Khalil Shakir remains sidelined with an undisclosed injury, creating legitimate concern for fantasy managers entering draft week. Do not panic and completely fade a technician who posted a 52.4-percent Route Win Rate (WR10) and generated 2.12 yards of Target Separation (WR7) as Josh Allen‘s high-efficiency safety valve.
We’ll monitor the practice reports. While Shakir has a high-floor profile, D.J. Moore and Dalton Kincaid would be the primary beneficiaries if Shakir misses Week 1.
The Carolina Panthers exercised the fifth-year option for the 2022 season on the contract of wide receiver D.J. Moore on Thursday. This doesn't come as a surprise. Moore just recently turned 24 years old and has put up back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons for the team in just his third year in the NFL. ...
Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore is a great WR2 for Week 17 against the Saints. Moore has seen at least seven targets in the past five games and has gotten at least 96 yards in three of the past five games. The Saints are middle-tier against fantasy WRs, so Moore is a fine start this week...
Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore compiled six receptions for 131 yards on eight targets in Week 15. The WR now has at least seven targets in the past four games and at least 96 yards in three of the past four games. With solid numbers as of late, Moore is a terrific starter in the ...
Keon Coleman scored the inaugural touchdown at the Buffalo Bills’ new venue over the weekend, but arrived at Tuesday’s practice in a walking boot. Coleman pairs an elite 19.3 Breakout Age (83rd percentile) and a 128.7 Burst Score (82nd percentile) with a modest 4.61 40-Yard Dash (22nd percentile).
Any extended preseason absence for Coleman directly threatens his route participation and target share in Buffalo’s offense, stalling what was already a unlikely Year 3 breakout. Coleman is currently PlayerProfiler’s Dynasty WR122. A DJ Moore renaissance season is now as likely as ever.
DJ Moore admitted to early growing pains during Buffalo OTAs after managing just a 14.8-percent Target Share and 682 receiving yards with Chicago last season. The 29-year-old receiver now transitions to a Bills depth chart desperate for an alpha perimeter weapon, positioning him to command a substantial role under offensive coordinator Joe Brady.
If Moore captures the primary target volume from Josh Allen, Moore presents a stable WR3 floor with a clear path to returning to a 20-percent plus Target Share baseline. Moore is a nice value in all formats as the path is clear him to operate as Allen’s most productive receiving option since Stefon Diggs.
The Buffalo Bills just secured an additional weapon in Skyler Bell at No. 125, a 6-foot former Biletnikoff Award finalist who pairs a 4.40-second 40-yard dash with a 41-inch vertical that proves he has the explosiveness to win at all three levels. Bell had a 20.2 Breakout Age and a strong 39.0% College Dominator Rating (81st-percentile), providing the background of how he commanded a 33.0% Target Share while operating as a surgical chain-mover.
In dynasty formats, it is a good landing spot for Bell in a WR room that does not have a ton of competition outside of DJ Moore, who is the certified alpha of the room. Bell should be considered in the late rounds of rookie drafts.
Keon Coleman is currently fighting for scraps in a WR3 rotation with Josh Palmer while DJ Moore and Khalil Shakir soak up the actual high-value volume in Buffalo. The Bills are holding onto him for depth, but don’t get it twisted: the “Year 3 Breakout” is a fairy tale for a guy who hasn’t shown he can win consistently against NFL secondaries.
Coleman is effectively a roster-clogger masquerading as a prospect, and the opportunity metrics are screaming that his ceiling is permanently capped. Coleman is a classic “sell-low” candidate as his value is built on historical draft capital. Savvy dynasty managers are moving him for a mid-to-late rookie pick(s), or a more productive veteran, before the Bills inevitably draft his replacement and his market price hits zero.
Caleb Williams and D.J. Moore connect for two touchdowns in Week 12 as the Bears defeat the Steelers
After one catch in his last two games, D.J. Moore got involved in the offense, recording five receptions for 64 yards and two touchdowns. The 28-year-old has had an up-and-down season, averaging just over 10 points per game.
Moore led the Bears in receptions and receiving yards against the Steelers. His second touchdown was a 25-yard reception that gave the Bears a 24-21 lead. With his sporadic usage, Moore should still be used only as a flex option moving forward.
