Fantasy Tiers

DJ Moore: Tier 5 (Deep League) WR (ranked #41 at the position). Jordan Addison: Tier 5 (Deep League) WR (ranked #49 at the position).

That ranking gap means DJ Moore carries more trade value and a higher draft cost in 2026.

DJ Moore vs Jordan Addison: The Full Breakdown

DJ Moore (8.7 PPG) and Jordan Addison (8.1 PPG) produced nearly identical fantasy numbers in 2025. When two wide receivers are this close on a per-game basis, the weekly matchup matters more than the season-long resume. DJ Moore played 17 games for the Chicago Bears; Jordan Addison suited up 14 times for the Minnesota Vikings.

A 0.6-point per-game gap over a full season is essentially noise. It means one extra catch, one fewer target, or a single broken play away from flipping the script. For a weekly start/sit call between these two, matchup analysis matters far more than the season line.

Both are workload receivers with similar target shares. DJ Moore turned 85 targets into 682 yards and 6 touchdowns, while Jordan Addison converted 79 looks into 610 yards and 3 scores. When target volume is this close, game script and defensive matchup typically decide the weekly winner.

Bye weeks matter for roster construction: DJ Moore sits Week 10 while Jordan Addison is off Week 6. If you are deciding between the two as a season-long roster hold, the staggered byes actually work in your favor.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

Both are in a similar trade value range. A straight swap would be fair in most leagues, with the tiebreaker going to whichever manager values schedule or bye week more. Dynasty outlook: DJ Moore (age 29) is in the middle of his productive window. Stable dynasty value. Jordan Addison (age 24) has years of prime production ahead. Buy-and-hold dynasty asset.
