Who Should I Start? DJ Moore or Tetairoa McMillan

Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore (hip, groin) practiced in a limited capacity on Thursday after being held out of practice on Wednesday, per The Athletic's Kevin Fishbain. Chicago has been careful with Moore in early-week practices as he nurses hip and groin ailments, but he looks to be on track to play in Week 10 against the New York Giants. The 28-year-old has recorded at least 72 receiving yards in two straight games after failing to reach that mark in any of his first six contests. Overall, Moore has recorded 30 catches for 403 yards and a touchdown on 44 targets across eight games. Assuming he's cleared to play, Moore profiles as a low-end fantasy WR2 in a favorable matchup against the Giants in Week 10.

Tetairoa McMillan was the top receiver for the Carolina Panthers again in their 16-13 upset over the Green Bay Packers in Week 9, but the numbers were not outstanding. The rookie wide receiver totaled 46 yards on four receptions with 8.6 PPR fantasy points. Carolina's defense kept the game close, and the Panthers prioritize the running game over the passing game. Although McMillan remains the target hog for the team in the passing game, Carolina's run-first approach is likely to be on display again in Week 10 against the Saints. New Orleans ranks 28th in the last two weeks in fantasy points per game allowed to running backs (29.3), and gave up 172 rushing yards to the Rams RBs in Week 9. Despite the Panthers favoring the running game, fantasy players should continue starting McMillan in lineups, especially as he can flash upside in any given week.
