Who Should I Start? DJ Moore or Terry McLaurin

Thursday, February 26, 6:25 AM

The Chicago Bears have received calls on wide receiver DJ Moore this offseason, sources told Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. There has been speculation that Moore might be traded after a down year in 2025. He has over $23 million in guaranteed money in 2026 and is "viewed as available for the right price" by teams in the market for a receiver. The Bears are also getting calls on backup quarterback Tyson Bagent from QB-needy teams. Offensively, the Bears took a step forward in 2025 under head coach Ben Johnson, but Moore only caught 50 passes for 682 yards and six touchdowns in 17 regular-season games. Moore has had at least four touchdowns in seven of his eight NFL seasons, but his 682 receiving yards were a career-low, as well as his 50 receptions, and that came with Rome Odunze missing time due to an injury. The 28-year-old's best chance of bouncing back in 2026 is most likely with another team.

Washington Commanders offensive coordinator David Blough said that he wants wide receiver Terry McLaurin to get at least 10 targets per game. "This thing's going to be built around how do we get Terry 10 targets a game and get him explosive receptions after explosive receptions to kind of flip the field," Blough told WUSA9's John Doran. That's an aggressive goal to set, especially when stated publicly. McLaurin averaged just six targets per game in 2025, albeit with an inconsistent quarterback mix of Jayden Daniels, Marcus Mariota, and Josh Johnson. Furthermore, he posted double-digit targets just once: in Week 13 against the Denver Broncos, with Mariota as his quarterback. Daniels is due back from an elbow injury in time for the 2026 season opener, which is a good sign for McLaurin's volume. The 30-year-old receiver averaged 11.4 full-PPR points per game last season and should rank as a mid-to-high WR2 ahead of 2026 fantasy football drafts.
