Who Should I Start? DJ Moore or Justin Jefferson

Thursday, September 11, 4:54 PM

Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore (abdomen/groin) practiced in full for the second straight day on Thursday, per The Athletic's Kevin Fishbain. Moore took a nasty hit towards the end of Chicago's Week 1 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, but it appears he is trending towards playing in Week 2 against the Detroit Lions. Moore was out-targeted by second-year Bears wideout Rome Odunze in the team's season opener, but did earn three carries, which could be an indication of an expanded role in 2025. Moore profiles as a low-end fantasy WR2/high-end WR3 this week against the Lions.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson had 44 receiving yards on four catches and a touchdown in a 27-24 win against the Bears. Jefferson earned a team-high seven targets, but was unable to get touches early in the game as quarterback J.J. McCarthy struggled. The offense started moving the ball better and sustained some drives in the second half. Jefferson caught a laser beam from McCarthy for a 13-yard touchdown early in the fourth quarter. Jefferson uncharacteristically dropped a pretty well-placed ball from McCarthy on a deep over, although McCarthy was a tad late. There should be better days for Jefferson as he and McCarthy continue to build rapport and gain more reps together. He is still locked in as one of the three best wide receivers in fantasy football.
