Scouting report

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.

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

Week 12 at New Orleans Saints

Another game, another nice performance from D.J. Moore spoiled by the lack of a touchdown. Moore has double-digit targets in four of his last five games and is tied for eighth in the league with 62 receptions this season. He’s the primary target in the Carolina passing game and should continue to be heavily featured moving forward. At some point, the lack of touchdowns is bound to change.

This week, Moore has a tough matchup against the Saints, who rank third in aFPA to opposing wide receivers. However, with the likelihood that the Saints will keep the Panthers throwing the ball and his volume of targets over the last five games particularly, Moore has a high floor and should be considered a quality WR2 option, especially in PPR leagues. Start him.

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

Week 11 vs. Atlanta Falcons

If D.J. Moore could find the end zone, we’d all be talking about him having a breakout season. He’s currently on pace for 96 catches and 1,216 yards, but he’s scored only one touchdown all year. Last week, he caught nine balls for 120 yards and was targeted a team-high 11 times. He has at least eight targets in all but two games this season, and it seems like his lack of end zone production is bound to turn around at some point. Only Odell Beckham Jr. and Tyler Boyd have more targets with a single touchdown this season.

This week, Moore has a pretty good chance to break that trend. The Falcons rank 28th in aFPA to opposing wide receivers and have allowed the sixth-most passing touchdowns this season. Expect both teams to throw the ball and for Moore to put up borderline WR1 numbers in a great matchup.
