Who Should I Start? DJ Moore or Ladd McConkey

Chicago Bears wide receiver D.J. Moore was able to find the endzone twice in Week 12, totaling 64 yards on five receptions in the 31-28 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Despite his strong showing against Pittsburgh, Week 12 marked just his second game of the season with seven or more targets in a game. Whether it's due to the emergence of Rome Odunze, Luther Burden III, and Colston Loveland or the strong workload given to the run game, Moore is a risky option for fantasy managers moving forward. The Eagles host the Bears this weekend, and their secondary has given up the 10th most yards to wide receivers in 2025. Despite the ideal matchup, Moore is a FLEX play at best in Week 13.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey caught three passes for 13 yards on four targets in the team's blowout loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The entire offense was ineffective, with Justin Herbert passing for only 81 yards, and the Chargers holding the ball for just 22 minutes. After scoring four touchdowns in his last six games, this was McConkey's lowest-target outing of the season and his second-worst game in receptions and yards. He entered Week 11 as the team's clear WR1, but Los Angeles couldn't sustain drives long enough for any receiver to produce. McConkey still leads the league in routes run and ranks in the top 12 in overall targets. With a Week 12 bye ahead, fantasy managers should see this as an outlier with better days ahead.
