Who Should I Start? DJ Moore or Khalil Shakir

Monday, January 19, 10:28 AM

Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore posted a strong outing in his final game of the 2025 season, recording five catches for 52 yards and a touchdown on eight targets in his team's NFC Divisional Round loss to the Los Angeles Rams. The 28-year-old was a standout performer across Chicago's two postseason games, hauling in 11 receptions for 116 yards and two touchdowns on 15 targets. However, Moore had his least productive regular season since his rookie year, recording 50 catches for 682 yards and six touchdowns on 85 targets across 17 games. Going forward, the Bears have a trio of young pass-catchers in wide receivers Luther Burden III and Rome Odunze, as well as tight end Colston Loveland, who could push Moore down Chicago's target-share pecking order. Moore's future status with the Bears could be a storyline for fantasy managers to monitor over the course of the offseason.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir was one of the stars of his team's Wild Card Weekend win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, recording 12 receptions for 82 yards on 12 targets. On a day when no other Buffalo pass-catcher earned more than five targets, Shakir proved he has earned the trust of Bills quarterback Josh Allen. Heading into the team's Divisional round matchup against the Denver Broncos, Allen may be forced to lean on Shakir even more heavily. Buffalo wide receivers Gabe Davis (knee) and Tyrell Shavers (knee) both suffered season-ending knee injuries during the game against Jacksonville, further depleting an already undermanned Bills' wide receiver corps. Outside of Shakir, Buffalo will likely be relying on wideouts Keon Coleman and Brandin Cooks, both of whom recorded fewer than 40 receptions during the regular season. Even in a tough matchup against Denver, Shakir profiles as a high-floor wide receiver option for fantasy managers given his high likelihood for significant target volume.
