Dan Williamson said D.J. Moore is mispriced at WR18 because his 2025 environment looks materially better than last year’s WR17 finish. He expects Moore to top the 140 targets he commanded in 2024 for three reasons: Ben Johnson’s arrival as head coach, a rebuilt offensive line that should lower Chicago’s league-worst sack rate, and the departure of target magnet Keenan Allen. Moore already provided four 20-plus-point spike weeks and a 10-point weekly floor, so even a modest efficiency bump under Johnson could turn him into a league-winner at current cost.

Ian Hartitz said he has dropped D.J. Moore all the way to WR21 because the arrows keep pointing the wrong direction. Hartitz rattled off a string of red flags: Bears beat writers reported Moore bad-mouthing Caleb Williams to teammates, Ben Johnson publicly challenged him to block harder, and 2024 film showed several "low-effort" snaps. Moore’s production also cratered from 84 receiving yards per game with Kyle Allen in Carolina to just 56 with Caleb despite similar target shares. Now first-rounder Rome Odunze and slot weapon Luther Burden are in the mix, creating the three-wide rotation Jake Ciely warned about earlier in the show. Hartitz still acknowledges Moore is Chicago’s most talented receiver, but between the locker-room smoke and real target competition he thinks ranking Moore inside the top-20 assumes too much sunshine. He will draft Moore only as a volatile WR3/FLEX until the situation stabilizes.
