Who Should I Start? DJ Moore or Ladd McConkey

Sunday, December 7, 7:24 AM

Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore continues to be an inconsistent fantasy football option. He ranks as the overall WR37 in PPR leagues so far, failing to establish himself as a truly reliable fantasy receiver despite previous optimism that he would be the Bears' top receiver in 2025 and beyond. The 28-year-old had a 64-yard, two-touchdown performance a couple of weeks ago, but aside from that big game, he has been a significant disappointment. With that said, he does have a chance to bounce back on Sunday in Week 14 against the Green Bay Packers, who most recently surrendered 309 passing yards to Detroit. Moore could still capitalize on this matchup and, thus, should be started as an RB3/flex. RotoBaller's Week 14 fantasy rankings have Moore listed as the WR34.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey caught four passes for 39 yards and one touchdown, leading the team with six targets during their 31-14 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. With Justin Herbert managing a fractured non-throwing hand sustained early in the game, the Chargers relied heavily on the run game. They kept most throws short behind PFF's league-worst offensive line, limiting big-play opportunities for all Bolts' receivers. Still, McConkey's continued involvement in the red zone is encouraging. Next Monday night, a top-10 secondary from the Philadelphia Eagles awaits, and Herbert's status remains uncertain. If Trey Lance starts, all pass catchers could see reduced production. However, Philly's defense has been notably vulnerable to slot receivers, giving McConkey a potential upside as the most natural fit to exploit their weakness.
