Who Should I Start? DJ Moore or Jayden Reed

Friday, November 7, 7:29 PM

Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore (groin, hip) upgraded to a full practice on Friday and has been cleared to play this Sunday against the visiting New York Giants in Week 10. Moore was held out of practice on Wednesday and was limited on Thursday before being a full-go in the final practice of the week. The 28-year-old has battled injuries in recent weeks, but he hasn't missed any games and will be full speed ahead this weekend in a good matchup against the G-Men. Moore has mostly taken a back seat to second-year wideout Rome Odunze in 2025, but that wasn't the case in the team's 47-point explosion in the Week 9 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. He had four catches for 72 yards, a 17-yard rushing touchdown, and even threw a touchdown pass on a track play, while Odunze didn't have a single catch. Moore has only two touchdowns on the year, but he has topped 70 receiving yards for the first time all year in two straight games. Fantasy managers will be hoping that trend continues as a low-end WR2/high-end WR3/flex in Week 10.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed (collarbone, foot) has been on Injured Reserve since suffering a broken collarbone in Week 2. Reed also underwent foot surgery, so he's recovering from multiple injuries, but might be nearing a return in the next few weeks. This week, he has been spotted on the practice field with no pads, working alongside the wide receivers. From a fantasy perspective, the Packers' expansive receiver room is somewhat clustered, as there is no transparent alpha. Romeo Doubs has led the pack with a 20.8% target share, Matthew Golden with an 11.8% target share, Christian Watson with a 10.8% target share, and even Tucker Kraft (knee), who is done for the year but was breaking out in a big way, was only seeing a 16.8% target share. This pass-catching room is a messy one that will be hard to predict, and throwing Reed back into the mix in a few weeks will only make it more difficult. Reed recorded 55 catches for 857 yards and six touchdowns on 75 targets in 2024. For now, fantasy managers can continue to hold him on their IR, but temper expectations around his return, considering his return is projected to be a week or two before the fantasy playoffs start.
