DJ Moore News
Thursday, October 8, 10:26 AM
When Buffalo Bills head coach Joe Brady was asked about potentially letting wide receiver DJ Moore (shoulder) rest his injured shoulder in Week 5 on Monday Night Football against the Los Angeles Rams, he said that the team owes it to Moore to let him try if he thinks he can play as the team monitors his shoulder, per Andy Young. "DJ's a competitor. You see the difference with us with DJ out on the football field," Brady said. Moore originally suffered an AC joint sprain in his shoulder in the Week 2 win over the Detroit Lions, but he has not missed any game time before aggravating the injury in Sunday's divisional loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday. The 29-year-old only caught one of two targets in that game for 11 yards. He also gave fantasy managers a donut in Week 2 when he injured his shoulder, which came after a 100-yard performance and a touchdown in his Bills' debut in Week 1. The good news is that Moore has an extra day to prepare his body before the Monday night contest in L.A. If he does not get the green light to play on Sunday, Keon Coleman will be firmly in play as a flex option after catching six passes for 116 yards and his first touchdown of the year in the loss to New England.

Darius Slayton News
Sunday, October 4, 4:18 AM
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Darius Slayton (coach's decision) is a healthy scratch for Sunday's Week 4 contest against the Washington Commanders in London. It seemed like Slayton was in line to make his Colts debut after Keenan Allen (groin) was ruled out, but that's not the case. With Slayton, Allen, and Alec Pierce (heel, IR) on the sideline, the Colts will likely give more offensive snaps to Laquon Treadwell and Ashton Dulin. Both receivers will push for more targets in their role behind No. 1 receiver Josh Downs. Allen's absence creates an opportunity for Treadwell or Dulin to step in as the next man up, but we're not quite sure this offense can support multiple fantasy-relevant receivers every week. Downs remains the only Indianapolis wideout that should be started for now.
