DJ Moore News
Wednesday, August 5, 6:15 AM
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.

Brandon Aiyuk News
Thursday, July 30, 1:32 PM
San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch said in January that wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (knee) would never play for the organization again, but has the team's stance changed following a potential season-ending knee injury to Ricky Pearsall? The Niners signed the 28-year-old Aiyuk to a four-year, $120 million contract in August of 2024, and then the former first-rounder from Arizona State played in only seven games that year before suffering a torn ACL and MCL in his right knee. Aiyuk was looking like an ascending young wideout before getting a big new deal, recording back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons with 15 total touchdowns in 2022 and 2023. His knee injury kept him sidelined for all of last year, at which point the off-the-field issues between Aiyuk and the 49ers started, causing the team to void the remaining guarantees in his contract. San Fran was hoping to trade Aiyuk this offseason, but they found no takers. He is on the left-squad list for the start of training camp, and the 49ers have been expected to cut him eventually. But with Pearsall likely done for the entire 2026 season, Aiyuk could be the team's locked-in WR2 behind Mike Evans if the two sides can put the past behind them. This scenario feels like a long shot, but we've seen crazier things happen.
