Chicago Bears wide receiver D.J. Moore is a Fantasy Football Must-Start
In the last four games, Chicago Bears wide receiver D.J. Moore has accumulated an impressive 506 yards on 25 catches. This performance makes him one of my top must-start wide receivers for Week 6 in fantasy football.

- and more…
Make sure to start all of my must-start options who are ranked within the Top 24. This applies to leagues with at least 12 teams. On the other hand, wide receivers from the Green Bay Packers and Pittsburgh Steelers should be benched or dropped due to their Week 6 byes.
D.J. Moore: The Must-Start WR1
D.J. Moore has proven to be a must-start wide receiver in fantasy football. In Week 5, Moore showcased his skills by scoring 230 yards and three touchdowns, earning him the title of top fantasy football wide receiver of the week. He has consistently been one of the best fantasy football options in recent weeks and is currently ranked in the Top 5 for season-long play in terms of points per game.
For Week 6, Moore is ranked at No. 8. The Chicago Bears will be facing the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, and the Vikings have been quite vulnerable in terms of defense against wide receivers. They have allowed a league-high 1,048 yards, tied for the third-most receiving touchdowns (six), and have given up the fifth-most fantasy points to wide receivers in the first five weeks. With Bears quarterback Justin Fields and Moore’s strong connection, they are expected to remain hot against this weak secondary. Therefore, Moore should definitely be started as a WR1.
Jordan Addison: A Solid Option in the Absence of Justin Jefferson
Jordan Addison is expected to receive an increase in workload for Week 6 due to the absence of Vikings star wide receiver Justin Jefferson. Addison has already scored in three out of five games this season, and he lands at No. 11 in my Week 6 rankings. He can be confidently plugged in as a low-end WR1 or high-end WR2.
In their upcoming matchup against the Bears, the Vikings have a favorable chance of succeeding. In Week 5, Commanders quarterback Sam Howell threw for 388 yards against the Bears, and Commanders wide receiver Curtis Samuel also had a productive game with six catches for 65 yards and a score. The Bears have tied for allowing the third-most receiving touchdowns (six) to wide receivers this season. With Jefferson out, Addison is expected to draw at least 10 targets and achieve at least 100 yards, making him a valuable player for fantasy purposes.
Garrett Wilson: Targeted Wide Receiver Against the Philadelphia Eagles
Garrett Wilson, the New York Jets wide receiver, may have only scored twice this season, but he remains a heavily targeted player within the Jets offense. Over his last three appearances, Wilson has averaged 10 targets per game. In Week 6, the Jets will face the Philadelphia Eagles, who have a tough run defense but have been generous to opposing wide receivers.
The Eagles have allowed a league-high 137 targets, the second-most catches (83) and touchdowns (8), and the third-most fantasy points to wide receivers. In Week 5, they gave up seven catches for 71 yards and a score to Puka Nacua and eight catches for 118 yards to Cooper Kupp. With the expectation that the Jets’ running game will be shut down by the Eagles’ defense, the Jets will likely rely more on their passing game, making Wilson the top target for quarterback Zach Wilson. Therefore, Wilson should be plugged in as a low-end WR2 or high-end WR3, with expectations of at least eight catches for 80 yards.
Drake London: A Surprising Value in Fantasy Football
Drake London, the wide receiver for the Atlanta Falcons, may have initially seemed like a fantasy bust earlier this season, but he has certainly turned things around in the last four weeks. He has scored in two out of these four games, and he consistently receives at least six targets per game. In Week 5, London had his best performance yet with six catches for 68 yards on nine targets.
For Week 6, the Falcons will face the Commanders. The Commanders have allowed a league-high nine receiving touchdowns, the second-most receiving yards (1,032), and a significant amount of fantasy points to wide receivers throughout the first five games. They recently gave up a stellar performance to D.J. Moore and surrendered 175 yards and two scores to A.J. Brown in Week 4, 111 yards to Stefon Diggs in Week 3, and 113 yards and a score to Marvin Mims Jr. in Week 2. Expect Drake London, ranked No. 24, to continue to provide solid value to fantasy managers.
Take these rankings and recommendations into consideration when setting your lineup for Week 6, as they can greatly impact your chances of success in fantasy football.
