DJ Moore vs Rome Odunze: 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. Rome Odunze (Chicago Bears) came in at 10.3 PPG over 12 games. The gap is real but not insurmountable with the right matchup.
Rome Odunze carries a 1.8-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 Rome Odunze converted 90 looks into 661 yards and 6 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 12 while Rome Odunze is off Week 7. If you are deciding between the two as a season-long roster hold, the staggered byes actually work in your favor.
