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 (shoulder) will not carry an injury designation and will play in his team's Week 11 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings, according to Sean Hammond of the Chicago Tribune. Moore has been limited in practice this week due to the injury, but it appears it will not keep him from suiting up in a crucial divisional contest. Moore has not missed a game since the 2020 season. The 30-year-old has hauled in 30 catches for 403 yards and a touchdown on 48 targets across nine games this season. However, he's coming off a four-target, zero-catch game in Week 10 against the New York Giants. It's possible that the shoulder injury could keep Moore from playing his usual allotment of snaps and could open up some additional opportunities for Bears rookie wideout Luther Burden III. Moore profiles as a low-end WR3/high-end WR4 for fantasy managers in Week 11 against Minnesota.
