WR Elijah Moore, BUF (1 Viewer)

[jm192]

I'm kind of curious about the hype surrounding a guy who hasn't really shown much, injuries to others be damned. What I mean is, how can you trust him in your starting lineup?

Trust is a strong word. But if you've got multiple injuries, there are worse situations to hitch your wagon to.

I'd like it a lot better if it weren't a Monday night game. If Cooper winds up playing through the injury, there's probably not a ton of good pivot options.

 

[menobrown]

He was a strong start even if Cooper was 100% healthy. If he's not elevated to must start status now it's pretty close.

He's such a major part of this offense. Even with Cooper healthy last week he was tied with DPJ for most routes run, led in targets and tacked on two carries to boot.

Don't let the production from a rain soaked game they won easily and took the peddle of the gas mess with your head. Start this guy unless you got some really strong options.

Tied for most targets with the alpha in his debut and also got a couple rush attempts. So they’re looking to get him the ball in different ways. Amari aggravated his groin late in the week and PIT just got feasted on in the middle, what’s not to like?

Yeah things do seem like they are lining up here for him to produce.

I've been buying into the hype all summer, but it does concern me that everyone keeps talking about this guy's talent, but we've never really seen it. If he doesn't produce here, could be a lot of drops next week.

Just got an alert. Scheffter saying Cooper unlikely to play tmrw.

I wish him all the best but Bump Elijah!!!

 

[skinsrule05]

I didn't think I was going to have to stress about my lineup decision. This news makes me want to put Elijah in. Would you guys start him over Josh Kelley?

No

Elijah, making this decision in one league myself.

Right now I have DJ in, but not confident.

Elijah or DJ - Which Moore do you go with?

I'd go DJ. I think the Bears make a very concentrated effort to get him going today.

 

[kface]

with godwin playing in the rain i'm tempted by moore

 

[wickster33]

I have him going in both my leagues. Totally healthy and a Monday Night start. Probably not great strategy, but I love knowing I still have a chance on Monday night!

Anyone else thinking of putting this guy on waivers ? A hurt Amari cooper was twice as good as this guy

If Watson could hit the broad side of a barn he would have had a much bigger game.

The targets were there, the accuracy was not.

I'm holding for now.

yeah same here. watson was really really bad when targeting anyone not named Cooper.

I am trying to hold on for now. I had such high hopes for him this year and thought he and Watson had some good chemistry brewing in training camp. If a roster need pops up though, he is likely the next one to be thrown back in the pond for me.

 

[Da Franchise]

If Watson can elevate his play to “average” he will be fine. Question is whether that is possible because Deshaun looks like a guy who had a public humiliation, missed two years of football, went from hero to sexual predator and has yet to regain his form and confidence. Which is all very much to my satisfaction, regardless of my Elijah shares.

 

[Chemical X]

sorry all, jet fan here and after his hissy fit i am more than happy to watch elijah doolittle suffer. i have nothing to add, but like watching him be underutilized. amazingly though, he’s a jet wr drafted in round 2 still in the league.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Watson threw for 160 yards and Moore is the WR2
Still had 9 targets, but just 3 catches

Hard to tell which one is at fault but Watson looked terrible

 

[Mister CIA]

An obvious hold, imo.

 

[LittlePhatty]

Seven games and zero TDs.
I still think he's talented, but the Cleveland offense ranks 22nd in TDs.
On the bright side, still a better situation than the Jets.

Averaging 2 less fantasy points a game with the Browns and that's despite having his playing time severely cut with the Jets for awhile.

I'm truly surprised he's been this much of a dud but he's not making any plays. For some odd reason they envisioned him as some sort of Deebo type player. That failed miserably and they seem to have scrapped it. But he's not making any plays downfield and makes me wonder if the LaFluer actually had a better plan for how to use him with the Jets.

Holding for sure just on hope Watson, who I thought was played pretty decent his last full game, can get healthy and resurrect them both.

