Who Should I Start? DJ Moore or Terry McLaurin

Chicago Bears wide receiver D.J. Moore is off to a sluggish start in 2025. Since the arrival of quarterback Caleb Williams, Moore has averaged just 56 yards per game with six touchdowns across 19 games. The chemistry between the two has yet to click, and Moore's role has clearly diminished with second-year receiver Rome Odunze emerging as the Bears' WR1. That said, Week 3 offers a get-right opportunity. The Dallas Cowboys allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to wide receivers in 2024 and just gave up a monster performance to Malik Nabers (167 yards, two TDs) in Week 2. While Moore's ceiling is capped by Odunze's rise, the matchup keeps him firmly in play as a high-end WR3 with upside this week.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) was not spotted at the portion of practice open to the media on Thursday, according to Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post. Noah Brown (groin, knee), who did not play in the Week 3 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, was also not present. McLaurin has been getting multiple medical opinions on a quad injury he suffered in Week 3, and even spent time with a core-muscle specialist. If the 30-year-old misses a second straight practice, he'll be on the wrong side of questionable for this weekend's contest against the Atlanta Falcons. Washington could be without both McLaurin and Brown, which means that Luke McCaffrey and rookie Jaylin Lane would start in three-wide sets next to Deebo Samuel Sr. Tight end Zach Ertz will be a must-start if McLaurin sits.
