DJ Moore Will be a Game-Time Decision in Week 3

Buffalo Bills wide receiver DJ Moore (shoulder) will be questionable and a game-time decision for the team's Week 3 contest this Sunday against the visiting Los Angeles Chargers, head coach Joe Brady told Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News. In addition to Moore, fellow wideout Keon Coleman (ankle) is questionable, which could severely thin out Buffalo's receiving corps for quarterback Josh Allen as the Bills look to start 3-0 on the year. Moore took part in practice on Thursday and Friday, albeit in a non-contact jersey. He appears to be trending in the right direction to play this Sunday against the Bolts, but his availability could come down to pain tolerance after he was forced from last Thursday night's win over the Detroit Lions with an AC joint sprain in his shoulder. The 29-year-old did not have a single catch in Week 2 before his injury, but he did have five grabs for 100 yards and his first touchdown of the year in his Bills debut in the Week 1 win over the Houston Texans. If Moore is active on Sunday, fantasy managers will want to get him back into their starting lineups against L.A.

DJ Moore Sporting a Non-Contact Jersey at Friday's Practice

After missing Thursday's practice with the shoulder injury that knocked him out of the team's Week 2 win over the Lions, Buffalo Bills wide receiver DJ Moore (shoulder) was seen taking part in stretching ahead of Friday's practice, wearing a red non-contact jersey. Moore managed only one carry for -1 yard before suffering an AC joint sprain on a penalty-nullified endzone target, but the offseason trade acquisition still ranks second on the team with 100 yards on the five catches he made in his team debut. The risk of re-injury or a potentially limited snap count makes him a slightly less appealing play in Week 3, but as a focal point of what looks to be one of the league's most potent offenses, Moore can be trusted to go right back into lineups if he's cleared to play against the Chargers, and he is RotoBaller's WR18 for the week.

DJ Moore Not Seen on the Field on Wednesday

Buffalo Bills wide receiver DJ Moore (shoulder) was not seen on the practice field during the media-viewing portion on Thursday, according to Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic. In addition to Moore, Keon Coleman (ankle) was not seen after already missing Wednesday's practice. Moore injured his shoulder in last Thursday night's win over the Detroit Lions and did not catch a single pass, but he was limited in practice on Wednesday and reported that he "felt great." The 29-year-old was officially diagnosed with an AC joint sprain, and he is not in the clear yet to play in Week 3 against the visiting Los Angeles Chargers. If Moore does play this weekend, the former first-rounder might not be at 100%. With both Moore and Coleman banged up this week, tight end Dalton Kincaid and receiver Khalil Shakir are becoming more interesting against the 0-2 Chargers. Kincaid should already be a must-start at the TE position. As of right now, Moore should be treated as a very shaky flex option with the weekend approaching.

DJ Moore Says He'll "Be Good" After Limited Practice

Buffalo Bills wide receiver DJ Moore (shoulder) said that he felt great at practice in a limited fashion on Wednesday, according to Matt Parrino of Syracuse.com. Moore still needs to go through some things to be able to play on Sunday at home against the Los Angeles Chargers, but he said, "We'll be good." The 29-year-old suffered what looked like a serious injury in last Thursday night's win over the Detroit Lions, but the fact that he practiced on Wednesday bodes well for him potentially not missing any time. Moore was wearing a non-contact jersey at practice, and he will most likely need to upgrade to a full practice on Thursday or Friday to be cleared to play in Week 3 on Sunday. He did not have a catch at all on Thursday night before leaving the game, but he did have a big debut with Buffalo in their Week 1 win over the Houston Texans, catching five of his eight targets for an even 100 yards and his first touchdown of 2026. If Moore is cleared to play this weekend against the 0-2 Bolts, fantasy managers will want to return him to their starting lineups.

DJ Moore Day-To-Day With AC Joint Sprain

Buffalo Bills wide receiver DJ Moore is day-to-day with an AC joint sprain according to NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport. The injury is not considered serious according to Rapoport and the Bills were surprised that it was less severe than originally thought when he went down on his shoulder. Moore was signed in the off-season in Buffalo from the Chicago Bears and will avoid a serious injury and test out his shoulder during practice this week. The talented receiver has five catches for 100 yards and a touchdown on eight targets in the team's opening-week win over the Houston Texans. Moore didn't get involved in the game in Week 2 against the Lions before he left with the injury. He has the talent to be a WR1 in Buffalo once he gets back to full health.