 

[Drake Hater]

His season stats would look much better with a healthy, average Watson at QB the whole time. I

If Watson gets healthy again there could be some decent value for Moore as a wr3 in the playoffs.

I meant if he were on the Jets this year, who boast a bottom-of-the-barrel 1,150 passing yards so far, and are barely edging out the Giants to claim 2nd worst in receiving TDs (5).
But I realize "stinks a little less" is still "stinks".

Wasn’t Watson stinking up the room when healthy? He had his one year mulligan last year.

Not really.

He played a grand total of 3 games this season before the injury. Improved each week. Was basically stinky week one, meh week two, played really well week 3 which also happened to be Elijah's one decent game all year for fantasy.

I think he's my number 1 WR priority... was pretty good with the jets and flacco

Cooper having health issues adds to the optimism.

Browns' Elijah Moore should retire after scary injury, 'Concussion' doctor says

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Elijah Moore should consider retirement, Dr. Bennett Omalu said in an interview on Friday. Moore suffered a concussion on Thursday.

www.foxnews.com

Not sure how serious to take this story going back to the end of Dec but it sounds like Moore had a pretty scary concussion.
Browns added Jeudy but that doesn't mean a whole lot.
He is at an all time low most drafts/dynasty leagues if people even kept him on their roster.
Had such high hopes for this kid

What about the year before that? I know it was his first year back in 2022, but he sucked.

The Coachspeak
“I think he’s getting better as a player. We’re lining him up in different spots. He has the mental ability to line up in different spots. There’s some newness, I’d say, that we’re excited about for Elijah.”

Ballsy callsy?- Elijah Moore finishes with more catches than Jeudy. But until CLE gets a real QB- ala Flacco-- it won't matter for fantasy. Womp womp. WR 73. I feel bad for Browns fans. Watson is such a phony dirtbag.

 

[The Frankman]

Elijah Moore caught 8-of-12 targets for 85 yards in the Browns’ Week 8 win over the Ravens.

In Jameis Winston’s first game as a starter and Ken Dorsey’s first game as a play-caller, Moore turned in one of his best games as a Brown while tying a career-high with 12 targets. Moore didn’t find the end zone in this one, but he tied for a team-high with five first-down conversions and was second in yards behind Cedric Tillman. It was a surprising game for Moore, who will look to build on it in next week’s game against the Chargers. Fantasy managers should temper expectations until Moore’s production gets a bit more consistent. He’s nothing more than a WR4 next week.
- Rotoworld

With Jameis running the show, Moore might be back as a legit fantasy WR. He ran mostly in the slot and played 49 of 67 snaps (73%), but had a crazy 36% Target Share (33 routes ran, 12 targets).

Elijah Moore is statistically trending upwards.

I am pretty sure it is for real. I liked him as a prospect, but he ahs had some horrible QB play in the NFL.

Have to keep holding him in dynasty I guess

 

[PolkHighPanther]

yep can't drop him now that he finally gets to play with a good qb

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Shakir was given a nice contract extension and Keon Coleman is certainly going to be given every opportunity to show more his 2nd season
Not sure where Elijah Moore is on the depth charts right now but I have him at WR 4/5 at best right now.
Josh Palmer from the Bolts is now with Buffalo and Curtis Samuel is still lurking after a pretty unimpressive 2024, folks were optimistic on him prior to the season

 

[greenmountaingoat]

He's more of an two injuries away guy but the image of Cole Beasley's 2020 13.8 ppr points per game will always tantalize for the slot role in Buffalo and he might be the closest comp in terms of skill to that, only Moore's better.

 

[floods]

I really liked Moore's talent coming out, but the most likely reality in Buffalo is a bunch of 50/700/3-type WRs. Josh Allen recently said it's an "everybody eats" offense, which tells me there won't be an alpha. Best case looks like Shakir with value in PPR, possibly approaching 1k YFS. As a Shakir owner, I'd love to be wrong in the right direction.
