Brian Thomas vs DJ Moore: Who Should You Start?
This is a genuine coin flip on paper. Brian Thomas finished the 2025 season at 8.2 PPG over 14 games with the Jacksonville Jaguars, while DJ Moore clocked in at 8.5 across 17 appearances for the Buffalo Bills. A 0.3-point gap means any given week could go either way.
With a margin this thin, season averages are not the deciding factor. Weekly variables like opponent defense, game script, and injury status carry more weight than a fraction of a PPG. The right start in Week 6 might be the wrong start in Week 14.
Both are workload receivers with similar target shares. Brian Thomas turned 91 targets into 707 yards and 2 touchdowns, while DJ Moore converted 85 looks into 682 yards and 6 scores. When target volume is this close, game script and defensive matchup typically decide the weekly winner.
One thing to note: both players share a Week 12 bye. That means you need a backup plan at wide receiver for that week, especially if one of these two is your starter.
