Scouting report

CAR WR D.J. Moore - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at Green Bay Packers

D.J. Moore missed last game against the Broncos, but there's a chance he could return this week. He was coming off three straight games with double-digit PPR points before missing last week’s contest, so if he’s active, he should be considered a viable WR2 option in most weeks.

If Moore does return, he’ll face a Packers defense that ranks sixth in aFPA to opposing wide receivers. Watch the injury report carefully, but as long as he starts – and we don’t get the “emergency” vibe we got from Jamison Crowder last week – he should be active. Temper expectations in a tough matchup, but he should still be used enough to put up borderline WR2 numbers.

CAR WR D.J. Moore - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at Minnesota Vikings

D.J. Moore had a great game against the Lions last week, catching seven of the 11 balls thrown his way for 127 yards. He also added 21 yards on the ground. Moore now has two solid games in a row after two disappointing preceding outings. It was good to see him produce with P.J. Walker as well as Teddy Bridgewater, giving him upside regardless of who is behind center.

This week, Moore faces a Vikings defense that ranks 14th in aFPA to opposing wide receivers. With Moore’s recent targets, it’s hard not to like him in a fair enough matchup. The Panthers offense has been lucrative for fantasy owners, and we have Moore ranked as a WR2 option this week.

CAR WR D.J. Moore - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs. Detroit Lions

D.J. Moore had a nice game against the Buccaneers last week, catching four of the seven balls thrown his way for 96 yards and a touchdown. Moore has been inconsistent in his production this season, but has also put together some very solid games. While he only has one game over 100 yards, he has four touchdowns – already as many as he had all of last season – and is averaging 6.9 targets per game. There is upside each week for Moore to produce.

This week, Moore faces a Lions defense that ranks 15th in aFPA to opposing wide receivers. Teddy Bridgewater is nicked up, so if he missed the game, push Moore down to fringe WR2 territory, but he should be a solid WR2 if Teddy suits up in a pretty good matchup.

CAR WR D.J. Moore - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Since D.J. Moore’s two-touchdown game against the Saints three games ago, he has just four catches and 73 total yards. Moore has been wildly inconsistent as a fantasy option, although he’s still averaging 6.9 targets per game. He also has the ability to make big plays, as evidenced by three games with catches over 40 yards this season. Still, the inconsistency is concerning, particularly when Robby Anderson and Curtis Samuel are getting significant targets.

This week, Moore faces a Buccaneers defense that ranks 12th in aFPA to opposing wide receivers. It’d be nice to assume Moore will continue to get his 6.9 targets, but it’s been so spotty lately, making it risky to bank on him in a tough matchup. He’s a risky WR3 option this week.

CAR WR D.J. Moore - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 at Kansas City Chiefs

D.J. Moore had just two catches last week for 55 yards, but he was targeted six times. Moore leads the team in touchdown receptions this season after so few last year, but the problem is, that’s still only three. Moore needs to be more consistent in order to inspire confidence from fantasy owners, but he gets just enough volume and has enough talent to be a viable starter each week.

This week, Moore faces a Chiefs defense that ranks seventh in aFPA to opposing wide receivers. Still, the Chiefs should keep the Panthers throwing, so inflate the value of all the Carolina wide receivers this week, including starting Moore as a WR2.

CAR WR D.J. Moore - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. Atlanta Falcons

D.J. Moore had four catches for 93 yards and a pair of touchdowns against the Saints last week. It was his second and third touchdown of the season, and included an early 74-yarder. While big plays are nice to see, Moore only had five targets. That being said, he’s still averaging 7.5 targets per game on the season, so usage shouldn’t be a problem for him.

Moore has a great matchup against the Falcons this week. He just scored a touchdown against them three games ago, and they rank 22nd in aFPA to opposing wide receivers. Expect another pass-happy outing involving the Falcons and for the entire Carolina passing game to benefit from it. Moore is a solid WR1 this week.

CAR WR D.J. Moore - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at New Orleans Saints

D.J. Moore was targeted a team-high 11 times last week against the Bears, catching five balls for 93 yards in the process. The Panthers are using him and Robby Anderson consistently in the passing game, with each averaging at least eight targets per game. Moore has only put together three double-digit PPR points this year, despite the heavy targets, making it hard to trust him as more than a WR2 option in most weeks.

Moore crushed the Saints last year in the only time he was active against them, catching six balls for 126 yards and a pair of touchdowns. This year, the Saints rank 18th in aFPA to opposing wide receivers, so Moore should be able to produce if he continues his heavy targets. In a decent matchup where the game script should favor Carolina throwing the ball, we have Moore ranked just inside the top-20, as a WR2.
