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 officially off the fantasy radar ahead of Week 12's matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. After being drafted as a top-25 receiver in fantasy drafts this season, Moore has hauled in 31 of 51 targets for 421 yards and one touchdown in 10 games. Whether his connection with quarterback Caleb Williams is not there or his current role in the scheme, Moore's struggles have been evident this season. Moore faces a Steelers defense in Week 12, which has allowed the most PPR fantasy points per game to wide receivers this season. However, with his current struggles, Moore should not be considered a starting option in fantasy matchups for Week 12.
