CAR WR D.J. Moore - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. Las Vegas Raiders

D.J. Moore is projected to have a breakout season this year, but the truth is he’s been broken out. He had a productive rookie season with 788 yards and then really came into his own last year with 87 catches and 1,175 yards. The problem with Moore is he has just six touchdowns over his first two seasons. He has some risk going into the year with a new offense and a new quarterback, but there’s very little reason to suspect Teddy Bridgewater won’t represent a significant upgrade over Kyle Allen last season. If Moore can find the end zone, he’ll catapult into the upper-echelon of wide receivers this season.

He gets a great start to the year, facing the Raiders, who ranked 26th in aFPA to opposing wide receivers last season and will be starting a rookie at corner in Damon Arnette. Moore should eat in this matchup and it’s a best-case scenario for the first game of the year. Fantasy owners should start him in all formats as a borderline WR1.

CAR WR D.J. Moore - 2020 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

D.J. Moore had a sort of breakout year in his sophomore season, putting up 1,175 yards on 87 receptions despite catching passes from Kyle Allen for the bulk of the season. Gone is Allen, and in comes Teddy Bridgewater, who should provide an upgrade, at least in efficiency. Moore’s ability to succeed with bad quarterback play dates back to his college days at Maryland, and it’s a testament to his talent. There’s reason to suspect he hasn’t shown just how good he can be with consistent play from under center.

Fantasy Downside

At some point, Moore is going to have to find the end zone if he’s going to continue to be considered a breakout candidate and a borderline WR1. He had just four touchdowns last season, the lowest among players finishing in the top-14 in receiving yards. He had only two during his rookie season as well. His teammate, Curtis Samuel, has scored 14 during that span, on 41 fewer touches. There are big expectations for Moore entering his third season, but he’ll need to find the end zone with more frequency if he’s going to enter into elite territory at his position.

2020 Bottom Line

Moore was ninth in yards and 15th in receptions last season, which are great numbers, but he carries risk at his current ADP. Being drafted in the late-third round of 12-team leagues, fantasy owners are expecting him to be the WR1 or WR2 for their rosters. Maybe Moore hits the numbers needed to warrant that kind of status, but we currently have him ranked about five receivers lower than where he’s being drafted, making him difficult to justify from a value perspective.

CAR WR D.J. Moore - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. New Orleans Saints

D.J. Moore suffered a concussion last week against the Colts. Even if he clears protocol and can play in the season finale, it’s hard to trust him with terrible quarterback play and coming off an injury. If he starts, he should get targets, so there’s upside there. And we have him ranked as a WR2 option if he does play. However, if you have a safer and healthier option available to you, you should look elsewhere. There’s too much uncertainty with his injury status to trust him during championship week.

CAR WR D.J. Moore - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at Indianapolis Colts

D.J. Moore had his fourth 100-yard receiving game of the season last week, catching eight balls for 113 yards in a loss against the Seahawks. Moore now has 1,174 yards, third in the league, and he’s tied for sixth with 86 receptions. His consistent targets give him a high floor each week and he seems to be getting better as the season progresses.

The Colts rank 24th in aFPA to the wide receiver position this year, so there’s some upside for Moore. The Panthers are starting Will Grier at quarterback for his first NFL start, so there’s some risk associated with him as well. Moore has shown he’s talented enough to produce with questionable quarterback play, however, so he should still be considered a fringe WR1 option in all formats in a good matchup.

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

Week 15 vs. Seattle Seahawks

D.J. Moore had another decent enough outing against the Falcons last week, catching four balls for 81 yards as the Panthers struggled offensively throughout the game. Moore eclipsed 1,000 yards last week on the season in just his second year, showing he has the potential to be a long-term WR1 for a team that may be heading into a year of transition following the firing of Head Coach Ron Rivera.

Moore should be active this week against the Seahawks, who rank 20th in aFPA to opposing wide receivers this year. Moore has averaged 9.3 targets per game this season, and if that continues against Seattle, he should have a high floor in all league formats. We have him ranked as a fringe WR1 this week. Start him.

CAR WR D.J. Moore - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 at Atlanta Falcons

After only one touchdown through the first 10 games of the season, D.J. Moore now has three over his last two, including one last week against Washington. It was a bitter defeat for the panthers that cost Ron Rivera his job, but Moore was targeted 12 times, catching six balls for 75 yards. He’s fourth in the league with 980 yards going into this week’s matchup and has been remarkably steady with double-digit PPR points in five straight games.

This week, he’ll face a Falcons team that ranks 24th in aFPA to opposing wide receivers this year. He had eight catches for 95 yards against them just three weeks ago, and he should once again be heavily targeted. Fantasy owners should start him as a WR1 option in all leagues.

CAR WR D.J. Moore - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs. Washington Redskins

D.J. Moore finally found the end zone last week against the Saints. After only scoring one touchdown through 11 weeks, Moore hit pay dirt twice on his way to six catches and 126 yards in a narrow loss on Sunday. Moore was targeted nine times and is averaging 9.4 targets per game this season. He’s been enjoying a breakout season that has largely gone under the radar due to his lack of touchdowns, but he may get more recognition now. He has double-digit PPR points in all but two games this season.

This week, Moore faces a Washington defense that ranks eighth in aFPA to opposing wide receivers, surprisingly high for a team that has struggled so much all season and is coming off their first victory. Still, as the key target in the offense, Moore should be considered a top-end fantasy receiver this week with a high floor due to his usage. Start him.
