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.

George Pickens News

George Pickens Signs the Franchise Tag on Wednesday

Wednesday, April 29, 6:44 PM

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens signed the franchise tag on Wednesday, a source told Todd Archer of ESPN. Pickens will be guaranteed $27.3 million while playing for the Cowboys in 2026, but the organization has already said they won't sign the 25-year-old to a long-term extension before the July 15 deadline. Even though Pickens signed the franchise tag, he's expected to hold out during training camp this summer, and the Cowboys could decide to trade him for premium draft capital in 2027. If Pickens says in Dallas for the 2026 campaign, Dallas will have one of the league's top one-two punches at WR again with Pickens and CeeDee Lamb. Pickens led the Cowboys in receiving in 2025 in what was a career year, catching 93 of his 137 targets for 1,429 yards and nine touchdowns in 17 games played. He was the WR5 in half-PPR scoring, and as long as he stays in Dallas for the upcoming season, Pickens is going to be a pricey WR1 early in fantasy drafts later this year.
