Who Should I Start? Elijah Moore or Josh Downs

Sunday, December 22, 9:26 PM

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Elijah Moore caught two of his five targets for 21 yards in a 24-6 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 16. Moore and the rest of the Cleveland receivers struggled in Dorian Thompson-Robinson's first start of the season as most of the quarterback's 157 passing yards went to David Njoku (66 yards) and Jerome Ford (39). Moore has been held to 34 or fewer receiving yards in three straight games and will not be on the fantasy radar heading into a home matchup against the Miami Dolphins in Week 17.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs caught three of four targets for 61 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-30 win over the Titans. While it doesn't sound like much, the three catches were a team-high and so were the targets and the yardage total as quarterback Anthony Richardson was asked to throw the ball just 11 times in the game while the rushing attack racked up 335 yards. The 23-year-old has three catches in three consecutive games and at least three in 11 of the 12 games he's played, giving him a reliable floor. However, with meager yardage totals more often than not and sporadic TDs, it'll be hard to trust him next week in fantasy championships as anything more than a WR3 in a showdown with the Giants. New York has been surprisingly good at limiting wide receivers in fantasy production, perhaps in part because they are awful against the run, so Richardson and Jonathan Taylor will likely be relied upon to carry the load again.
