DJ Moore vs Jaylen Waddle: Who Should You Start?
Two wide receivers who will land on plenty of the same rosters in 2026. DJ Moore (Buffalo Bills) finished the 2025 season averaging 8.5 fantasy points per game in 17 games. Jaylen Waddle (Denver Broncos) came in at 10.1 PPG over 16 games. The gap is real but not insurmountable with the right matchup.
Jaylen Waddle carries a 1.6-point PPG advantage from the 2025 season. That baseline matters, but it is one input among several. Matchup difficulty, scoring trends, and injury reports move the needle week to week, which is why the best answer changes depending on when you are asking.
Both are workload receivers with similar target shares. DJ Moore turned 85 targets into 682 yards and 6 touchdowns, while Jaylen Waddle converted 100 looks into 910 yards and 6 scores. When target volume is this close, game script and defensive matchup typically decide the weekly winner.
One scheduling note: DJ Moore is off Week 12 and Jaylen Waddle Week 14. 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.
