Scouting report

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

Week 15 vs. New Orleans Saints

D.J. Moore only gained 67 yards last week against the Browns, but he caught five balls and was targeted eight times. Moore has emerged as the primary target in the passing game, as the Panthers have emphasized speed in their offense with the young trio of Moore, Christian McCaffrey and Curtis Samuel. Moore’s long-term fantasy potential looks great right now.

This week, Moore faces a Saints defense that has allowed the most fantasy points in the league to opposing wide receivers this year. Fantasy owners should be a little wary about a potential matchup with cornerback Marshon Lattimore, but in a game that could be a shootout, he should be considered a potential WR2 in all leagues.

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

Week 14 at Cleveland Browns

D.J. Moore has had his ups and downs this season, including only gaining 44 yards on four receptions last week against a vulnerable Buccaneers defense. However, Moore has had at least eight targets in three straight games and is starting to emerge as the top receiving option in Carolina. Fantasy owners should add him in all league formats at least as a bench option.

This week, Moore faces a Browns defense that has allowed the eighth-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this year, including giving up 12 touchdowns to the position. While he may draw some tough coverage against Denzel Ward if he clears concussion protocol, Moore should still provide high upside for fantasy owners willing to take a chance on him. He should be considered a decent WR3 option in most leagues.

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

Week 13 at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

D.J. Moore has stepped up as Devin Funchess has battled injuries, catching 15 passes over the last two weeks for a combined 248 yards and a touchdown. Moore is flashing the ability he showed as the primary target in Maryland and is proving the Panthers were wise to select him in the first round of the draft in April.

This week, Moore has tremendous upside against a Buccaneers team that has allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to the wide receiver position this year. Additionally, the Buccaneers have a good enough offense to keep things interesting, opening up the potential for a shootout. We have Moore as a viable WR2 this week, and he’s worth starting in all formats.

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

Week 12 vs. Seattle Seahawks

D.J. Moore had the best game of his young career against the Lions last week, catching seven balls for 157 yards and a touchdown, including an 82-yard reception in the third quarter that set the Panthers up for a missed field goal. Moore has been flirting with fantasy relevance all season, and it was good to see a glimpse of his future value.

This week, Moore may struggle to follow up his breakout performance against the Seahawks. Seattle has been above average against wide receivers this year and they seem to be getting more and more comfortable each week as they attempt a playoff push to close out the season. Moore has upside, but he’s still too risky to count on as more than a boom-or-bust WR3 option.

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

Week 11 at Detroit Lions

D.J. Moore had another disappointing game last week with only 20 yards on five receptions. He was targeted five times, which was encouraging, but until he shows consistent production, it’s hard to trust him. He faces a Lions defense this week that was just torched by the Bears, but has actually been above average against wide receivers this year, allowing 34.1 total fantasy points per game to the position. While Moore has some quick-strike potential this week – only the Raiders allow more yards per attempt than Detroit – it’s too risky to have him active in most leagues.

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

Week 10 at Pittsburgh Steelers

D.J. Moore had a disappointing game against the Buccaneers last week, posting only one catch on two targets for 16 yards. He did have a 32-yard run, but in a great matchup following three straight games with five or more targets, it was frustrating for fantasy owners hoping he’d arrived.

This week, Moore is a risky option despite a nice matchup against the Steelers. Pittsburgh has allowed 11 touchdowns to the wide receiver position so far this year, although they rank fifth in yards allowed per pass attempt – meaning teams generally do their damage against them in short and intermediate routes. That doesn’t help Moore’s chances for big plays. Moore has some upside, but he’s a boom-bust option and should only be considered as a desperation starter in large leagues.

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

Week 9 vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

D.J. Moore had a great game last week against the Ravens, catching five passes for 90 yards and adding 39 more yards on the ground. It was the best game of the season for the rookie out of Maryland, and a great sign for the Panthers offense and for fantasy owners who have been stashing him away all year.

This week, Moore has a good chance to follow up his breakout game with another nice outing. The Buccaneers have been a sieve on defense, allowing the second-most fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers this year, and giving up a league-high 33.3 points per game to opposing offenses. Moore is risky as a rookie with only one really good game under his belt, but as a high risk, high reward option in deep leagues, he could really pan out for fantasy owners willing to gamble.
