Who Should I Start? DJ Moore or Jordan Mason

Saturday, October 18, 12:12 PM

Chicago Bears wide receiver D.J. Moore (groin) is off the injury report and set to play in Week 7 against the New Orleans Saints. Moore was hospitalized following the team's Week 6 win over Washington due to a groin injury, but he practiced in full this week and is ready to go. It's been a slow start to the 2025 season for Moore, who has totaled 240 yards and one touchdown on 27 total attempts through five games. With Rome Odunze emerging as the team's WR1, Moore has struggled to find consistency. However, he gets a chance to rebound against a Saints defense that has allowed the eighth-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. After New Orleans was torched by Drake Maye and the Patriots in Week 6, there's real upside for the Bears' passing attack this week. Moore profiles as a solid WR3 with bounce-back potential in Week 7.

Minnesota Vikings running back Jordan Mason should be considered an RB2/high-end Flex play when his team plays host to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. Not only are the injury-riddled Vikings expected to have guard Donovan Jackson (wrist) back in the lineup, but the Eagles are among the bottom rung of defenses against fantasy running backs, ranking 24th in yards per attempt allowed and 30th in rushing first downs allowed. Only three NFL teams have surrendered more rushing touchdowns. With backfield mate Aaron Jones (hamstring) still on injured reserve, Mason should receive lead-back work in the Minnesota backfield. Although the Vikings' offense has struggled at times this season, Mason should have enough opportunity to start in fantasy lineups in Week 7.
