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

Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore caught two passes for 16 yards in his preseason debut against the Buffalo Bills. Moore caught a six-yard pass from quarterback Caleb Williams on the first drive and a 10-yard out route that moved the chains on third down. Moore's role under new head coach Ben Johnson is being determined, but he appeared to be a focal point in his two drives with the first-team offense. Moore is ranked 43rd (WR24) on RotoBaller's current half-PPR rankings and should see an uptick in production with Keenan Allen out of the picture and Williams entering a potential breakout season.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught one pass for seven yards in Friday's preseason win over the Kansas City Chiefs. The Seahawks' starting offense got its first run of the preseason on the team's opening drive. Smith-Njigba was lined up all over the field and caught his lone pass out of the backfield. It appears that offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak's play-calling will be more creative than what the Seahawks had in 2024. With Smith-Njigba now entrenched as Seattle's No. 1 wide receiver, it was encouraging to see him moved around the field to create preferred matchups and manufacture touches. While JSN's time on the field on Friday was short, fantasy managers can come away from this game with more confidence to draft him.
