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.
