Fantasy Football: 5 wide receivers to avoid starting in Week 11

4.) DJ Moore vs. Detroit Lions

The last three games for Chicago Bears’ wide receiver DJ Moore have not been his greatest stretch in terms of fantasy. While Moore was targeted 9 times last week against the Carolina Panthers, his overall production has dropped since his Week 5, 3-touchdown game against the Washington Commanders. He has only eclipsed double digit points once in the last weeks and now he will have to find a way to get going against the Detroit Lions. 

Justin Fields is expected to make his return back into the lineup which gives Moore a higher ceiling. However, the defense for the Lions (outside of their 41-38 win last week against the Chargers), has not given up a ton of big plays this season. Chicago’s offense is outmatched by Detroit’s defense which puts Moore in a tricky situation to be a playmaker in Week 11. If you plan on starting Moore, it may be best to put him in the flex spot or search for other options.