DJ Moore Battling AC Joint Sprain, Week 3 Status in Question

Buffalo Bills wide receiver DJ Moore (shoulder) is "believed to have suffered an AC joint sprain" in his left shoulder, and his status for Week 3 is "up in the air," per Ian Rapoport and Adam Schefter of ESPN. heaMoore was forced to exit early from his team's Week 2 win over the Detroit Lions, which led to him finishing the game without a reception. The 29-year-old was heavily featured in Buffalo's season-opening win over the Houston Texans, recording five catches for 100 yards and a touchdown on eight targets. Moore has typically been an iron man in his career, playing in all 17 games in five consecutive seasons entering 2026. If he is unable to play in Week 3 against the Los Angeles Chargers, Bills wideout Keon Coleman would likely see a significant increase in playing time and target share.

DJ Moore Ruled Out for Remainder of Thursday Night Football

Buffalo Bills wide receiver DJ Moore (shoulder) has been ruled out for the remainder of Thursday night's game against the Detroit Lions, according to Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network. Moore initially exited during the first half and was listed as questionable with a stinger and shoulder injury, but the team eventually downgraded him to out at halftime. He finishes Week 2 with just one rushing attempt for a loss of one yard. He wasn't targeted in the passing game. It's a brutal loss for fantasy managers, as Moore earned his way into many fantasy lineups after exploding for five catches, 100 yards, and one touchdown in Week 1 against Houston. With Moore out of the lineup, Josh Allen's primary targets will now be wide receiver Khalil Shakir and tight end Dalton Kincaid.

DJ Moore Questionable to Return on Thursday Night with Shoulder Injury

Buffalo Bills wide receiver DJ Moore (shoulder, neck) is questionable to return to his team's Week 2 matchup against the Detroit Lions due to a shoulder injury and a stinger, per an announcement from the team. The veteran wideout was pulled from the game after landing hard on his shoulder. Moore did not see a target before leaving the game and recorded one carry for -1 yard. If he is unable to return on Thursday, Bills wideouts Joshua Palmer, Keon Coleman, and Khalil Shakir would likely be in line for increases in both playing time and target share.

DJ Moore Carries WR1 Appeal Into Thursday Night

It took wide receiver DJ Moore a while to get going in his Buffalo Bills debut. Then everything changed. Moore finished with five catches for 100 yards and a touchdown on eight targets, including a 43-yard score from Josh Allen. Eight targets also led the team. That usage matters just as much as the final stat line heading into Thursday night. Detroit was just shredded through the air by New Orleans, with Chris Olave alone going for 182 yards on 10 catches. Moore is in a much different quarterback situation with Allen, and Week 1 already showed how quickly one play can turn into a big fantasy day. He also did his damage without dominating targets from start to finish, which leaves room for the role to grow. RotoBaller has him at WR10 for Week 2. That is a major jump from where he opened the season, but after one game, Moore already looks like a major part of this passing attack. He is firmly in WR1 territory against Detroit.

DJ Moore Begins Bills Tenure as a Week 1 WR3

Buffalo Bills wide receiver DJ Moore begins his first season with Josh Allen after a disappointing final year in Chicago. Moore finished 2025 with 50 catches for 682 yards and six touchdowns, a sharp drop from the 96 receptions and 1,364 yards he posted in 2023 and the 98 catches he recorded in 2024. Buffalo gives him an immediate chance to rebound as the most established outside receiver in a passing game that also features Khalil Shakir and Dalton Kincaid. Sunday's matchup is not ideal for a splashy debut. Houston allowed only 20 passing touchdowns in 2025, intercepted 19 passes, and held opponents to 5.3 net yards per attempt. RotoBaller has Moore at WR34 for Week 1. The quarterback upgrade raises his season-long ceiling, but this matchup puts him in the WR3/FLEX range for his Bills debut.

DJ Moore Could be on the Field Constantly

The Athletic's Joe Buscaglia writes that wide receiver DJ Moore could help swing the Bills' 2026 season after he was their "crown jewel" of the offseason when they acquired him in a trade from the Chicago Bears. His contributions during training camp were "immediate and obvious" for the offense, with quarterback Josh Allen "routinely pushing the ball downfield" to Moore. Allen made a "concerted effort all summer" to build on-field chemistry with Moore. It is no secret that Buffalo brought Moore in to be their WR1. The days of "everybody eats" in the Bills' offense "seem to be in the rearview mirror," and Buscaglia does not think it would be surprising to see Moore on the field "consistently and for Allen to default to looking his way." With that said, Buscaglia also cautions that Moore could be a letdown. After all, he averaged only 824 yards per season the last two years in Chicago and seemed to have a disconnect with QB Caleb Williams. The good news for fantasy managers is that Moore should be guaranteed a high snap and target role in Buffalo, making him a high-floor WR3/flex each week. Ultimately, Moore's success (or lack thereof) could depend on the connection he develops with Allen.

