Who Should I Start? DJ Moore or Ladd McConkey

Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore is unsure exactly what his specific role is going to be in new head coach Ben Johnson's offense in 2025. Moore finished with a career-low 56.8 receiving yards per game while catching 98 of his 140 targets for 966 yards and six touchdowns in 17 starts. The 28-year-old had a career-best 1,364 receiving yards and a career-high eight touchdowns in his first year in Chicago with Justin Fields at quarterback, but he struggled to gel with Caleb Williams in his rookie season, especially early on. "Right now I don't have goals because I'm still learning everything and I don't even know if I'm going to touch the ball as much as I did some years or if I'm going to be used the same way," Moore said. He could be used in the slot, but the Bears also added tight end Colston Loveland and receiver Luther Burden III in this year's draft.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey dealt with multiple injuries last season, but still only missed one game during the regular season. The rookie wideout seemed banged up throughout most of the season, but still put up strong numbers. He finished with 1,149 receiving yards with 82 receptions and seven touchdowns in 16 games (14 starts) with the Chargers last season. Now, McConkey is focusing on the art of falling down in order to protect himself from injury. McConkey wants to learn how to fall safely to avoid serious injury and stay on the field as much as possible. It's nice to see such a young player taking care of his body this early in his career. McConkey was a stud last season and his value figures to only go up.
