DJ Moore News
Monday, August 24, 8:57 PM
Buffalo Bills wide receiver DJ Moore has emerged as a potential sleeper now that 2026 fantasy football drafts are in full swing. Moore certainly struggled in his final season with the Bears last year, catching just 50 passes for 682 yards and six touchdowns as he ranked as the overall WR35 in PPR leagues. Still, prior to last year, he had been a top-24 fantasy receiver for six years in a row, so managers should have some optimism that he'll be able to get back on track in 2026, especially now that he has Josh Allen throwing to him. Allen hasn't supported a top-24 fantasy receiver since 2023, when he had Stefon Diggs at his disposal, but if there's anyone who will restart that streak, it's Moore. He's a clear upgrade over last year's top Bills receiver, Khalil Shakir, and he gives Buffalo the alpha receiver it has been craving ever since Diggs was traded away. We wouldn't bet on Moore replicating his overall WR6 finish from 2023 or anything like that, but his top-15 upside makes him a very underrated draft target at his current ADP of 54.8 (WR25).

Quentin Johnston News
Tuesday, August 18, 12:12 PM
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston (lower body) is not expected to miss much, if any, practice time in training camp after suffering a lower-body injury on Tuesday, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. According to a source, Johnston is "totally fine." The 24-year-old appears to have avoided a significant injury, but the Chargers could elect to hold him out of Thursday's preseason contest against the San Francisco 49ers as a precaution. The former first-rounder from TCU in 2023 has struggled with drops and inconsistency in his first three years in the league, but he had 51 receptions for a career-high 735 receiving yards and scored eight touchdowns in 2025 for a second straight season in 14 regular-season games played. In a new offensive system run by coordinator Mike McDaniel, Johnston has an opportunity to continue to improve for fantasy managers as an excellent red-zone target due to his 6-foot-2, 208-pound frame. Fantasy managers should target Johnston as a WR3/flex with upside as he enters his fourth year in the NFL. RotoBaller has him ranked at No. 37 at his position.