DJ Moore Set to Bounce Back with New QB and New Role

Buffalo Bills wide receiver DJ Moore is expected to bounce back in fantasy football leagues following a change of scenery this past offseason. A fresh start was necessary for Moore, who fell to WR35 in PPR leagues with 50 catches, 682 yards, and six touchdowns. The Bears' offense was definitely trending up, but there simply weren't enough targets to go around in a system that also featured Rome Odunze, Luther Burden III, and Colston Loveland. On the other hand, Buffalo has very little receiver star power, which means that Moore should step up as the team's No. 1 receiver right away. He'll also benefit from a quarterback upgrade, going from Caleb Williams to Josh Allen. Williams is great, but Allen just plays at a completely different level and should help Moore get back to the top-24 receiver range in fantasy football this year. He currently ranks as RotoBaller's WR25 in the latest redraft rankings. He has an ADP of 53.5, which corresponds to the fifth round of fantasy drafts and makes him the 24th receiver off the board.

DJ Moore Could Offer Top-15 Upside

Buffalo Bills wide receiver DJ Moore could emerge as one of the best sleepers at this position. The 29-year-old struggled during his final season with the Chicago Bears last season. He finished with 50 receptions, 682 receiving yards, and six touchdowns in 17 games. Certainly a down year for Moore, who is often a 1,000-yard receiver. The Bears had a crowded receiver room, so a move elsewhere was best for Moore's value. He landed in Buffalo that might end up being the best thing for his career. Moore can be the WR1 wideout in Buffalo with Stefon Diggs departing elsewhere. The veteran wideout is underrated with his current ADP of 54.8. If everything goes right for Moore, he could finish with a top-15 season with his new team.

DJ Moore Emerging as a Top Sleeper in 2026 Fantasy Drafts

Buffalo Bills wide receiver DJ Moore has emerged as a potential sleeper now that 2026 fantasy football drafts are in full swing. Moore certainly struggled in his final season with the Bears last year, catching just 50 passes for 682 yards and six touchdowns as he ranked as the overall WR35 in PPR leagues. Still, prior to last year, he had been a top-24 fantasy receiver for six years in a row, so managers should have some optimism that he'll be able to get back on track in 2026, especially now that he has Josh Allen throwing to him. Allen hasn't supported a top-24 fantasy receiver since 2023, when he had Stefon Diggs at his disposal, but if there's anyone who will restart that streak, it's Moore. He's a clear upgrade over last year's top Bills receiver, Khalil Shakir, and he gives Buffalo the alpha receiver it has been craving ever since Diggs was traded away. We wouldn't bet on Moore replicating his overall WR6 finish from 2023 or anything like that, but his top-15 upside makes him a very underrated draft target at his current ADP of 54.8 (WR25).

Bills Not Worried About DJ Moore's Injury

Buffalo Bills head coach Joe Brady indicated that wide receiver DJ Moore (lower leg) is "good" following his injury scare during Saturday's preseason win over the Carolina Panthers, according to Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic. Moore sustained a lower leg injury during his last catch in the first quarter of Saturday's preseason opener. According to Buscaglia, Moore will be further evaluated, but the Bills don't seem to be too worried. The 29-year-old looked impressive, finishing with three catches on four targets for 61 yards, averaging 20.3 yards per reception. Keon Coleman also picked up an injury on Saturday but is expected to be fine. Moore is set to be Buffalo's WR1 and star quarterback Josh Allen''s No. 1 target after Buffalo acquired him from the Bears during the offseason. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor the situation, but it appears Moore avoided a severe injury.

