"Moore has emerged as one of the league's most reliable and consistent players, having missed only two games in his seven-year career while finishing each of the past six seasons as a top-25 fantasy receiver. Working in a crowded Chicago WR room with a rookie QB last season, Moore did see a dip in fantasy output (from ninth in PPG in 2023 to 28th in 2024), but he was still very productive, finishing ninth among WRs in targets and receptions. Moore did improve dramatically in the second half of the season (11.1 fantasy PPG during Weeks 1-10, but 17.3 in eight games once OC Shane Waldron was fired), which is notable as Ben Johnson takes over the offense. Entering his age-28 season, Moore is a fine WR2 target and a career year is very possible if Caleb Williams makes a Year 2 leap."

"The knee issue is a new concern for Moore, whose most recent appearance on a Bears injury report came back in Week 17, when he was battling an illness. After putting in a limited session Tuesday, Moore will have two more chances to potentially upgrade his practice activity and clear up any concern about his availability for Saturday's wild-card game versus the Packers. Moore suited up for all 17 of the Bears' games during the regular season, accounting for seven total touchdowns (six receiving, one rushing) while producing 682 yards on 50 catches and 79 yards on 15 rushing attempts."

"With Nico Collins getting held out of the game ahead of the playoffs, Hutchinson stepped up to lead the Texans in catches and receiving yards, tying his season high in receptions while setting new high-water marks for 2025 in yardage and targets. The third-year wideout finished the regular season with a career-best 35-428-3 line on 57 targets over 17 games, but he'll likely be a secondary option for C.J. Stroud in the wild-card round against the winner of Sunday night's AFC North clash between the Ravens and Steelers."

"Higgins was selected by Houston in the second round of April's draft. He is one of the biggest receivers in this class at 6-foot-4, 214 pounds with an 80-inch wingspan. He tested well athletically at the combine and his 2.86 career YPRR ranked third best in this WR class. He handled a big-time target share at Iowa State and was a machine at converting catches into first downs (class-best 74% rate). With Tank Dell a long shot to play in 2025, Higgins will compete with Christian Kirk, Xavier Hutchinson and fellow rookie Jaylin Noel for No. 2 duties opposite Nico Collins. Flex production is possible if he wins that gig, but a lot has to go right. He's best viewed as a late-round lottery ticket."

"Higgins caught both of his passes in the first half and had another long catch down the sideline called back on a penalty. The Texans then took a handful of starters out of the game in the second half after Nico Collins (rest) wasn't even active for the Week 18 contest. Higgins figures to operate as the Texans' WR2 in next weekend's wild-card date with the Steelers or Ravens."
