A.J. Brown vs DJ Moore: Who Should You Start?

If you are choosing between A.J. Brown and DJ Moore for your lineup, you are not alone. A.J. Brown finished the 2025 season at 12.1 PPG for the Philadelphia Eagles (15 games), and DJ Moore averaged 8.5 for the Buffalo Bills (17 games).

That 3.6-point weekly advantage for A.J. Brown is meaningful but not automatic. Fantasy football is a week-to-week sport, and the answer to "who should I start" often changes based on opponent, recent form, and game environment. Season averages set the baseline; weekly context makes the call.

Target volume is the story here. A.J. Brown saw 121 targets in 2025, while DJ Moore drew 85. That workload gap usually translates into a higher weekly floor for A.J. Brown, even in weeks where DJ Moore posts the bigger ceiling game. Consistency-minded managers lean toward target share; boom-bust managers chase the upside.

One scheduling note: A.J. Brown is off Week 5 and DJ Moore Week 12. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in wide receiver for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.
