D.J. Moore fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 2 (2024). Should you start or sit D.J. Moore for fantasy football lineups?
BALLER MOVE: Start in all formats
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2
ANALYSIS: Chicago Bears wide receiver D.J. Moore is a great bet to get peppered with targets in Week 2 against the Houston Texans with Rome Odunze and Keenan Allen banged up. In Week 1 against the Tennessee Titans, Caleb Williams showed he is a rookie by only throwing for 93 yards. The Texans may serve as another tough matchup for Williams, but Moore fantasy managers should be optimistic after eight targets in Week 1 and expected improvement from the number one overall pick.
If both Odunze and Allen miss Sunday night, Moore could be in for a big game, especially in PPR formats. Allen led the team in targets with 11 in Week 1, while Odunze was third in targets with four. Moore led the receiving core in snaps with an 88% snap share, meaning he was likely to be heavily involved anyway in a game where the Bears may be playing catchup early on.
The availability of both receivers plays a part in Moore’s upside, but no matter what, fantasy managers should be happy with the 27-year-old as their WR2.

Rashod Bateman - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 14-Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman is about to get a lot more targets, according to Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson.

Quentin Johnston - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12 + Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: Many fantasy managers, myself included (regrettably), expected new Los Angeles Chargers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel to get wide receiver Quentin Johnston more involved on plays where he could utilize his skill set -- running after the catch -- better. That didn't happen in Week […]
Devaughn Vele - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Vele's performance in Week 1 was shocking. In the absence of WR Jordyn Tyson (hamstring), he served as the team's WR2, and caught seven of his nine targets for 69 yards and a touchdown, finishing with 19.9 PPR fantasy points. He played 91 percent […]
Deebo Samuel Sr. - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12-Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. was expected to play an ancillary role with his team when he was signed in the offseason. Then 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) had surgery to correct his PCL issues and was ruled out for the […]
Caleb Douglas- Start or Sit?
Baller Move: Bench in standard leagues, mid-end FLEX in deeper leagues Positional Value: WR4 Analysis: One of the big mysteries in fantasy football this offseason was how the Miami Dolphins’ offense would look in 2026.
