Who Should I Start? DJ Moore or Rashid Shaheed

The Athletic's Kevin Fishbain and Dan Wiederer say that there "seems to be a sense" that Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore will be back in 2026. However, no one could rule out the "possibility of him playing elsewhere if a good deal materializes." General manager Ryan Poles didn't make any promises and even expressed uncertainty that Moore would be with the team this spring, leading to speculation that the 28-year-old receiver could be traded this offseason. The Bears' coaching staff and front office value Moore's "intelligence, versatility, and underrated durability." For whatever reason, Moore and quarterback Caleb Williams haven't developed great chemistry, and Moore's $28.5 million salary cap hit for next season is a factor. It's discouraging for Moore's 2026 fantasy value if he stays in the Windy City because he had career-low production in 2025, with Williams taking a step forward in Year 2. A third- or fourth-rounder could be enough to get the Bears to bite.
