Scouting report

NYJ WR Elijah Moore - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Cleveland Browns
Elijah Moore caught five passes for 49 yards which was a little disappointing considering he is supposed to be the No. 1 option in the passing game. In fact, four other players were targeted more including two wide receivers Corey Davis and Garrett Wilson. We don't think this will be the norm, but it also could be because Joe Flacco is the quarterback.

Moore will face the Browns who have a good pass rush and a good defense. The Jets will have to make more plays and that should get Moore more involved.

Start Moore as a WR3 or Flex for Week 2. The Jets offense has lots of question marks but Moore is still the best option in the passing game.

NYJ WR Elijah Moore - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. Baltimore Ravens
Elijah Moore is easily the Jets' No. 1 receiver and showed last season he can eventually raise his level high in the league. The problem for any of the Jets is the quarterback situation. Even if Zach Wilson was healthy, those questions would loom. However, Joe Flacco does have some upside with his experience.

Moore faces a Ravens defense that was ranked 27th in aFPA to wide receivers last season. Baltimore did have a lot of injuries that affected their pass defense, so expect them to move back towards the middle of the pack of NFL defenses.

Moore deserves a start, but only as a high-end WR3 or Flex. The QB situation could be called unstable right now and until that corrects itself, Moore will not get ranked on his talent and potential.

NYJ WR Elijah Moore - 2022 Fantasy Football Outlook

2022 Fantasy Upside
Elijah Moore had a respectable rookie campaign in 2021 despite the Jets' inconsistencies and issues on offense. He had a slow start but then started making an impact Week 6. He had a six-week stretch where he caught 34 passes for 459 yards and five touchdowns. The league definitely saw what he was capable of and he should be the No. 1 option in the Jets' passing game playing mostly in the slot.

2022 Fantasy Downside
Moore missed the last five games with a quad injury so durability could be an issue. He also will probably only be as good as his second-year quarterback Zach Wilson. If Wilson is a bust, Moore likely won't progress. There are a lot of factors that could affect Moore which makes drafting him a risk and will hurt his overall fantasy standings

2022 Bottom Line
It's hard to say if the Jets' offense will be markedly improved, but Moore should still post decent numbers if he stays on the field. Expect 60 receptions for about 800 yards. However, his ADP of 80 is probably a slight reach for what will probably be a WR4. He is ranked the 38th wide receiver overall.

NYJ WR Elijah Moore - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs. New Orleans
UPDATE: Moore is out for Sunday vs Saints.
Elijah Moore had double-digit targets for the second time in three games and caught 6 passes for 77 yards. He is clearly the Jets' No. 1 receiver with Corey Davis out for the season. Moore has really come on the second half of the season and gives the Jets a viable vertical threat.

Moore will face the Saints who are ranked 27th in aFPA to wide receivers. With Davis out and a favorable matchup, it should be a good week for Moore. Start him as a solid WR2 for Week 14.

NYJ WR Elijah Moore - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs. Philadelphia
Elijah Moore now has 33 targets over the last four games, most for the Jets over that time period. With Corey Davis hurt, Moore has taken over as the best receiving target for New York.

Moore faces the Eagles who are ranked 4th in aFPA to wide receivers. With a tough matchup and the rookie QB back under center, the Jets offense probably will struggle against Philly. Start Moore as a WR3 or flex for Week 13 based on the fact he will still get targets on Sunday.

NYJ WR Elijah Moore - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at Houston
Elijah Moore has slid in the No. 1 receiver spot for the Jets and with veteran Corey Davis banged up, the rookie should be the best option for fantasy points this week. Moore had a season-high 11 targets last week which produced 141 receiving yards and a touchdown.

Moore faces the Texans who are ranked 18th in aFPA to wide receivers. One factor could be rookie QB Zach Wilson is back which might hurt Moore who put up those numbers with veteran QB Joe Flacco.

Start Moore as a high-end WR3 or flex. Although we don't expect the same numbers as last week, he should justify that ranking for Week 12.

NYJ WR Elijah Moore - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs. Miami
Elijah Moore has stepped into that second wide receiver spot for the Jets as a rookie and has made himself relevant. Over the past four games, he has averaged over six targets per game and has 17 receptions for 208 yards and three touchdowns. He actually had three touchdown receptions over the past two games.

Moore has a favorable matchup against the Dolphins and will have a new quarterback in Joe Flacco. Not sure how this affects Moore with a veteran there, but he still is on the fantasy radar. Keep Moore on the bench for Week 11 and wait to see how it goes with Flacco.
