DJ Moore vs Marquise Brown: Who Should You Start?

This is a genuine coin flip on paper. DJ Moore finished the 2025 season at 8.5 PPG over 17 games with the Buffalo Bills, while Marquise Brown clocked in at 7.1 across 16 appearances for the Philadelphia Eagles. A 1.4-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. DJ Moore turned 85 targets into 682 yards and 6 touchdowns, while Marquise Brown converted 74 looks into 587 yards and 5 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 Marquise Brown Week 5. 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.

The Bottom Line

The 2025 numbers favor DJ Moore at 8.5 PPG, 1.4 points per game above Marquise Brown's 7.1. But season stats only tell part of the story. DraftCall's AI factors in weekly matchup, recent form, and injury status to give you a verdict that updates with the latest data.
