DJ Moore Aggravates Shoulder Injury in Week 4

Sunday, October 4, 4:46 PM

Buffalo Bills wide receiver DJ Moore (shoulder) was forced to exit early during Sunday's game against the New England Patriots. Moore was taken to the ground in the second quarter and aggravated his shoulder injury, per Adam Schefter. Moore was unable to return to this game, but his injury isn't viewed as a long-term issue. He finished his day by hauling in one of his two targets for 11 yards in the loss. Fantasy managers will need to check on his status throughout the week to see if he'll be available to play against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 5. If not, Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, and Joshua Palmer will be asked to take on expanded roles.

Jayden Reed News

Jayden Reed Having Season-Ending Neck Surgery

Wednesday, September 30, 8:54 AM

Updating a previous report, Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that wide receiver Jayden Reed (neck) is having surgery on his neck and will miss the rest of the season, according to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. Reed was placed on Injured Reserve on Wednesday. It is obviously bad news for Reed and the struggling Packers offense, but LaFleur said he does not think the injury will end Reed's career. The 26-year-old former second-rounder from Michigan State had a nose for the end zone in his first two NFL seasons, combining for 17 touchdowns (14 receiving, three rushing) in 2023 and 2024, but he played in only seven games last year due to injuries and is now out for the season. Reed will be hard to trust as a fantasy wideout going into the 2027 campaign as he embarks on a long rehab after neck surgery. In two games played in 2026 before injuring his neck, Reed caught four of his eight targets for 24 yards for the Packers. His absence for the rest of the season will only fuel second-year pass-catcher Matthew Golden's breakout potential.
