Who Should I Start? DJ Moore or Jaylen Waddle

Saturday, September 27, 12:07 PM

Chicago Bears wide receiver D.J. Moore finally found the end zone in Week 3, his first touchdown of the 2025 season. It's been a slow start for the veteran, who has caught 12 of 16 targets for 135 yards and one score through three games. With second-year breakout Rome Odunze taking over as Chicago's WR1, Moore has seen a shift in usage, even taking on a hybrid role with six carries for 15 yards. Quarterback Caleb Williams even compared him to a potential "Deebo Samuel" piece in the offense. Moore gets a favorable matchup in Week 4 against a Raiders defense that has given up the fourth-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. While no longer the locked-in fantasy option he once was, Moore still carries upside and profiles as a high-end WR3 against a vulnerable secondary.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle recorded six catches for 110 yards and a touchdown on nine targets in his team's 27-24 Week 5 loss to the Carolina Panthers. In the team's first game of 2025 without star wideout Tyreek Hill (knee), Waddle stepped in admirably as the number one option in the passing game for Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. Waddle now has 23 catches for 295 yards and three touchdowns through five games in 2025. With Hill set to miss the remainder of the season with a knee injury, Waddle could be a must-start fantasy wide receiver the rest of the way.
