Moore's coordinator reunion misleading; new team runs 100+ fewer passes per season.

D.J. MooreWR

Moore is being framed as a safe pick because he's reuniting with a former offensive coordinator, but that framing doesn't hold up under scrutiny. His new team has posted back-to-back seasons with fewer than 500 total pass attempts under this coordinator, a deliberate scheme choice rather than a fluke, dating back to a specific point when he took over play-calling. Some have compared this reunion to a receiver who thrived under the same coordinator years earlier, but that comparison doesn't actually apply, since that earlier volume predates this coordinator's arrival entirely. The starting quarterback is talented enough to throw 40 times for 300 yards in a given week if needed, but the offense simply isn't asking him to on most weeks. The core issue is that Moore's usage in his previous situation doesn't translate to his new one. His old team was an objectively bad offense during that coordinator's tenure there, cycling through multiple shaky quarterbacks, and that dysfunction actually inflated the team's raw pass attempts, more than 100 additional attempts per season compared to what his new team has posted in either of the last two years under the same coordinator. In both of those higher-volume seasons, the team's top running back was also hurt, further funneling volume to the passing game in a way that doesn't parallel his new team's current run-first context. In one of those seasons, Moore was actually out-targeted by a teammate, undercutting the idea that he was ever a guaranteed target leader even in that higher-volume situation. The likely intent behind adding Moore is to upgrade the quality of the receiving corps, not to dramatically increase pass volume. Without that volume increase, the expectation is a mediocre, inconsistent week-to-week floor at his current cost around WR27, 60th overall.
