The 2023 regular season season is almost here. That means fantasy players have less than a month to complete all of their fantasy football drafts.
One of the toughest decisions fantasy players have to make every year is deciding between two similar options. Since fantasy players can’t possibly draft both guys, they must make the hard decision on which player to pick.
Today we look at whether fantasy players should draft DJ Moore or Jerry Jeudy.

Should I Draft DJ Moore?
Moore received a significant boost in fantasy value this offseason after the Carolina Panthers traded the star wide receivers to the Chicago Bears. The former Maryland star has played with several subpar quarterbacks in Carolina. Yet, he has been a consistent WR2 for fantasy players.
The veteran wide receiver has totaled at least 1,150 receiving yards or seven touchdowns in four consecutive years. More importantly, Moore will be the No. 1 wide receiver on an up-and-coming offense led by Justin Fields. The former Maryland star had a strong start as a Bear, scoring a 62-yard touchdown in the team’s Week 1 preseason matchup.
According to the RotoBaller ADP, Moore is a fifth-round pick in 12-team leagues and the 23rd wide receiver off the board. Last year the star wide receiver finished as the WR22, averaging 9.9 half-point PPR fantasy points per game despite playing with four quarterbacks.
Should I Draft Jerry Jeudy?
Last year the Denver Broncos had high expectations for their offense after trading for Russell Wilson. Unfortunately, the veteran quarterback had the worst year of his career, throwing only 16 touchdowns, a career low. However, six of those touchdowns went to Jeudy.
The former Alabama wide receiver was the WR21 last season, averaging 11.4 half-point PPR fantasy points per game, a career-high. Furthermore, he set career highs in receptions (67), targets (100), receiving yards (972), and touchdowns (six).
According to the RotoBaller ADP, Jeudy is a late fourth-round pick in 12-team leagues and the 20th wide receiver off the board. Meanwhile, he has built a strong connection with Wilson, scoring a touchdown in Denver’s Week 1 preseason matchup.
Who Should I Draft?
Both wide receivers are excellent options this year. They have improved situations from a year ago and are the No. 1 target in the passing game. However, I give a slight edge to Moore. After putting up WR2 numbers with poor quarterbacks, no one should be surprised if he has the first career top-10 finish this season.
