Elijah Moore Goes For 21 Yards In Week 16 Loss

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Elijah Moore caught two of his five targets for 21 yards in a 24-6 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 16. Moore and the rest of the Cleveland receivers struggled in Dorian Thompson-Robinson's first start of the season as most of the quarterback's 157 passing yards went to David Njoku (66 yards) and Jerome Ford (39). Moore has been held to 34 or fewer receiving yards in three straight games and will not be on the fantasy radar heading into a home matchup against the Miami Dolphins in Week 17.

Elijah Moore Not A Strong Fantasy Option In Week 16

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Elijah Moore struggled in a Week 15 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, losing one yard on two catches. He will look to bounce back on the road against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 16. The Bengals have been a good matchup for receivers in fantasy this season as they are allowing the 13th-most fantasy points per game to the position. That being said, the Browns have chosen to bench Jameis Winston and insert quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson as their starter this week, a move that is a significant downgrade for all of the Cleveland pass catchers. Moore was barely hanging onto flex status in PPR leagues even with Winston slinging it and can't be started in any fantasy formats moving forward now that DTR is under center.

Elijah Moore Disappoints In Week 15 Loss

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Elijah Moore caught two of his six targets for minus-one yard in a 21-7 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 15. Moore appeared to be on his way to a larger role with tight end David Njoku (hamstring) inactive but he ended up doing next to nothing in the blowout loss. The veteran had a nice stretch in November and early December but he has now caught just five passes for 33 yards over his past two games. That being said, he will still be worth a look as a flex option in a plus matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 16 assuming that the team sticks with Jameis Winston after benching him late in the loss to the Chiefs.

Elijah Moore Could Take On Larger Role In Week 15

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Elijah Moore caught just three passes for 34 yards in a Week 14 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. He has a chance to turn in a much bigger outing in Week 15's home matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs have been susceptible to the pass this season, allowing the 15th-most fantasy points per game to opposing wideouts. The Browns will also be without Cedric Tillman (concussion) while David Njoku (hamstring) appears to be on the wrong side of questionable after missing practice all week. If Njoku does not play, Moore slots in as a solid WR3 for fantasy leagues. Even if Njoku ultimately ends up playing, Moore is still worth considering in starting lineups as a flex/WR4 type.

Elijah Moore Held To Three Catches In Week 14

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Elijah Moore caught three of his four targets for 34 yards in a 27-14 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 14. Moore was quiet in the loss to the Steelers, finishing third on the team in receiving just one week after posting 111 receiving yards in a loss to the Denver Broncos. The veteran wideout has been a bit up-and-down of late but he's still worth keeping on fantasy rosters heading into a Week 15 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Elijah Moore A WR3 In Week 14

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Elijah Moore (shoulder) turned in his best performance of the season in a Week 13 loss to the Denver Broncos, catching eight passes for 111 yards. While he dealt with a shoulder injury throughout the past week, he practiced fully on Friday and does not have an injury status on the team's final practice report heading into the weekend. The veteran receiver will have his work cut out for him in a Week 14 matchup against a Pittsburgh Steelers defense that is allowing the ninth-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing receivers this season. Treat Moore as a mid-range WR3 in fantasy this weekend.

Elijah Moore Returns To Full Practice On Thursday

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Elijah Moore (shoulder) upgraded to a full practice participant on Thursday and is well on his way to being active this weekend for a Week 14 divisional clash against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Moore was limited in the first practice of the week on Wednesday. Additionally for the Browns, second-year wideout Cedric Tillman (concussion) still isn't practicing and looks likely to miss a second straight game. With Tillman out in Monday night's loss to the Denver Broncos, the 24-year-old Moore had season-highs in catches (eight), receiving yards (114) and targets (14). While it will be tough to come close to replicating those numbers in a divisional game against one of the best defenses in the league, Moore will once again hold more WR4/flex upside in fantasy if Tillman misses another contest. Moore's fantasy stock has gone up with quarterback Jameis Winston under center.