D.J. Moore Leaves Preseason Opener With Lower-Leg Concern

Buffalo Bills wide receiver D.J. Moore (lower leg) left Saturday's preseason opener against the Carolina Panthers after his third catch of the game. According to Matt Parrino, Moore grabbed at his ankle after picking up a first down, then came out and spoke with trainers before putting his helmet away. It was later reported that Moore was moving around well on the sideline while the medical staff looked at his lower leg. That is encouraging, but Buffalo has not announced a diagnosis or said whether Moore will miss any practice time. Most of the Bills' starting offense was coming out around the same point, so his day may have been finished regardless. Moore joined Buffalo in an offseason trade after catching 50 passes for 682 yards and six touchdowns for Chicago last season. He has quickly become a major part of the Bills' offense, making his status worth watching once the team provides an update.

DJ Moore Makes Bills "More Dangerous"

The Buffalo Bills sent a second-round pick to the Bears this offseason to acquire wide receiver DJ Moore, and with Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer recently visiting Bills' training camp, he notes that the eighth-year veteran "has the look of a real difference-maker." Moore has brought his advertised speed and physicality to Buffalo, and in slotting in as the true number one receiver that Josh Allen and this offense have been missing in recent years, Breer believes he will allow other players on the roster to move into the complementary roles they are perhaps better suited for, making the offense more dangerous as a whole. Moore faced serious target competition in his final season in Chicago, resulting in a career-low 682 yards, but he has four 1,100-yard seasons under his belt and has shown an ability to thrive in an Alpha receiver role. Breer's assessment suggests that's the version of Moore that the Bills will be getting, and at RotoBaller's WR27, he could prove to be one of the better values in the middle rounds of 2026 drafts.

DJ Moore Building an "Unreal" Connection with His New Quarterback

Tuesday marked the most extensive 11-on-11 work of Buffalo Bills training camp to this point, and veteran wide receiver DJ Moore continues to make plays while building a connection with quarterback Josh Allen that has stood out to teammates. After the two linked up for a 50-yard touchdown strike during team sessions, receiver Khalil Shakir told reporters, "When you watch stuff like that, it just feels fake, like how beautiful that play was." He also described the connection between Moore and Allen as "unreal" while pointing out, "the stuff they've done every single day and the growth that's come within that is going to help us win games for sure." Moore spent his final season in Chicago in a crowded receiver room, resulting in career-lows of 50 receptions for 682 yards. Now, as the unquestioned primary receiver in an offense that's been in search of such a piece since the departure of Stefon Diggs, Moore has the opportunity to show that last season was more of an outlier than the start of his decline, and at RotoBaller's WR27, he could still prove to be a fantasy difference-maker from the middle rounds of drafts.

DJ Moore a Risky Pick at Current Redraft ADP Despite Improved Situation in Buffalo

After spending the last three seasons with the Chicago Bears, veteran wide receiver DJ Moore was acquired by the Buffalo Bills this past spring. Moore had one of the least productive seasons of his career in his final year with Chicago, recording 50 catches for 682 yards and six touchdowns on 85 targets across 17 games. Moore was marginalized in Chicago by the emergence of younger wide receivers Rome Odunze and Luther Burden III. However, Moore profiles as the clear WR1 for the Bills, who have been desperate for high-end wide receiver play for the past couple of years. Moore recorded 98 catches for 966 yards and six touchdowns on 140 targets in 2024, so he could immediately return to form in his first season as the WR1 in Buffalo. Still, Moore is entering his age-29 season and has racked up the mileage of 131 NFL games on his body. It's possible that 2025 was simply the start of the decline phase of Moore's career. At his current redraft ADP of WR23, Moore could be a risky selection for fantasy managers.

DJ Moore to be a Go-to Target in his First Season in Buffalo?

The Buffalo Bills attempted to upgrade quarterback Josh Allen's receiving corps this offseason by acquiring wide receiver DJ Moore from the Chicago Bears, and NFL.com's Nick Shook suggests that Moore could be the missing link between the Bills and an AFC Championship appearance. "Just really getting to know him, we're locker mates, and to have that relationship that we already have, it's a pretty seamless fit. I'm excited to continue to get to work with him. He's going to be a huge help for us this next season and seasons to come," Allen said. The Bills have lacked an experienced, proven wideout since they traded Stefon Diggs to the Houston Texans before the 2024 season. Moore will combine with Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, Tyrell Shavers, Joshua Palmer, and Gabe Davis in his new digs in 2026. The 29-year-old Moore had the worst season of his career in 2025, catching just 50 passes for 682 yards and six touchdowns in 17 regular-season games. With less competition for targets in Buffalo, he should be in the mix for a bounce-back season in 2026. Fantasy managers should target him as a low-end WR2/high-end WR3/flex in upcoming drafts.
