Who Should I Start? DJ Moore or Rashee Rice

Buffalo Bills wide receiver DJ Moore is trending up in dynasty leagues after being traded away from the Chicago Bears earlier this month. Moore was the WR6 in 2023 and the WR16 in 2024, but he fell to WR35 with a modest 50 catches, 682 yards, and six touchdowns this past season. He took a major step backward in the Bears' system despite playing all 17 games, likely due to the increased presence of Rome Odunze, Luther Burden III, and Colston Loveland. The down season has caused Moore's dynasty value to dip, but the offseason trade makes him an intriguing buy-low candidate. For starters, the fact that Buffalo actively went out and invested a second-round pick in Moore indicates that they plan to get him very heavily involved. Additionally, compared to Chicago, he faces less competition in Buffalo while also getting a quarterback upgrade. Josh Allen finally has a true No. 1 receiver for the first time in a while, and Moore should get peppered with targets in new head coach Joe Brady's offense. Moore is suddenly a very intriguing pick to finish among the top 18 fantasy receivers next year and for several years to come. Dynasty managers should consider sending out trade offers to buy low on Moore before his price tag climbs higher.
