Who Should I Start? Robert Woods or DJ Moore

Tuesday, September 2, 9:39 PM

The Pittsburgh Steelers have released veteran wide receiver Robert Woods from their practice squad, per an announcement from the team. Woods played in 15 games for the Houston Texans in 2024, recording 20 catches for 203 yards. The 33-year-old has been a steadily productive NFL receiver for over a decade, but he could be nearing the end of the road. Pittsburgh does not have much proven wide receiver depth behind top wideout DK Metcalf, so giving up on Woods could be telling of just how little juice the veteran has left in the tank. Even if Woods signs elsewhere, he should remain off the fantasy radar in 2025.

Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore (groin, hip) upgraded to a full practice on Friday and has been cleared to play this Sunday against the visiting New York Giants in Week 10. Moore was held out of practice on Wednesday and was limited on Thursday before being a full-go in the final practice of the week. The 28-year-old has battled injuries in recent weeks, but he hasn't missed any games and will be full speed ahead this weekend in a good matchup against the G-Men. Moore has mostly taken a back seat to second-year wideout Rome Odunze in 2025, but that wasn't the case in the team's 47-point explosion in the Week 9 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. He had four catches for 72 yards, a 17-yard rushing touchdown, and even threw a touchdown pass on a track play, while Odunze didn't have a single catch. Moore has only two touchdowns on the year, but he has topped 70 receiving yards for the first time all year in two straight games. Fantasy managers will be hoping that trend continues as a low-end WR2/high-end WR3/flex in Week 10.
