DJ Moore News
Monday, July 20, 10:36 AM
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.

Brian Thomas Jr. News
Saturday, August 1, 9:18 AM
The Jacksonville Jaguars have a stacked wide receiver room going into the 2026 season, with Jakobi Meyers and Parker Washington seemingly at the top, with former first-rounder Brian Thomas Jr. and former Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter "chasing" them, according to John Shipley of Sports Illustrated. "Park [WR Parker Washington] and Kob [WR Jakobi Meyers], they're going to always do their thing. They're going to always be there. They're the first people in the building. B.T. and I are chasing that. We want to be the first person in the building," Hunter said. Thomas, 23, had an eye-opening 87-1,282-10 line in 17 games as a rookie in 2024, but he regressed with 48 catches, 707 yards, and only two touchdowns in 14 regular-season games last year, and now he could be the WR3 for the Jags going into his third season. However, Thomas has had a strong offseason while gaining chemistry with quarterback Trevor Lawrence, and he figures to remain a key piece of the team's passing game in 2026. There's a clear buying opportunity here in dynasty/keeper leagues, and Thomas could be a nice value pick in redraft leagues as a WR3/flex with upside as he looks to bounce back in Year 3.
