Who Should I Start? DJ Moore or Jaxon Smith-Njigba

Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore had the least productive season of his NFL career in 2025, recording 50 receptions for 683 yards and six touchdowns on 85 targets across 17 games played. On the bright side, Moore remains an NFL ironman, as he has played all 17 games in five consecutive seasons and has missed just two contests across his eight-year career. Moore also finished the 2025 season strong, hauling in 11 catches for 116 yards and two touchdowns on 15 targets in Chicago's two postseason games. However, Moore could be seeing some age-related decline as he enters his age-29 season, and the Bears have a strong collection of young pass-catchers coming up behind him in wide receivers Rome Odunze and Luther Burden III, as well as tight end Colston Loveland. Moore has a significant chunk of money remaining on his current contract with Chicago, so he appears likely to be with the Bears in 2026. While Moore should still play an important role in the team's passing game, his days as a lead NFL wideout and a consistent fantasy producer may be behind him.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba continues to trend up after a historic third season in the NFL. He made a Pro Bowl for the second consecutive year, exploding for 119 catches, 1,793 yards, and 10 touchdowns. As a result, he ranked as the overall WR2 in full-PPR leagues and was named the NFL's Offensive Player of the Year. In some situations, this may be an intriguing opportunity to sell high, but that's not the case with Smith-Njigba. He's just 24 years old and should only continue to improve within the coming seasons. There could be more OPOY awards in his future, and he'll remain a real threat to finish as the overall WR1 in fantasy football. He's one of the top dynasty players and should be a top-four pick in 2026 redraft leagues.
