Who Should I Start? DJ Moore or Michael Pittman Jr.

Saturday, February 14, 6:51 AM

Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore had the least productive season of his NFL career in 2025, recording 50 receptions for 683 yards and six touchdowns on 85 targets across 17 games played. On the bright side, Moore remains an NFL ironman, as he has played all 17 games in five consecutive seasons and has missed just two contests across his eight-year career. Moore also finished the 2025 season strong, hauling in 11 catches for 116 yards and two touchdowns on 15 targets in Chicago's two postseason games. However, Moore could be seeing some age-related decline as he enters his age-29 season, and the Bears have a strong collection of young pass-catchers coming up behind him in wide receivers Rome Odunze and Luther Burden III, as well as tight end Colston Loveland. Moore has a significant chunk of money remaining on his current contract with Chicago, so he appears likely to be with the Bears in 2026. While Moore should still play an important role in the team's passing game, his days as a lead NFL wideout and a consistent fantasy producer may be behind him.

Indianapolis wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. carries an expected $29 million salary cap hit into 2026, but the Colts could clear all but $5 million by cutting him before the new league year. With Alec Pierce coming off his first 1,000-yard campaign and set for unrestricted free agency, the belief around Indianapolis is that the team will prioritize him over the 28-year-old Pittman. With the 12-plus games played by Daniel Jones before his season-ending Achilles injury arguably representing the pinnacle of quarterback play that Pittman has seen in his six-year career, the always steady, but never explosive, receiver could still have more to show. While he's never come close to delivering on his former top-ten dynasty ranking, his value could once again spike if he lands in the right situation.
