PositiveValueSep 30, 2026
Moore is a buy candidate at current market price. In weeks 1 and 3, he posted an expected PPR points per game rate of 16.2, which ranked him around wide receiver 9; when including week 2, that falls to WR 34. On a per-route basis, Moore ranks second in the league in targets per route run among wide receivers with 30+ routes (trailing only Jackson Smith-Njigba) and sixth in yards per route run. JJ Zachariason is higher than the market on Moore's value.PositiveValueSep 30, 2026

JJ Zachariason is a soft fade on DJ Moore, citing historical data showing that wide receivers over 28 with back-to-back seasons of sub-1.5 to 1.7 yards per route run rarely produce league-winning fantasy numbers.NegativeProjectionAug 5, 2026

JJ Zachariason expresses caution about DJ Moore, noting that while he understands the real-life fit, multiple predictive metrics suggest avoiding the pick. He contrasts Moore's profile unfavorably with Luther Burden's, where Burden has strong per-route efficiency despite low rookie PPG, whereas Moore appears to have multiple concerning metrics.NegativeBustJul 22, 2026
Zachariason expresses caution on DJ Moore despite understanding the real-life fit in Chicago's offense; he notes that Moore has six, seven, or eight relatively predictive metrics all saying not to draft him, which is a stronger red flag than Luther Burden's single low PPG metric.NegativeProjectionJul 9, 2026
Moore has posted a sub-7% first downs per route run rate in back-to-back seasons and been below 1.5 yards per route run in back-to-back seasons, both very poor numbers for a top-30 wide receiver, making the analyst 'out' despite the hypothetical fit with Josh Allen.NegativeBustJul 2, 2026
JJ Zachariason warns that DJ Moore has a scary floor despite an interesting ceiling. The scary market score comp is Julio Jones in 2021, who scored 6.4 PPR points per game after switching from Atlanta to Tennessee. DJ Moore is in year nine and switched teams similarly. While Zachariason doesn't think this comp will happen, it serves as a cautionary tale about downside risk, as Julio Jones was a horrible pick that year.PositiveRoleJun 5, 2026
