PositiveInjuryOct 31, 2026
Listed as questionable with a shoulder injury but limited practice participation all week; expected to play Sunday.PositiveProjectionOct 29, 2026
Moore is ranked WR15 and if healthy following the bye, he's Josh Allen's No. 1 WR who racked up fantasy-friendly downfield opportunities to open the season. The Ravens had zero answers for the Bengals' passing attack in the second half last week and now stand as the sixth-worst defense in PPR points per game allowed to wide receivers. The source loves Moore's potential to blow up in this spot.NegativeDepth ChartOct 28, 2026

DJ Moore aggravated his shoulder injury in Week 4, leading to reduced playing time and opening the door for Khalil Shakir to see increased snap share (76%) and route share (83%).NegativeInjuryOct 8, 2026
Moore aggravated his shoulder injury in Week 4, which led to Khalil Shakir taking on more playing time for the Bills.NegativeInjuryOct 7, 2026
Moore's shoulder injury continues to pop up, similar to Nabers' situation. However, unlike Nabers, Moore plays in an offense led by Josh Allen with awesome volume when healthy. This week's matchup against the Rams is not ideal—they haven't allowed a wide receiver to gain more than 50 yards in a game this season—but the source notes it is only Week 5 and there is significant scoring upside in a likely Monday night shootout.NegativeInjuryOct 6, 2026
Moore was unable to finish Sunday's game after aggravating his lingering shoulder injury, believed to be an AC sprain (separated shoulder). While the area can be padded and stabilized, the ligaments can be irritated if the injured athlete falls or receives direct contact. The Bills play Monday night, buying Moore an extra day of treatment. However, even if he can play, he will do so with an elevated degree of injury risk, and it might be safer to consider healthier options for the foreseeable future.NegativeInjuryOct 6, 2026

Moore aggravated his shoulder injury in the second quarter and missed the rest of the game. He played 82% of snaps before his exit, compared to 77% for Keon Coleman and 65% for Khalil Shakir.NegativeInjuryOct 5, 2026
Moore aggravated the shoulder injury that forced him out Week 2 and presumably will miss some time, opening volume opportunities for other Bills receivers.NegativeInjuryOct 5, 2026
Suffered a shoulder injury in Week 4 and exited in the first quarter. Managers who invested in Moore have now experienced similar early departures twice this season, representing particularly bad injury luck.PositiveInjuryOct 2, 2026
DJ Moore cleared to play this week after missing the previous game with a shoulder injury.PositiveMatchupOct 1, 2026
Slight lean recommendation based on New England's 27th-ranked receptions per game allowed to WR1s, indicating a favorable matchup for Moore in this week's game.NegativeMatchupSep 30, 2026
The Patriots have utilized man coverage on 29 percent of their defensive snaps this season. It is unfortunate for DJ Moore that he will have to deal with stud cornerback Christian Gonzalez in man coverage, limiting his upside.PositiveMatchupSep 30, 2026
DJ Moore is the primary focus of New England cornerback Christian Gonzalez in Week 4, which should draw coverage away from other Buffalo receivers like Khalil Shakir and create secondary opportunities in the passing game.NegativeProjectionSep 30, 2026
Mentioned as a comparable WR in the WR21 tier range if Justin Jefferson is unable to play in Week 4.NegativeMatchupSep 30, 2026
Moore has 274 unrealized air yards, second-most in the NFL behind only Matthew Golden, and was knocked out early in the Bills' Week 2 win over the Lions. The concern this week is a potential shadow matchup with Patriots CB Christian Gonzalez, who shadowed both DK Metcalf and Jaxon Smith-Njigba heavily. However, Gonzalez had only six total snaps in the slot against those two, while the Bills have aligned Moore in the slot, inline, or in the backfield on 24 percent of his snaps. The source concludes: 'Not ideal! A better matchup would have Moore at the top of this tier.'NegativeInjurySep 30, 2026

