Moore is Fanelli's Round 5 value pick at ADP 56.5. Despite never playing with an elite quarterback, Moore has been productive, averaging 14 or more PPR fantasy points per game in five of seven seasons since his rookie year despite never being a high touchdown scorer. The Bills have lacked a go-to wide receiver since Stefon Diggs was traded; Diggs finished as the WR9 in his final season in Buffalo, averaging 9.4 targets and 16.1 fantasy points per game. Moore could have similar success with Josh Allen under center.

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.

Moore finally gets to play with an elite quarterback in Josh Allen after years with subpar signal-callers. He has averaged 14 or more PPR fantasy points per game in five of seven seasons since his rookie year despite never being an elite touchdown scorer. The Bills have lacked a go-to wide receiver since Stefon Diggs was traded; Diggs finished as WR9 in his final Buffalo season, averaging 9.4 targets and 16.1 fantasy points per game. The source projects Moore could have similar success with Allen under center. ADP is 54.5 (WR28).

D.J. Moore sank to WR41 in fantasy points per game last season in Chicago but has been traded to Buffalo as Josh Allen's new WR1. While his 2025 metrics were poor (14.3% target share, 1.33 yards per route run, 17.5% first-read share, 0.063 first downs per route run), the source notes that Joe Brady's previous experience with Moore and Buffalo's belief in his ability to return to form are supported by Moore's deeper analytics. As a perimeter receiver (which he'll play more than the 65% of snaps last year), Moore ranked 36th in separation and 29th in route win rate among 109 receivers—metrics that improve significantly in that role. The source projects Moore as 'a nice bounceback candidate this season as a WR2/3 with upside for much more.'

Joe Brady argues DJ Moore's arrival in Buffalo is not comparable to Stefon Diggs' arrival before the 2020 season. Moore just turned 29 years old in mid-April, while Diggs was 27 when he joined the Bills. Diggs was coming off a hyper-efficient 2019 season, while Moore's final season in Chicago was lousy. Moore's production cratered in Caleb Williams' putrid rookie season, and Williams didn't do Moore any favors in his breakout sophomore season either. Fantasy Points credited Moore with 97 targets in 2025, and 19 of them (19.6%) were deemed uncatchable. Among 38 quarterbacks with at least 200 dropbacks in 2025, Williams was 31st in off-target throw percentage (19%) and 31st in catchable throw percentage (69.1%). Meanwhile, Allen was 11th in off-target throw percentage (14.8%) and first in catchable throw percentage (79.8%). Moore can rebound after back-to-back disappointing seasons with a change of scenery to a more accurate quarterback, but the comparison to Diggs is flawed.

DJ Moore gets to play with Josh Allen in 2026 after years of dealing with subpar quarterbacks. He has been productive, averaging 14+ PPR fantasy points per game in five out of seven seasons since his rookie campaign despite never being an elite touchdown scorer. At ADP 65.9 (WR26), Moore could have similar success to Stefon Diggs' final season in Buffalo (WR9, 9.4 targets, 16.1 PPG), as the Bills have lacked a go-to wide receiver since Diggs was traded.
