Moore is WR23 but Hayden starts him because Bears are projected for 29 points vs. Chargers. Moore missed Week 1.5 with AC joint injury; limited practice Wednesday (caught ball above head, sign he'll play); didn't practice Thursday. Hayden expects Moore to get injection, wear brace, and not have same exact role. Even with reduced role, 29-point projection is too high to bench. Chargers defense equally bad as others discussed; small at corner, and Moore is tough tackle when fully healthy. AC joint injuries typically binary: either have mobility/comfort with injection or don't. Moore says he wants to play, so Hayden expects injection + brace.

Moore is a target for the upcoming season due to the expectation that Joe Brady will increase the Bills' pass rate compared to the Sean McDermott-led offenses of the past. Moore's ability to work in the underneath game and on crossers, combined with his effectiveness on scramble drills with Josh Allen, suggests a return to high-level production. The team's investment in him via trade and extension indicates he will be a focal point of the passing attack.

Being drafted as round five pick on Yahoo and in best ball. Has realistic boom-bust expectations. The Bills invested heavily in him via draft capital and contract extension, suggesting they must make it work. Moore's motivation and buy-in may improve in Buffalo with Josh Allen and a Super Bowl-contending environment. However, he's being drafted as if everyone is confident the Bills will change their passing attack, which is uncertain given historical offensive approach.

Drafted as wide receiver 26 on Yahoo despite coming off the worst season of his career. Yards per game dropped from 80 to 57 to 40 over the last three years despite playing in a Ben Johnson offense last year. Bills have been 25th and 30th in dropback rate and 22nd and 30th in percent of yards via passing over the last two years. Question whether DJ Moore is good enough at this point in his career to change Joe Brady and the Bills' offensive approach. Clustered with Terry McLaurin, Luther Burks, Mike Evans, and Roma Dunes, but source prefers to draft more than DJ Moore.