Remains limited by shoulder injury heading into Week 4.PositiveUsageSep 28, 2026
Moore dominated targets with 10 (38%) while handling snap (65%) and route (71%) shares in line with his Week 1 shares (75% snaps, 72% routes). He returned from a shoulder injury that caused him to miss Week 2, and his 33% target rate is second among WRs with 30-plus routes (JSN 40%), or fourth if dropping the minimum to 20 routes and including Zay Flowers (46%) and Puka Nacua (45%). Moore has 18 targets on 55 routes, a rate the source notes won't hold but is high enough to confirm his target rate will be vastly improved after last year's plunge. The source lists him in stock up.NegativeMatchupSep 28, 2026

Listed as truly questionable with a shoulder injury; if both DJ Moore and Keon Coleman sit out for Buffalo, it would open an every-down role for Joshua Palmer, who has scored long-distance TDs in each of the past two weeks.NegativeInjurySep 23, 2026
Moore has a realistic chance to suit up in Week 3 after suffering an AC joint sprain in his left shoulder against the Lions. The source notes this ranking 'could look low if DJM returns 100 percent healthy,' but cautions that Josh Allen threw 12 passes before sending one in Moore's direction last week. The source projects Moore as 'more of an upside WR2 than weekly top-10 option,' though he remains 'the de facto No. 1 WR of the NFL's top-ranked scoring offense.'NegativeInjurySep 23, 2026
DJ Moore is dealing with shoulder injury. If sidelined, backup Khalil Shakir would receive a boost, though Pat Surtain notes the boost would be modest.NegativeInjurySep 23, 2026
Moore suffered an AC joint sprain in his left shoulder against the Lions and has a realistic chance to suit up in Week 3. The source notes this ranking "could look low if DJM returns 100 percent healthy," though Josh Allen threw 12 passes before sending one in Moore's direction last week. Moore's volume is "more good than great" and makes him "more of an upside WR2 than weekly top-10 option," but he remains the de facto No. 1 WR of the NFL's top-ranked scoring offense.NegativeInjurySep 23, 2026

DJ Moore suffered a shoulder injury in Week 2 against the Lions. The injury is not considered serious, but his absence would elevate Khalil Shakir's fantasy value.PositiveInjurySep 18, 2026
Moore left with a shoulder injury in the second quarter and did not return. The Bills reportedly fear an AC joint sprain. His early exit and potential extended absence would open significant target volume for Keon Coleman, Khalil Shakir, and other Bills receivers.PositiveMatchupSep 17, 2026

Moore is listed as a downgrade option for Week 2, suggesting an unfavorable matchup against Detroit.NegativeMatchupSep 17, 2026
DJ Moore reached 100 receiving yards in Week 1 against Houston, but faces a slight fade against Detroit in Week 2. Detroit ranks tied-eighth in receptions per game allowed to WR1s in 2025, suggesting a tougher matchup for Moore's volume and production.PositiveProjectionSep 17, 2026
Moore topped 100 yards receiving in Week 1 as Buffalo's offense dominated an elite Texans defense, confirming his role as a primary target in the Bills' high-powered passing attack.PositiveMatchupSep 16, 2026
Moore is among the wide receivers with wheels up for favorable matchups in Week 2, facing the Lions who rank among the worst secondaries at containing WRs over the last 12 months.PositiveProjectionSep 16, 2026
Moore is ranked WR9 for Week 2 vs. DET on TNF. He was great in Week 1 (5-100-1) but left meat on the bone with 170 unrealized air yards, as Josh Allen repeatedly looked his way down the field and nearly had another long TD if not for a defensive pass interference penalty.PositiveMatchupSep 16, 2026

