DJ Moore vs Travis Hunter: The Full Breakdown

Deciding between DJ Moore and Travis Hunter is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The Chicago Bears wide receiver put up 8.7 PPG in 2025 over 17 games; Travis Hunter of the Jacksonville Jaguars averaged 7.1 in 7. A 1.6-point margin that could shift on any given week.

The per-game difference of 1.6 points favors DJ Moore, though savvy managers know that gap can shrink or widen depending on the weekly slate. Defensive matchup, recent scoring trends, and health status all shift the calculus from one wide receiver to the other.

Target volume is the story here. DJ Moore saw 85 targets in 2025, while Travis Hunter drew 45.
