Draft note

by John Paulsen

Moore finished No. 21 in his second season and followed that up with a No. 18 finish in his third year, with Teddy Bridgewater at quarterback. After the Panthers traded Bridgewater away and brought in Sam Darnold, there are questions about Moore’s quarterback situation, but Moore produced solid fantasy WR2 numbers with mediocre numbers (3,733 yards, 15 touchdowns) from Bridgewater. Darnold should be able to produce similar (or better) numbers. Per Matt Harmon’s Reception Perception, Moore’s route-running really improved in 2020, so Moore is still an ascending talent. Robby Anderson may be the better value at his current ADP, but Moore is a quality fantasy WR2 going off the board in the fourth round.

Panthers WR Robby Anderson signs extension

Aug 24 · 3:08 PM EDT

Robby Anderson was scheduled to make $8 million in 2021, but with extension the Panthers added $4.5 million to this season to make his 2021 salary $12.5 million. He will get $13 million in 2022 and $12 million in 2023, per a league source.

Related players: D.J. Moore, Terrace Marshall

Fantasy Impact:

Anderson is coming off a big year in which he caught 95 balls for 1,096 yards and three TDs. Anderson will at least run second behind assumed WR1 Moore, but will also compete with rookie Terrance Marshall, who the team said will have a role this year. RB Christian McCaffrey is also a top target in the passing game, who was missing much of last year. But Anderson does have the benefit of working with Sam Darnold, who should be the QB starter. The two were together with the Jets. We rank Anderson 29th among our WRs.

CAR WR D.J. Moore - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 at Houston Texans

D.J. Moore found the end zone! It’s a rarity, but he had 79 yards and a touchdown on eight receptions last week against the Saints. Moore was also targeted a team-high 11 times and is clearly the favorite target for quarterback Sam Darnold. If the Panthers can be more productive in the red zone, Moore’s value could explode, and he’s off to a good start for the season.

This week, Moore faces a Texans defense that held the Browns’ wide receivers in check last week but gave up double-digit PPR points to all three Jaguars wide receivers in Week 1 – albeit in garbage time. Moore has a lot of upside in this offense and should be considered a viable WR2 option every week.
