Scouting report

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

Week 11 vs. Washington Football Team

D.J. Moore gained just 24 yards last week against the Cardinals in a lopsided Panthers victory. He did catch four balls and was targeted seven times, however, so fantasy managers shouldn’t worry too much about his lack of production. Still, this offense is tough to predict and the switch to Cam Newton isn’t certain to increase the productivity of the passing game.

This week, Moore has some upside against a Washington defense that ranks 31st in aFPA to opposing wide receivers. We have him ranked conservatively in the low-end WR2 range, given the struggles of this offense and the uncertainty around Cam Newton’s impact on the offense, but he should still be active as the WR1 in Carolina playing against a vulnerable secondary. Start him.

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

Week 10 at Arizona Cardinals

D.J. Moore has struggled along with the rest of the Panthers offense the last two weeks, and he had just 32 yards on three receptions against the Patriots last Sunday. He added 14 yards on the ground and was targeted seven times on the day, but quarterback Sam Darnold has done nothing to inspire confidence moving forward, and P.J. Walker is still - at best - an unknown.

This week, Moore faces a Cardinals defense that ranks 14th in aFPA to opposing wide receivers. While Moore’s target share and talent are both encouraging, until the Panthers have some solid quarterback play, it’s hard to bank on Moore as a legit WR1. We have him ranked as a low-end WR2 option this week, which is likely where he’ll stay until the Panthers figure out their passing woes.

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

Week 9 vs. New England Patriots

D.J. Moore had eight targets last week, but only caught four of them for 59 yards. Moore hasn’t found the end zone since Week 4 against the Cowboys, but he’s had at least seven targets in every game and should continue to be the primary focal point of the passing game in Carolina.

This week, Moore faces a Patriots defense that ranks 11th in aFPA to opposing wide receivers. It’s a tough matchup and this offense leaves a lot to be desired, but with the targets he gets as the main cog of the offense, he should still be active in all formats. We have him ranked as a borderline top-10 option this week.

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

Week 8 at Atlanta Falcons

D.J. Moore caught six balls on 10 targets last week, gaining 73 yards in a lopsided loss to the Giants. Moore is heavily targeted and clearly talented, but he hasn’t scored a touchdown or eclipsed 100 yards in any of his last three games, despite pretty good matchups. The Panthers are trending in the wrong direction offensively.

This week, Moore should have a high floor and a pretty high ceiling against a Falcons defense that ranks 26th in aFPA to opposing wide receivers. His targets and a great matchup should equal top fantasy output, and we have him ranked as a solid WR1 option this week. Start him.

CAR WR D.J. Moore - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at New York Giants

D.J. Moore had five catches for 73 yards last week, along with a rush for an additional six yards. Moore led the team with 13 targets and he’s clearly the best fantasy option in the Carolina passing attack.

This week, Moore faces a struggling Giants defense that ranks 26th in aFPA to opposing wide receivers. Cooper Kupp just ate this secondary alive and Moore should have no trouble turning targets into production in this matchup. We have him just outside our top-five receivers this week and he should be active in all leagues.

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

Week 6 vs. Minnesota Vikings

D.J. Moore struggled along with the rest of the Panthers' offense last week in a loss to the Eagles, catching five of seven targets for just 42 yards. It was the first game of the season where Moore scored single-digit fantasy points. The good news is his seven targets were his low on the season, so his production should return to normal.

This week, Moore faces a Vikings defense that ranks 14th in aFPA to opposing wide receivers. The Vikings struggled the first three games and then bottled up the Browns and Lions the last two weeks, so we’ll see how good they are against Moore and the Panthers. Moore is emerging as an elite receiver, and we have him as a top-10 fantasy option in all formats. Start him.

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

Week 5 vs. Philadelphia Eagles

D.J. Moore had a great game last week, with eight catches for 113 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Both touchdowns came when the game was already out of reach for the Panthers, but it was good to see him lead the team again with 12 targets. Moore is taking that step fantasy managers have been hoping for over the last couple of years, and his trips to the end zone are a big reason why. His three touchdowns this season are just one shy of the most he’s ever had in a single season.

This week, Moore faces an Eagles defense that ranks seventh in aFPA to opposing wide receivers. However, they just gave up three touchdowns to Tyreek Hill, and Moore’s target share makes him worth starting as an elite option. Moore should be active regardless of matchup, and we have him ranked as a top-five option this week.
