DJ Moore vs Xavier Worthy: Who Should You Start?
DJ Moore and Xavier Worthy are both viable fantasy wide receivers heading into 2026, but their 2025 production tells two different stories. DJ Moore averaged 8.5 PPG across 17 games with the Buffalo Bills, while Xavier Worthy posted 6.3 PPG in 14 appearances for the Kansas City Chiefs.
A 2.2-PPG gap gives DJ Moore the edge on paper, but paper does not account for Thursday night matchups, weather games, or a star defender returning from injury. The real question is not who was better in 2025, but who is the better start this specific week.
Both are workload receivers with similar target shares. DJ Moore turned 85 targets into 682 yards and 6 touchdowns, while Xavier Worthy converted 73 looks into 532 yards and 1 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 Xavier Worthy Week 6. 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.
