From the episode
The problem is, is that he is being framed as a safe pick because he is reuniting with his old offensive coordinator...Brady significantly reduced pass volume in Buffalo, immediately becoming the OC in the middle of the season...Carolina saw 100 more attempts each season than we have seen from Buffalo in the past two seasons under Joe Brady...There is no guarantee for big volume in Buffalo for DJ Moore...This one is a very, very hard fade for me.
STACKED’s take
DJ Moore is a hard fade; Brady's Buffalo offense won't generate Carolina-level volume.
The source warns DJ Moore is being framed as a safe pick due to reuniting with offensive coordinator Joe Brady, but this overlooks critical context: Brady significantly reduced pass volume in Buffalo immediately upon arrival, with back-to-back seasons under 500 pass attempts for Josh Allen by design. Carolina's situation does not apply to Buffalo; Carolina saw 100+ more pass attempts each season under Brady than Buffalo has seen in the past two seasons. Carolina was an objectively awful team (Teddy Bridgewater, Sam Darnold, PJ Walker as starters) that required inflated pass attempts, and CMC was injured both years, forcing volume through receivers. In one of those Carolina seasons, DJ Moore was actually out-targeted by Robbie Anderson. Buffalo added Moore to improve pass-catcher quality, not increase pass volume. The source calls this a "very, very hard fade" because without a dramatic increase in pass attempts—which is unlikely—Moore will produce mediocre, unpredictable weekly performances. At WR27 (60th overall), his cost is in Bears territory with better upside alternatives available later (Christian Watson, Marvin Harrison Jr., Rashid Rice, Carnell Cade).
