Who Should I Start? DJ Moore or Malik Nabers

Saturday, November 15, 12:42 PM

Chicago Bears wide receiver D.J. Moore is off the injury report heading into Week 11, but is still struggling to find a role in this offense. In 2025, Moore is averaging his fewest catches, yards, and touchdowns in his entire NFL career, and currently ranks as the WR46 on a per-game basis. His struggles were well demonstrated in Week 10, when Moore was held without a catch against the New York Giants. The veteran receiver will look to bounce back against the Minnesota Vikings, who have allowed the eighth fewest fantasy points to wide receivers this season. While the Bears could look to get Moore involved early in the game, he is still a hard player to trust starting in fantasy matchups this week.

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.
