Who Should I Start? DJ Moore or Malik Nabers

Saturday, February 14, 6:51 AM

Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore had the least productive season of his NFL career in 2025, recording 50 receptions for 683 yards and six touchdowns on 85 targets across 17 games played. On the bright side, Moore remains an NFL ironman, as he has played all 17 games in five consecutive seasons and has missed just two contests across his eight-year career. Moore also finished the 2025 season strong, hauling in 11 catches for 116 yards and two touchdowns on 15 targets in Chicago's two postseason games. However, Moore could be seeing some age-related decline as he enters his age-29 season, and the Bears have a strong collection of young pass-catchers coming up behind him in wide receivers Rome Odunze and Luther Burden III, as well as tight end Colston Loveland. Moore has a significant chunk of money remaining on his current contract with Chicago, so he appears likely to be with the Bears in 2026. While Moore should still play an important role in the team's passing game, his days as a lead NFL wideout and a consistent fantasy producer may be behind him.

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee) told ESPN's Jordan Raanan that his rehab has been "phenomenal." Nabers suffered a torn ACL and meniscus in his right knee on Sept. 28 and had surgery in late October. The 22-year-old's recovery time will be extended due to the full meniscus repair he underwent, in addition to his ACL surgery. However, since his injury occurred so early in the previous season, Nabers has a chance to be ready for the start of training camp in late July. We will be keeping a close eye on Nabers' progress throughout the offseason. The former sixth overall pick's progress as we approach training camp will determine his 2026 fantasy value. In his rookie campaign in 2024, Nabers caught 109 passes for 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns on 170 targets. With promising young quarterback Jaxson Dart now in the picture, Nabers' fantasy ceiling could be even higher despite suffering a significant knee injury in 2025.
