Who Should I Start? DJ Moore or Xavier Worthy

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.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy (shoulder) was a full participant in practice on Wednesday, a good sign that he will be able to return on Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 4, according to Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports. The Kansas City Star's Pete Sweeney reports that the Chiefs are growing optimistic that Worthy will be able to return this weekend after dislocating his shoulder in the season-opening loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. "We'll just evaluate him," head coach Andy Reid said Wednesday. "(We'll) take it day by day, but he feels good, so we'll see." Worthy has already had five limited practices since returning on Sept. 11, but he missed both Weeks 2 and 3. However, if Worthy is active this Sunday, he'll likely be on a limited snap count, making him a pretty dicey fantasy option in an offense that has not looked right through three weeks.
