Week 5 vs. San Francisco 49ers
D.J. Moore has had a really tough start to the year, as Baker Mayfield has struggled and the entire Carolina passing attack looks inept. The team tried to get Moore involved against the Cardinals last week, as he led the team with 11 targets. However, he was still held to just 50 yards on six receptions, adding another 11 yards on the ground.
This week, Moore faces a 49ers defense that ranks 15th in aFPA to opposing wide receivers. Expect him to continue to get targets, but on a team with so many issues and with Mayfield completing just 54.7% of his passes so far this year, it’s hard to trust any of the Carolina receivers. We have Moore ranked just outside WR3 territory this week.
