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.

Rashod Bateman Unlikely to See a Dynasty Revival in New-Look Offense

Thursday, June 11, 5:48 AM

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman has had a disappointing early career since being drafted in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft. While missing four games in 2025, he still saw the second-most playing time of all Ravens receivers, but he was unable to follow up on his career-high 756 receiving yards from the previous season, and he's yet to top the 46 receptions of his rookie campaign. His 2024 season also looks to be an outlier from a touchdown perspective, as his nine scores that year mark the only instance of him finding the end zone more than twice. With Baltimore welcoming in an entirely new coaching staff and spending third and fourth-round picks on receivers Ja'Kobi Lane and Elijah Sarratt, while subsequently saying goodbye to tight ends Isaiah Likely and Charlie Kolar, the Ravens offense could look entirely different in 2026, and Bateman's role is far from secured. Under contract through his age-30 season, Bateman's prospects of a fantasy-relevant breakout are looking bleak, and the sixth-year veteran has fallen to RotoBaller's dynasty WR112.
