DJ Moore Hopes to Build on Solid Return

Sunday, November 8, 5:00 AM

Bills wide receiver DJ Moore enjoyed a solid return from injury last week against the Ravens and will hope to build on it during a tough matchup on Monday night. Moore and the Bills take on a Vikings defense that has limited its opponents to just 154.9 yards passing per game this season, the best mark in the NFL. Last week, Minnesota limited the Detroit Lions to just 154 yards passing, while Detroit's leading receiver, Jameson Williams, finished with just 70 yards on four receptions. Moore recorded four receptions on seven targets, finishing the game against the Ravens with 82 yards receiving and a touchdown, while also fumbling the ball away. He is RotoBaller's 23rd-ranked wide receiver and is projected to score 10 fantasy points against the Vikings.

Michael Pittman Jr. Hopes to Return After Bye Week

Monday, November 2, 6:12 AM

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (foot) has started running and hopes to return following the team's Week 9 bye, according to Ashley Wenskoski of Pittsburgh Sports Tonight. Pittman explained that his injury initially began as plantar fasciitis before developing into a different foot issue, although he did not specify the exact diagnosis. He also said surgery was never under consideration. The 29-year-old has been on injured reserve since October 10 and is eligible to return against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 10 on November 15. Pittman caught just seven of 12 targets for 89 yards in three appearances before landing on IR. Rookie Germie Bernard has taken on a larger role during his absence, recording 32 receptions for 284 yards and a touchdown. Pittman's progress is encouraging, but his limited early-season production and Bernard's emergence leave questions about his fantasy value whenever he returns.