Moore is positioned to face the Lions, who are identified as one of the worst secondaries for containing WRs over the last 12 months, with wheels up for wide receivers facing the Lions.PositiveProjectionSep 16, 2026
Moore ranked WR9 for Week 2 vs. Detroit on Thursday Night Football. He posted 5-100-1 in Week 1 but left significant production on the field; nobody had more unrealized air yards (170) as Josh Allen repeatedly targeted him downfield and nearly connected on another long TD that was negated by defensive pass interference.NegativeUsageSep 14, 2026
Moore led all pass-catchers with 170 unrealized air yards in Week 1, indicating significant downfield incompletions; he also drew a 46-yard defensive pass interference penalty that likely would have been a 47-yard touchdown without the DPI, showing substantial missed opportunity despite productive box-score numbers.PositiveUsageSep 14, 2026
DJ Moore drew targets on 8 of 23 routes (72% route share, 35% TPRR) and put up 5-100-1 plus a long DPI call in the end zone. He played 80% of snaps before the fourth quarter, leading all Buffalo skill-position players. The only negative was missing five pass plays from 13 personnel when he wasn't on the field (Keon Coleman took seven of those snaps, Joshua Palmer three, Khalil Shakir two).PositiveUsageSep 14, 2026
Moore drew targets on eight of 23 routes (72% route share, 35% TPRR) and put up 5-100-1, plus he drew a long DPI call in the end zone. He played 80% of snaps before the fourth quarter, leading all Buffalo skill-position players. The only negative was that he played just nine of 21 snaps (43%) in 13 personnel, thereby missing out on five pass plays from 13 personnel. He appeared to get banged up toward the end of the game but came back in for at least one more snap afterward.PositiveProjectionSep 14, 2026
DJ Moore finished Week 1 with 100 yards and a touchdown against Houston, and the day could have been bigger with an underthrow on another likely score and two pass interference penalties drawn. The source argues Moore can produce at a top-10 wide receiver pace playing next to Josh Allen, closing the Bills' gap at outside receiver.NegativeMatchupSep 9, 2026
Trip to Houston presents arguably the worst wide receiver matchup in the league given Texans' elite coverage and pass-rushing combination; Moore is 29 years old coming off worst statistical season of his career despite finally playing in decent real-life offense; will see more volume in Buffalo but perhaps not significantly more; source was least favorite pick at ADP this summer.PositiveRoleSep 4, 2026
Moore's 2025 underperformance was a scheme mismatch rather than a talent decline; he now steps into a clear No. 1 role alongside Josh Allen, the league's best improviser at quarterback. Buffalo's defense projects to decline, which should increase volume for the entire passing game.PositiveProjectionSep 3, 2026
Has been a WR3-4 in terms of fantasy points and efficiency numbers the last two seasons; however, his list of career QBs is Andre Johnson-esque, and now he's the favorite to work as Josh Allen's No. 1 target, suggesting the source shouldn't overthink things.PositiveValueSep 3, 2026
Moore's 2025 season in Chicago (50 catches, 682 yards, 85 targets—his lowest since 2018) was a system problem, not a talent decline. His drop rate ranked in the bottom 4 percent of the league, meaning he caught almost everything sent his way. He is now Buffalo's clear No. 1 outside receiver. His ability to improvise on off-script plays fits Josh Allen's game as well as any receiver Allen has ever had, and Buffalo's defense projects to take a step back, which should push the offense into more overall passing volume. Jim Coventry says Moore was a square peg in Chicago's system, not a declining player, and should crush his current ADP of 56.6.PositiveValueAug 26, 2026
DJ Moore is undervalued at WR22 ADP despite his 2023 peak of 96 catches for 1,364 yards and nine total touchdowns; he scored at least 17 PPR points in six of his final 12 games last season. As Josh Allen's clear No. 1 receiver in Buffalo, his improvisation skill fits Allen's system exactly. Moore drops almost nothing (fourth percentile in drop rate), has little target competition, and has missed only one game to injury in his eight-year career. Buffalo's defense projects to decline with Sean McDermott gone, which could push the offense into more pass-heavy game scripts. Jim Coventry targets Moore because he was miscast in Ben Johnson's Chicago offense and Allen's system should let his talent play at a discount.NegativeBustAug 21, 2026
