Who Should I Start? DJ Moore or Malik Nabers

Sunday, November 2, 8:48 PM

Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore caught four of his six targets for 72 receiving yards during Sunday's Week 9 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. He also had a two-yard passing touchdown and a 17-yard rushing touchdown. We've heard for several months that Moore was going to have some unique ways of getting involved in new head coach Ben Johnson's system, but perhaps nobody expected the wide receiver to run and throw for a touchdown in the same game. The 28-year-old had his best fantasy performance (PPR) since Week 12 last season. He remains a low-end WR2 heading into Week 10 against the 2-7 New York Giants.

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee) had surgery on Tuesday to fix the torn ACL and meniscus in his right knee, and he "should be ready" for the start of next season, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Nabers suffered his season-ending knee injury in the Week 4 win over the Los Angeles Chargers, but he just now had surgery after doctors had to wait for the swelling in his knee to dissipate. Barring setbacks with his rehab and recovery in the offseason, the 22-year-old former first-rounder should be good to go for the start of the 2026 season next fall, although fantasy managers might have some reservations about rolling with a receiver coming off a major knee repair as a high-end WR1. Before his injury, though, Nabers had displayed his game-changing abilities with 271 yards and two scores on 18 receptions in four games. His long-term fantasy ceiling should be higher going forward now that rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart looks like the real deal.