Elijah Moore Limited In Wednesday's Practice

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Elijah Moore (shoulder) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday. Moore was also listed on the Week 12 injury report but played through it and wasn't on the injury report last week before going off for a season-high 111 receiving yards on a season-high 14 targets in Monday night's loss to the Denver Broncos. The 24-year-old's shoulder injury shouldn't keep him from suiting up this Sunday to face the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers. In the first meeting with Pittsburgh just two weeks ago, Moore only had three catches on five targets for 21 yards. It's notable that his big performance on Monday came with Cedric Tillman (concussion) out. Moore has only one touchdown on the year and has limited upside in fantasy, although he's been much more attractive with quarterback Jameis Winston running Cleveland's offense.

Elijah Moore Goes For 111 Yards In Week 13 Loss

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Elijah Moore caught eight of his 14 targets for 111 yards in a wild 41-32 loss to the Denver Broncos in Week 13's Monday night game. Moore finished second on the team in targets, behind only David Njoku, while posting his best yardage total of the season for the Browns. The veteran slot receiver has been reinvigorated since the Browns turned to Jameis Winston as their starting quarterback, elevating him to every-week WR3 status in fantasy leagues. He will now prepare to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers on the road in Week 14.

Elijah Moore A Flex Option In Week 13

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Elijah Moore was quiet in a Week 12 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, catching just three passes for 21 yards on a cold, snowy day in Cleveland. He will look to bounce back against the Denver Broncos on the road in Week 13's Monday night game. The Broncos have been tough on opposing receivers this season, allowing the third-fewest fantasy points per game to the position. With Cedric Tillman (concussion) set to miss the game, Moore could see even more work than usual pushed onto his plate, making him a WR4/flex option in deeper fantasy leagues this week.

Elijah Moore Catches Three Passes In Week 12 Win

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Elijah Moore caught three of his five targets for 21 yards in a 24-19 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 12's Thursday night game. Moore was quiet on a cold, snowy evening in Cleveland as he finished just fifth on the team in receiving. Cleveland went with a very run-centric game plan due to the weather, which cut into Moore's production just a week after he went for 66 yards and a touchdown. Moore will remain a decent flex option in fantasy most weeks, although a difficult matchup against the Denver Broncos awaits him in Week 13.

Elijah Moore Trending Up Heading Into Thursday Night Game

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler thinks Cleveland Browns wide receiver Elijah Moore is a sleeper for WR2 duty heading into a divisional showdown in primetime on Thursday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers to kick off Week 12 action. Moore has had 29 targets the last three weeks with quarterback Jameis Winston running the offense. He had 66 receiving yards and his first touchdown of the year in the Week 11 loss to the New Orleans Saints. At 2-8 on the year, Fowler sees no reason why the Browns will stray from a high-volume passing attack with Winston in a tough matchup against the visiting Steelers this week. There's no arguing that Cleveland's pass-catchers have become more interesting with Winston under center, but the matchup certainly isn't ideal for fantasy purposes against a top defense with nasty weather expected.

Elijah Moore Cleared To Play Against Steelers

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Elijah Moore (shoulder) was listed as a limited participant in practice on Monday and Tuesday due to a shoulder injury, but he returned to full practice on Wednesday and is set to play in the Thursday Night Football contest against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Moore was a non-factor early in the 2024 season, but after Amari Cooper was dealt to Buffalo and Jameis Winston took over the starting quarterback job, he has had relative success in fantasy football. The former New York Jet has tallied at least 16.5 PPR fantasy points in two of Winston's three starts, but a tough matchup against the Steelers' secondary on a short week is concerning. That said, six teams are on a bye, so he's a decent WR4/Flex option in Week 12.

