It’s no secret the Jets’ wide receivers weren’t happy with how they were being used (or targeted) with Wilson at quarterback. Things changed with White against the Bears, who admittedly had a secondary decimated by injuries. Elijah Moore, whose story of displeasure has been well-told by now, even got involved. Garrett Wilson was targeted early and often and finished with five catches for 95 yards and two touchdowns.

The story pointed out Wilson has scored four touchdowns this season, none thrown by Zach Wilson. Moore had only two targets, but they were good ones: a 42-yard catch-and-run in the second quarter, and a 22-yard touchdown in the third quarter. The story also speculated that with Davis (one catch, 9 yards) back in the lineup, the Jets look loaded at wide receiver — and maybe White is the right quarterback to get them the ball when they’re open.

Jets HC Robert Saleh confirmed they’re moving WR Elijah Moore to the slot.

The tweet went on to say Saleh added, "it’s a new position because we’ve been playing him outside for the most part." Saleh added the team is trying to find ways to utilize his strengths. Esden Jr. said in another tweet this is a big deal, because Moore did his best work in college from the slot. The Jets wanted to make him an outside guy that occasionally did some slot stuff, but they're flipping this and it works because Garrett Wilson is flashing on the outside. Those still holding Moore may want to hang on to him to see if this move works, and those needing WR help with a roster spot open could potentially also take a chance and claim him off waivers.

Jets’ head coach Robert Saleh said WR Corey Davis will miss Sunday's game, and WR Elijah Moore will play.

Corey Davis had cut out a decent niche inside the Jets' offense and was operating as a fantasy WR3 before being limited in Week 7's game against the Broncos. His departure in that game led to season-high snaps out wide for both Garrett Wilson and Jeff Smith. While the return of Elijah Moore could push Smith back into more of a rotational role, Wilson's usage should be secure as he continues to gel with quarterback Zach Wilson. Garrett and Moore should be considered Flex options heading into their Week 8 game against the Patriots.

WR Elijah Moore returned to the Jets team facility on Monday, and coach Robert Saleh expects him to be active for Sunday's game against the Patriots. Moore was excused from the team last week following his trade request.

You can follow whichever narrative you'd like; either the team attempts to placate Moore by involving him more in the offense, or they could simply keep him on the bench and incorporate other receivers in their fledgling passing offense. However you see the situation playing out, he's best kept on fantasy benches in Week 8, at the least.

Jets coach Robert Saleh says WR Elijah Moore won’t play Sunday. Says trade request is “part of what we deal with every day.” They will not trade him.

Saleh would go on to say he "doesn't think it's fair to ask him to play considering his mental state right now." Tough scene. Teammate Denzel Mims has been practicing at Moore's "X" spot, which could give him an opportunity to take advantage of the absence. Mims hasn't logged a snap in 2022 and has 31 receptions on his resume since being drafted in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft.

Jets WR Elijah Moore, frustrated with his role and usage, has asked for a trade. The team has no plans at all to trade him.

The news comes as a shock until you look at Moore's usage since the return of Zach Wilson, including back-to-back season-lows in routes run and six combined targets in three games. Moore was almost fantasy relevant through three weeks, coming in as the overall WR64 before Wilson's return. Since then, he has scored 8.6 half-PPR points, clocking in as the WR86.

Denzel Mims has requested a trade from the Jets, per his agent.

We have Mims buried on the depth chart behind Moore, Wilson, Davis and Berrios. Mims has likely just fallen out of favor with a coaching staff that didn't draft him and his ceiling with the Jets seems to be a WR3 if he can pass Davis and Berrios. He'll likely have some interested teams but his landing spot will go a long way in determining his new fantasy value.

Elijah Moore continues to be one of the Jets’ stars of training camp, no matter who is throwing him the ball. He seems to make at least one big play every practice.

If it was in question, Moore seems to have firmly established himself as this team’s No. 1 receiver. He’s in line for a big year.

The story said on Tuesday, his best catch was on a back shoulder throw from Joe Flacco during 7-on-7 when Moore had to come back to the ball and caught it with one arm. Overall the signs are surely there, he had a great start to camp last year and flashed in the middle of the season before getting hurt. We rank Moore 40th among our WRs, but he could end up being a steal in the middle rounds of drafts.

The New York Jets will be without RB Tevin Coleman (concussion) for Week 14's game against the New Orleans Saints. WR Elijah Moore (quad) is questionable.

Coleman has missed majority of 2021 for a myriad of injuries. Moore could be in line for another strong game against a passive Saints secondary so long as he can manage his quad injury.
