Week 3 at Arizona Cardinals
D.J. Moore had nine receptions for 89 yards last week against the Buccaneers and he led the team with 14 targets. Moore hasn’t lit the world on fire, but with double-digit targets in each of his first two games, it’s clear he’s going to be a focal point of the Carolina passing game. Cam Newton’s health is concerning, but with Newton looking off-target and hesitant through two weeks so far, even if the Panthers need to turn to Kyle Allen, Moore should continue getting quality looks.
This week, Moore is a sneaky upside play against a Cardinals defense that’s still missing suspended cornerback Patrick Peterson. Arizona allowed eight catches and 86 yards to Marquise Brown last week and should be a good matchup for Moore. While most will be scared off by the quarterback situation in Carolina – whether Cam misses the game, or plays hurt – Moore should be in for a high floor after another target-heavy game. He’s a borderline WR2 this week.
