DJ Moore vs Jalen McMillan: Who Should You Start?

Deciding between DJ Moore and Jalen McMillan is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The Buffalo Bills wide receiver put up 8.5 PPG in 2025 over 17 games; Jalen McMillan of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers averaged 6.0 in 4. A 2.5-point margin that could shift on any given week.

The per-game difference of 2.5 points favors DJ Moore, though savvy managers know that gap can shrink or widen depending on the weekly slate. Defensive matchup, recent scoring trends, and health status all shift the calculus from one wide receiver to the other.

Target volume is the story here. DJ Moore saw 85 targets in 2025, while Jalen McMillan drew 15. That workload gap usually translates into a higher weekly floor for DJ Moore, even in weeks where Jalen McMillan posts the bigger ceiling game. Consistency-minded managers lean toward target share; boom-bust managers chase the upside.

One scheduling note: DJ Moore is off Week 12 and Jalen McMillan Week 11. 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.
