Who Should I Start? D.J. Moore or Tee Higgins

Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore is a risky WR3 option in Week 12 as he faces a challenging matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. He'll build on his momentum after a solid outing in Week 11 against the Green Bay Packers, where Moore hauled in six receptions for 62 yards. The recent change in offensive coordinator has seen Moore more involved in the quick passing game, a strategy that will be crucial against the Vikings' aggressive defense. Minnesota ranks 4th in points per game allowed and 5th in EPA per pass, making it a tough matchup for any passing game. The Vikings also blitz at one of the highest rates in the NFL, which could pressure quarterback Justin Fields and limit Moore's opportunities for downfield targets. However, with the Bears' new offensive playcalling, there is some hope for upside, significantly if the quick passes help Moore get into space. While Moore is a risky WR3 with a tough matchup, his involvement in the passing game and the potential for volume could still provide a solid floor in PPR formats. Fantasy managers should temper expectations but keep him in flex consideration.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins caught nine of his 13 targets for 148 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's Week 11 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. This was easily Higgins' best game of the year, bringing his season totals to 38 catches, 489 yards, and four touchdowns through six contests. Although the 25-year-old doesn't generate as much buzz as teammate Ja'Marr Chase, he's still a very intriguing fantasy option who has repeatedly shown that he can co-exist alongside Chase in Cincinnati's offense. Higgins will rank among the top 24 fantasy receivers when the Bengals return to action in Week 13.
