David Moore News
Tuesday, March 10, 1:26 PM
The Carolina Panthers re-signed wide receiver David Moore to an undisclosed deal on Tuesday, according to Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer. Moore only played in four games for the Panthers in 2025 in his second year with the team, catching his only target for five yards. The 31-year-old former seventh-round selection by the Seattle Seahawks in 2017 out of East Central totaled 32 receptions on a career-high 57 targets for 351 yards and three touchdowns in 17 games played in his first year in Carolina in 2024. Moore will return to provide depth for Carolina's wide receiver room, but he can pretty much be ignored in all fantasy formats going into his ninth NFL season. Moore has never gone over 35 receptions, 445 receiving yards, or six touchdowns in a single year in his NFL career.

Dont'e Thornton Jr. News
Sunday, March 29, 8:41 AM
A fourth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Dont'e Thornton Jr. struggled to establish himself as a rookie. Across 15 games (eight starts), the 23-year-old recorded just 10 catches for 135 yards and zero touchdowns on 30 targets. However, Thornton Jr. should have a significantly improved offensive ecosystem around him in Las Vegas in 2026. The Raiders hired former Seattle Seahawks play-caller Klint Kubiak as their new head coach and are also widely expected to select University of Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza with the number one overall pick in the upcoming draft. Additionally, the Las Vegas wide receiver depth chart currently looks like an open competition for playing time between incumbents Thornton Jr., Jack Bech, and Tre Tucker, as well as free agent additions Jalen Nailor and Dareke Young. Thornton Jr. did not show much reason for optimism as a rookie, so fantasy managers should proceed with caution. However, he also stands out as a buy-low candidate who could likely be acquired on the cheap after his underwhelming 2025 campaign.
