Who Should I Start? DJ Moore or Mecole Hardman

Friday, December 19, 9:53 PM

Chicago Bears wide receiver D.J. Moore is in a smash spot entering Week 16's matchup against the Green Bay Packers. Moore hauled in four of five targets for 69 yards and two touchdowns in last week's dominant victory over the Cleveland Browns. Now, the Bears will be without top receiver Rome Odunze (foot) and ascending rookie Luther Burden III (ankle), which opens up targets for Moore and the rest of the Bears' receiving corps. They face the Green Bay Packers in Week 16, who have allowed the 13th-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. It's been a rocky road for Moore this season, but with the injuries to Odunze and Burden, along with an ideal matchup, he is a locked-in WR2 in Week 16.

The Buffalo Bills are opening wide receiver Mecole Hardman's (calf) 21-day practice window on Wednesday, according to Maddy Glab of BuffaloBills.com. Hardman has been on Injured Reserve for the last four games after injuring his calf in the Week 11 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 27-year-old will be eligible to play this Sunday in Week 16 against the Cleveland Browns on the road, but the Bills will have to officially activate him from IR first. When healthy, Hardman is unlikely to be a big part of Buffalo's offense, especially with Gabe Davis and Brandin Cooks now in the picture. The former Kansas City Chiefs wideout will be a top kickoff return option on special teams, though. Hardman failed to reel in his only target in his only game played for the Bills this year. He will not be on the fantasy radar for the final three weeks of the regular season.
