DJ Moore fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 1 (2024). Should you start or sit DJ Moore for fantasy football lineups?
BALLER MOVE: Start In All Formats
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2 with WR1 upside
ANALYSIS: DJ Moore had a fantastic season in 2023, accumulating 1,346 yards and scoring eight touchdowns. Those numbers were good enough for the WR6 finish in PPR scoring formats. Although Moore’s value has dropped a little due to an increase in his team’s receiving talent, he should still be a valuable fantasy player and is a must-start in Week 1.
The Chicago Bears completely revamped their offense this past offseason, adding Keenan Allen via trade and drafting Caleb Williams and Rome Odunze with the first and ninth picks in the NFL draft.
With the addition of two new receivers (one great and one with great potential), Moore’s target share is expected to decrease. In 2023, Moore was targeted 136 times, with the next-best Bears receiver (Darnell Mooney) having only 61. The targets will likely look much more spread out across the new big-3 in 2024.
Still, Moore is expected to be the Bears’ WR1 and will be a valuable fantasy asset all season long. He may not be able to repeat his success last year and finish as a top-10 fantasy receiver, but he should still finish in the top 20. He is a lock to start weekly in pretty much all fantasy leagues.

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. Bateman looked solid in training camp, though then again, so do players like WR Elijah Moore, and they end up not doing much in real games. […]
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.

He played 91 percent […]
