Matt Waldman highlights DJ Moore's impact on the Bills offense, particularly her ability to create opportunities for teammates like Dalton Kincaid. Waldman explains that Moore's proven skills as a dangerous runner and deep threat force defenses to prioritize her coverage, leaving other receivers in advantageous one-on-one matchups. Waldman states: 'DJ Moore's ability to stretch the field in either direction as a deep threat or as a runner after the catch forces opposing coverages to cheat Moore's way and leave players like Kincaid in true one-on-one scenarios with advantageous leverage where they can make big plays.'NegativeRoleSep 15, 2026

DJ Moore's stock is rapidly rising as the fantasy community catches on to his fit in Buffalo. Focusing on his down year in Chicago misses the mark; instead, he's a polished veteran playmaker joining the AFC's top offense with a perennial All-Pro quarterback who has been desperate for an alpha since Stefon Diggs left town. Diggs averaged 160 targets per season in Buffalo; if Moore gets just 120, he easily outperforms his ADP. If he approaches 140-plus, he'll win your league for you.PositiveValueSep 1, 2026

DJ Moore was acquired by the Bills in a trade from the Bears and reunites with offensive coordinator Joe Brady, who worked with Moore in Carolina from 2020–2021. Moore saw his role reduced in Chicago in 2025, finishing with career lows of 50 receptions and 682 yards despite starting all 17 games. In his first season under Brady in Carolina, Moore posted 1,193 receiving yards and a career-high 18.1 yards per catch. The move to Buffalo gives the Bills a top-caliber receiving weapon for Josh Allen, a role the team has lacked in recent seasons; Khalil Shakir led the Bills with 72 receptions and 719 yards last year.
