DJ Moore vs Luther Burden: 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. Luther Burden (Chicago Bears) came in at 7.0 PPG over 15 games. The gap is real but not insurmountable with the right matchup.
DJ Moore carries a 1.5-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 Luther Burden converted 60 looks into 652 yards and 2 scores. When target volume is this close, game script and defensive matchup typically decide the weekly winner.
DJ Moore has his bye in Week 12, and Luther Burden rests in Week 7. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at wide receiver for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
