DJ Moore a Prime Bounce-Back Candidate Following Offseason Trade

Tuesday, May 5, 12:48 PM

The Buffalo Bills made a big splash at the wide receiver position early in the offseason, acquiring veteran pass-catcher DJ Moore from the Chicago Bears. Moore is coming off a relative down year in Chicago, as he hauled in 50 receptions for 682 yards and six touchdowns on 85 targets across 17 games. 2025 was Moore's first season seeing fewer than 118 targets since his rookie year with the Carolina Panthers in 2018. However, the 29-year-old should see less target competition in Buffalo than he did in Chicago, where he was competing with wide receivers Rome Odunze and Luther Burden III, as well as tight end Colston Loveland. With the Bills, Moore profiles as the clear WR1 ahead of complementary wideouts Khalil Shakir and Joshua Palmer. It's possible that age-related decline was the reason for Moore's down year in Chicago, so he carries some risk for dynasty managers. Still, Moore's dynasty stock is rising following his offseason change of scenery.

Can Brian Thomas Jr. Rebound After Down Year in 2025?

Saturday, April 18, 10:44 AM

After recording nearly 1,300 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns as a rookie in 2024, Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. regressed in his second season. Across 14 games, the 23-year-old hauled in 48 receptions for 707 yards and two touchdowns on 91 targets. After looking like a no-doubt fantasy WR1 as a rookie, Thomas Jr.'s dynasty value is now an open question. However, Thomas Jr. battled wrist, shoulder, and ankle injuries throughout the year, which may have played a role in his subpar performance. The Jaguars also reportedly plan to play cornerback/wide receiver Travis Hunter (knee) more on the defensive side of the ball in 2026, which could open up a few more target opportunities for Thomas Jr. He comes with a significant amount of risk, but dynasty managers may never have a better buy-low window on Thomas Jr.
