Who Should I Start? DJ Moore or Malik Nabers

Chicago Bears wide receiver D.J. Moore hauled in three of his five targets for 68 yards in the Bears' season-opening loss to the Vikings. Moore also lost a fumble on the final play of the game, which also hurt his fantasy output. Moore was second on the team at wide receiver in snaps played and routes run behind Rome Odunze, and he had fewer targets than third receiver Olamide Zaccheaus as well. He briefly left the game after a big hit over the middle of the field in the fourth quarter but returned for the end of the final drive. Keep an eye on his injury status, but if he's healthy and ready to go, he'll be a solid flex play against the Lions in Week 2. He may not be the clear top target in Ben Johnson's new system, but he should remain involved enough to stay fantasy relevant with big-play potential.

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (back) was not given a game status on the team's final Week 1 injury report despite sitting out Friday's practice. With no injury designation, he is expected to be a full go on Sunday when the Giants open their season against the Commanders. Nabers has experienced minor ailments throughout training camp, and he missed Friday's practice due to back tightness. It appears, though, that the team is taking an extra cautious approach with their Pro Bowl receiver, and all signs point to him getting a full workload on Sunday. Nabers was electric as a rookie, making 109 catches in only 15 games, and reports out of Giants' camp indicate that he hasn't missed a beat with Russell Wilson now under center. Nabers should be started without hesitation, and he has a strong chance of being one of the week's highest scoring receivers.
