Who Should I Start? DJ Moore or Malik Nabers

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.

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers was once again the focal point of the team's offense during Sunday's training camp practice. Dan Duggan of The Athletic charted Nabers with five receptions on 10 completed passes by Russell Wilson. Nabers finished his rookie season with 165 targets, finishing behind only Ja'Marr Chase in that category despite missing two games. It's worth noting that Nabers has been managing a toe issue, but had dealt with it since college and wasn't slowed down by it during his rookie campaign. While the quarterback under center has changed, the game plan remains the same, and the 2025 Giants offense will once again run through Nabers. Ordinarily, there might be trepidation in taking pieces from a subpar offense, which the Giants project to be once more. Still, Nabers' unreal target numbers should have drafters feeling great about him as their first-round pick, and he could realistically challenge to be the overall WR1 this season.
