DJ Moore News
Sunday, April 12, 10:25 AM
Buffalo Bills wide receiver DJ Moore is coming off a subpar season, but this past offseason's trade should bode well for his fantasy outlook going forward. Moore was held to a modest 50 catches, 682 yards, and six touchdowns as a Chicago Bear in 2025, ranking as the overall WR35 in PPR leagues. That was Moore's worst single-season fantasy finish since his rookie campaign in 2018, when he was the WR39. It seemed as though the 28-year-old simply fell out of favor in head coach Ben Johnson's new-look Bears offense last year. The veteran receiver dropped below Luther Burden III, Rome Odunze, and Colston Loveland in the pecking order, so when the Bears were offered a second-round pick for him, they pounced on the opportunity. It was a somewhat pricey addition for the Bills, but it should elevate their offense and give them a true WR1. He'll immediately become Josh Allen's favorite target, surpassing Khalil Shakir on the depth chart. Moore is under contract through 2029, so he has a relatively favorable fantasy outlook. There are worse things than operating as Josh Allen's favorite target for four consecutive years, so as long as he stays healthy, Moore could return to his pre-2025 form going forward. He's an intriguing buy-low candidate in dynasty leagues this offseason.

Michael Pittman Jr. News
Sunday, April 19, 7:59 AM
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. will get a fresh start in 2026 following an offseason trade. Dealt from the Colts to the Steelers, Pittman will slot in as a starting wide receiver opposite DK Metcalf next year. He offers a major upgrade for the Steelers, who endured a rough season of Calvin Austin III as their No. 2 receiver last year. Pittman was impressive when quarterback Daniel Jones (Achilles) was healthy, averaging 11.4 fantasy points per game (half-PPR) and ranking as the overall WR8. However, his production took a hit when Jones was ruled out for the season. Therein lies the biggest question mark for Pittman in 2026. We still don't know who his quarterback will be in Pittsburgh. An Aaron Rodgers return seems probable, but nothing is imminent. Assuming Rodgers does return to the Steelers, he could support top-25 finishes from both Metcalf and Pittman. We're encouraged by Pittman's new opportunity, as the Steelers' decision to trade for him shows how much they want to get him involved on offense. He currently ranks as the WR52 in RotoBaller's dynasty rankings, so managers who have higher expectations could opt to buy low on Pittman this offseason.