Elijah Moore Maintains Limited Practice Status

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Elijah Moore was limited in practice for the second straight day to open the week on Tuesday. Moore's injury isn't believed to be serious enough to put him in danger of missing Thursday night's game against the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers, so the Browns are likely just taking it easy on the 24-year-old wideout on a short week. Like many of Cleveland's offensive skill players, Moore has benefitted from quarterback Jameis Winston taking over under center due to the season-ending injury to Deshaun Watson. In the last three games with Winston starting, Moore has 17 receptions (29 targets) for 179 yards and his first touchdown of the season, which came this past week in the loss to the New Orleans Saints. However, fantasy managers may want to temper expectations for Moore as a WR4/flex in a tough matchup against the Steelers' vaunted defense this week.

Elijah Moore Listed As Limited On Monday

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Elijah Moore (shoulder) was listed as limited on the team's Monday practice estimation ahead of their Week 12 game on Thursday night versus the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers. Moore is most likely being rested on a short week and should be able to suit up on Thursday after catching six of his eight targets for 66 yards and his first touchdown of the season in the 35-14 loss to the New Orleans Saints on Sunday in Week 11. The 24-year-old pass-catcher has benefitted from the switch from quarterback Deshaun Watson (Achilles) to Jameis Winston, catching 17 passes for 179 yards and a touchdown in the three games since Winston took over under center. Despite the recent uptick in production for Moore, fantasy managers should be looking to fade him in the upcoming Week 12 matchup against the Steelers on Thursday.

Elijah Moore Goes For 66 Yards, TD In Week 11

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Elijah Moore caught six of his eight targets for 66 yards and a touchdown in a 35-14 loss to the New Orleans Saints in Week 11. Moore found the end zone for the first time all season on a 30-yard pass from Jameis Winston in the third quarter. The veteran receiver's fantasy value has come to life with the switch to Winston at quarterback as Moore has drawn at least eight targets in each of his past three games. Moore sets up as a decent flex option heading into Week 12's Thursday night game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Nov 17, 2024 4:40 PM EST


Elijah Moore A Flex Option In Week 11

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Elijah Moore comes out of his bye to take on the New Orleans Saints on the road in Week 11. Moore has been heavily targeted over his past two games, drawing 21 targets over that span. The Saints represent a decent matchup for Moore as they are allowing the 11th-most fantasy points per game to opposing wideouts. Moore has gone over 44 receiving yards just once all season and has yet to cross the goal line but his recent target volume makes him worth a look as a flex option in PPR leagues this weekend.

Elijah Moore Catches Three Balls In Week 9

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Elijah Moore caught three of his nine targets for 28 yards in a 27-10 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 9. Moore failed to repeat his big outing in Week 8, although his nine targets were encouraging as he has now drawn 21 looks from Jameis Winston over the past two weeks. The veteran wideout will be on bye in Week 10 before he takes on the New Orleans Saints in Week 11.

Elijah Moore A Flex Option Against Chargers In Week 9

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Elijah Moore posted his best game of the season in an upset win over the Baltimore Ravens last week, catching eight passes for 85 yards. He will look to keep it going in Week 9's home matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Chargers have been tough on receivers this season, allowing the second-fewest fantasy points per game to the position thus far. That being said, the quarterback switch to Jameis Winston has breathed some lift into the Cleveland passing attack, putting Moore back on the map as a possible flex option in fantasy. He's worth a look in 12-team and larger leagues if desperate.

Elijah Moore Brings In Eight Balls In Week 8

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Elijah Moore caught eight of his 12 targets for 85 yards in a 29-24 win over the Baltimore Ravens in Week 8. Moore led the Browns in targets and catches while finishing second in receiving yards in the upset win over the Ravens. The eight-catch, 85-yard game from Moore was easily his best effort of the 2024 season as he showed instant chemistry with new starting quarterback Jameis Winston. Moore is all of a sudden on the fantasy radar as a possible flex option moving forward now that Winston is under center. He will look to stay hot against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 9.
