Who Should I Start? Mike Evans or DJ Moore

Wednesday, October 22, 7:47 PM

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers officially placed veteran wide receiver Mike Evans (collarbone) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday after he broke his clavicle in Monday night's loss to the Detroit Lions, according to Scott Smith of Buccaneers.com. Evans will be forced to miss at least four games while on IR, but his absence is expected to be much longer than that. However, he reportedly suffered a clean break of his collarbone and could return to the team in under eight weeks if his rehab goes well. Head coach Todd Bowles said it would be "touch and go" as to whether Evans will be able to get back on the field before the end of the regular season. Fantasy managers can go ahead and drop the future Hall of Famer in redraft leagues. It's a tough blow for Evans, who had just returned from a three-game absence due to a hamstring strain. He will finish shy of 1,000 receiving yards in 2025 for the first time in his 12 NFL seasons.

Chicago Bears wide receiver D.J. Moore is off the injury report heading into Week 11, but is still struggling to find a role in this offense. In 2025, Moore is averaging his fewest catches, yards, and touchdowns in his entire NFL career, and currently ranks as the WR46 on a per-game basis. His struggles were well demonstrated in Week 10, when Moore was held without a catch against the New York Giants. The veteran receiver will look to bounce back against the Minnesota Vikings, who have allowed the eighth fewest fantasy points to wide receivers this season. While the Bears could look to get Moore involved early in the game, he is still a hard player to trust starting in fantasy matchups this week.
