Who Should I Start? DJ Moore or Tucker Kraft

Saturday, November 1, 9:43 AM

Chicago Bears wide receiver D.J. Moore is coming off his best game of the season in Week 8 against the Ravens, catching four of his seven targets for a season high 73 yards. It's been an otherwise down year for the 28-year-old, failing to exceed 70 yards in every other game and scoring only one touchdown. His target share has dipped to just 17.3% in Ben Johnson's offense after being above 26% in both of his first two seasons in Chicago. Moore will have a chance to get back on track in Week 9 against a Bengals defense that hasn't slowed down any opponent this season and is tied for the highest net yards per pass attempt allowed in the league. Moore offers flex appeal in Week 9 in a favorable matchup, ranking as RotoBaller's WR31 in PPR formats.

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft has thrived over the last few weeks, and the overall TE1 in fantasy points per game looks to keep his hot streak going as the Packers host the Carolina Panthers in Week 9. Kraft scored 33.3 fantasy points against the Pittsburgh Steelers as he brought in 7-of-9 targets for 143 yards and two touchdowns, while leading the NFL in yards after the catch with 128 in Week 8. There's no doubt that Kraft has been the Packers' most explosive pass-catcher this season. With six touchdowns in seven games, Kraft has been awesome this season, but is still second to Romeo Doubs in team target share at just 19.1 percent. While he has been a volatile tight end option for fantasy managers over the first few weeks of the season, Kraft is now in must-start territory when the Packers match up with the Panthers in Week 9.
