Who Should I Start? DJ Moore or Justin Jefferson

Chicago Bears wide receiver D.J. Moore was unable to capitalize on his expanded opportunities in Week 14, totaling -4 yards on one reception against the Green Bay Packers. Despite Rome Odunze (foot) being out, Moore struggled and left fantasy managers as frustrated as they've been all season. The run-heavy approach the Bears have been using has been a factor, but his connection with Caleb Williams is simply not there. He faces the Cleveland Browns in Week 15, who have allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers this season. Even if Odunze is out for Week 15, Moore is hard to trust as a starting option from a fantasy perspective.

Week 15, which marks the start of the fantasy playoffs in many leagues, brings about an especially difficult call for fantasy managers who roster Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson ahead of a primetime game against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night. On one hand, Jefferson remains one of the game's best; he's healthy, and he's up against a Cowboys defense that has allowed more points to fantasy receivers than any other team. On the other hand, the superstar receiver's recent lack of production is staggering. Jefferson hasn't finished among the top 20 PPR receivers since Week 9, and he has just 15 combined receiving yards in Minnesota's past two games. Managers who have been burned surely feel cautious; however, the matchup is favorable, and Jefferson is still too good to completely overlook. Factoring in the offense's struggles as they break in quarterback J.J. McCarthy, Jefferson is more of a WR2/high-end flex, but there is serious potential against a Dallas defense that has given up a ton of production to wide receivers this season.