DJ Moore at ADP 60.15 (early 5th round) is a landmine. Never quite elite even at his best, he played in an above-average offense last season (Chicago) and didn't have much to show for it, accounting for only 17.1 percent of Chicago's receiving yards despite playing all 17 games, taking a backseat to Luther Burden and Colston Loveland after Rome Odunze's foot injury. The Bills finished 2025 atop the NFL in rush attempts, rushing yards, and rushing touchdowns, leading the league in first-down run rate by a mile. Moore isn't good enough to justify dramatic scheme adjustments; he'll spend significant time blocking and running clear-out routes to open space for superior players like Khalil Shakir, Dalton Kincaid, and potentially RB James Cook seeing more targets.PositiveValueAug 21, 2026
DJ Moore is ranked 52 on ESPN, which is significantly lower than his industry ADP; the source's inclusion in a value analysis suggests he represents positive value at his ESPN ranking.PositiveValueAug 19, 2026
Moore's move to Buffalo fixes what actually went wrong last season. His 50-catch, 682-yard season in Chicago came on just 85 targets, his lightest workload since 2018, and it was clearly a scheme fit issue rather than a talent issue. He's now Josh Allen's clear No. 1 outside receiver, and Moore's game—improvising and creating off structure—is built for exactly what Allen wants from a receiver. He posted 17 or more PPR points in six of his final 12 games last season even buried in a bad role, and he drops the ball less than almost anyone in the league. Buffalo's defense also projects to take a step back, which should push more volume through the passing game. Jim Coventry is planting his flag here: Moore is still a top-tier receiver, and this is one of the cleanest buy-low opportunities in fantasy this year.NegativeProjectionAug 17, 2026
Moore racked up a game-high 61 yards in preseason, though his 32-yard gain resulted from blown coverage. The source's case against Moore this draft season centers on him declining for consecutive seasons and the Bills whiffing on nearly every WR transaction since parting ways with Stefon Diggs. However, the source acknowledges that maybe Josh Allen's No. 1 WR will work out, and the mid-range WR3 ADP isn't egregious. Moore also suffered an ankle injury in the game that some learned doctors are concerned about.NegativeInjuryAug 17, 2026
Moore started for Buffalo and was productive, but had an injury scare during the game. Bills HC Joe Brady indicated Moore was "good" following the injury and didn't seem too worried, though the team will have to see from the medical.PositiveUsageAug 17, 2026
Was the headliner, catching three passes for 61 yards before coming up gimpy at the end of his final catch; didn't really have a chance to get back in the game as Keon Coleman scored on the next play and Buffalo's starters mostly rested thereafter. Bills HC Joe Brady indicated that he thought DJ Moore was "good" following his injury scare during the game, though he noted they'll have to see from the medical.PositiveRoleAug 14, 2026
DJ Moore (ADP 57) is expected to be featured in Josh Allen's offense, representing a situation upgrade that justifies his draft position despite his X receiver alignment concerns.NegativeProjectionAug 13, 2026
DJ Moore, who turned 29 in April, has racked up eight NFL seasons with his last two featuring far more downs than ups in efficiency and counting numbers. His yards per route run and PPR points per game have declined sharply over three seasons: 2023 (2.31 yards per route run, 15th among 59 WRs; 16.9 PPR points per game, WR9), 2024 (1.45 yards per route run, 43/54; 14 PPR points per game, WR27), 2025 (1.23 yards per route run, 44/47; 10 PPR points per game, WR44). While Moore moves from the crowded Bears attack to Josh Allen's No. 1 WR and reunites with former Panthers OC Joe Brady, the source leans toward the former bucket and notes it's a scary fade. The source ranks him 4/10 on the Washed Scale and notes the Bills' 'Everybody eats' mantra makes it unlikely they force-feed Moore even if he improves.
