CAR WR D.J. Moore - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 at Green Bay Packers

D.J. Moore had a nice game last week against the Titans, catching seven of the 10 balls thrown his way for 101 yards. Moore is averaging 9.25 targets over his last four games and seems to have built a nice rapport with quarterback Kyle Allen, which bodes well for a final stretch during which the Panthers face the horrible Atlanta Falcons pass defense twice. Moore is worth buying now if you can get him.

This week, Moore faces a Packers defense that just held Keenan Allen to 40 yards a week ago and ranks ninth in aFPA to opposing wide receivers this year. Moore still has upside as a heavily targeted option in the Panthers’ passing attack, and he should be featured if the Packers run the score up and keep Carolina throwing, but expecting more than low-end WR2 numbers from him might be a stretch in most fantasy leagues.

CAR WR D.J. Moore - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 vs. Tennessee Titans

D.J. Moore gained only 38 yards last week in a tough matchup against the 49ers, but he was targeted nine times and caught five passes, making it three straight games with at least five receptions. This is a good sign for a player who was targeted only seven times during quarterback Kyle Allen’s first two starts of this season, as the rapport between Allen and Moore grows.

This week, Moore faces a Titans defense that gave up 11 catches, 198 yards and two touchdowns to Mike Evans last week despite ranking 10th in aFPA to opposing wide receivers. Expect Moore to be heavily targeted again this week, giving him upside if he can exploit the same holes Evans found a week ago. He’s a fringe WR2/WR3 option this week.

CAR WR D.J. Moore - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 at San Francisco 49ers

After only seven targets in Kyle Allen’s first two starts, D.J. Moore has 17 over his last two, including 10 against the Buccaneers before the bye last week. Moore ended up with seven receptions and 73 yards, but it was his second consecutive double-digit PPR performance and he remains the top wide receiver on the roster, playing 91% of the team’s offensive snaps.

This week probably isn’t the best time to trust Moore however. The 49ers are the top defense in the league in aFPA to opposing wide receivers and have allowed only five passing touchdowns all season. Fantasy owners should look elsewhere if possible.

CAR WR D.J. Moore - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (London Game)

After only seven targets total in the two prior games, D.J. Moore was targeted eight times last week against the Jaguars. He finished with six catches and 91 yards, a decent outing in a much-needed Panthers victory. Moore has yet to have 100 yards receiving this year, but he leads the team in receiving yards and is second only to Christian McCaffrey in receptions and targets.

This week, Moore faces a Tampa Bay defense that has struggled against the pass. Only the Eagles and the Falcons rank lower than the Buccaneers in aFPA to opposing wide receivers. He caught nine balls for 89 yards against the Bucs back in Week 2 and he’ll look to build on that performance this week. Fantasy owners should consider him a high-end WR3 this week in what should be a great matchup in England.

CAR WR D.J. Moore - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 vs. Jacksonville Jaguars

D.J. Moore caught three of the five balls thrown his way last week for 44 yards. Moore has been disappointing overall, despite a touchdown against the Cardinals in Week 3, and it’s concerning to see his targets go from 24 in two games with Cam Newton at the helm to seven in two games with Kyle Allen at quarterback. Still, Moore is talented and still has upside for the rest of the season and it’s too early to panic.

The Jaguars have a great defense but have actually allowed the eighth-most aFPA to opposing wide receivers this season. That’s a little skewed due to huge numbers allowed to the Chiefs in Week 1, but with Jalen Ramsey a question mark, there’s some upside in the Carolina receiving corps. It’s risky to trust him, but fantasy owners in deep leagues could gamble on him as a WR3 option.

CAR WR D.J. Moore - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at Houston Texans

D.J. Moore had a 52-yard touchdown last week against the Cardinals, but he was targeted only twice on the day after totaling 26 targets over the first two games of the season. The target-reduction coming after a quarterback change is concerning, with Kyle Allen set to make another start in relief of the injured Cam Newton. That being said, Moore was targeted eight times in the season-finale last year – Allen’s last start – so it’s too soon to panic.

This week, Moore faces a Texans defense that has given up the fifth-most aFPA to the wide receiver position so far this season, and they were torched by Keenan Allen last week to the tune of 13 catches, 183 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Moore isn’t Keenan Allen by any means, but he has tremendous rebound potential in what should be a good matchup. Start him as a WR2 in all leagues.

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

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.
