Who Should I Start? DJ Moore or Tyler Shough

Sunday, December 7, 7:24 AM

Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore continues to be an inconsistent fantasy football option. He ranks as the overall WR37 in PPR leagues so far, failing to establish himself as a truly reliable fantasy receiver despite previous optimism that he would be the Bears' top receiver in 2025 and beyond. The 28-year-old had a 64-yard, two-touchdown performance a couple of weeks ago, but aside from that big game, he has been a significant disappointment. With that said, he does have a chance to bounce back on Sunday in Week 14 against the Green Bay Packers, who most recently surrendered 309 passing yards to Detroit. Moore could still capitalize on this matchup and, thus, should be started as an RB3/flex. RotoBaller's Week 14 fantasy rankings have Moore listed as the WR34.

New Orleans Saints rookie quarterback Tyler Shough has finished as a QB1 in three of his last four starts, peaking at QB6 in a Week 14 upset of the Buccaneers. While he threw for only 144 yards with zero touchdowns and an interception, his day was buoyed by 55 yards on the ground and two rushing touchdowns. He has now registered at least six carries in three straight games, topping 20 yards on the ground in two of three and showcasing a skillset that wasn't a huge part of his profile coming out of Louisville. Since taking over as the Saints starter in Week 9, he has demonstrated plus athleticism and a command of the offense, entering the conversation as a viable streamer. Unfortunately, his first two fantasy playoff matchups are against the Panthers and Jets, both of whom have been challenging for fantasy quarterbacks. He does draw a favorable matchup against the Titans in Week 17, but most managers who reach the fantasy championship will have likely done so without needing to stream the position.
