All Fantasy Football with Ian Hartitz insights about D.J. Moore
NegativeValueAug 21, 2026
Ian Hartitz officially removed DJ Moore from his fade list after re-evaluating draft position and ankle injury status; he now believes the price is reasonable in rounds 5-6 and compares Moore favorably to Mike Evans tier. Hartitz lists DJ Moore as a tier-one wide receiver option for first-five-round drafting alongside AJ Brown, Malik Neighbors, Lab Mcconi, Luther Burton, and Mike Evans as part of an ideal early-round fantasy team construction.NegativeValueAug 20, 2026
Ian Hartitz initially faded DJ Moore but has changed his mind. He now sees Moore as a legitimate number one wide receiver in Buffalo and is comfortable buying her at a Gabe Davis price (not a Stefon Diggs price) in round six. Hartitz was swayed not by preseason performance but by rewatching playoff highlights and recognizing the upside ceiling. He previously acknowledged being wrong to call DJ Moore a fade in earlier videos, stating Moore deserves to go in the Mike Evans-Christian Watson round or potentially higher.NegativeValueAug 19, 2026
Ian Hartitz admits his previous fade of DJ Moore was incorrect, stating that Moore's current draft price is fine, though he personally prefers Christian Watson and Mike Evans in that range.NegativeBustAug 18, 2026
Ian Hartitz admits to fading DJ Moore in his current drafts, acknowledging that the market sentiment is pushing back against his stance and that he is being held accountable by his audience for this fade.NegativeInjuryAug 17, 2026
Suffered an ankle injury in preseason Week 1, appearing to get rolled up on. While Moore said he was fine post-game, Dr. Jeff Mueller suspects it could be a high ankle sprain. Ian Hartitz notes the historical pattern of players downplaying injuries in-game due to adrenaline, only to discover severity the following Monday. Additionally, Moore got 61 yards early in the game with a 32-yard gain on blown coverage, but Hartitz has not been drafting Moore much this year and is not letting one preseason play change his opinion, though he acknowledges Joe Brady's offense may unlock Moore in ways Ben Johnson's did not. Hartitz cautions against overreacting to one preseason highlight; Moore is Josh Allen's number one receiver and a round-five caliber pick, but his declining production over the past two years and age (29) warrant measured expectations.NegativeBustAug 16, 2026
Ian Hartitz identifies DJ Moore as a 'wash' candidate, citing a significant decline in efficiency; Moore dropped from 15th in yards per route run in 2023 to 44th out of 47 qualified receivers in 2025, with his fantasy points per game falling from WR9 to WR44. Hartitz expresses significant concern about drafting him, noting more downs than ups in recent performance and projecting a lower-end WR3 finish (WR35-36) due to the Bears' 'everybody eats' offensive philosophy. Despite an affordable round 5-6 price tag, Hartitz is reluctant to draft him, fearing he is past his prime and failing to secure a clear-cut WR1 role.PositiveValueAug 12, 2026
DJ Moore is highlighted as a strong wide receiver option going at the round five to six turn, representing good value in that range for late-draft-position teams.PositiveValueAug 7, 2026
Ian Hartitz notes that DJ Moore has historically dealt with poor quarterback play, drawing a comparison to the career track record of Andre Johnson. Despite these challenges, Hartitz now prefers Moore over Terry McLaurin in his updated wide receiver rankings.PositiveRoleNo date
Bills acquisition provides a ceiling upgrade over the prior receiver group; Moore is a clear improvement over the post-knee-injury version of Gabe Davis and strengthens a Bills offense that has ranked 6th, 2nd, and 4th in scoring over the past three years. However, Ian Hartitz has some questions about how good the pass-catcher group is overall and whether Moore reaches prime Stefon Diggs levels this year.PositiveBustNo date
Ian Hartitz expresses a lack of enthusiasm for DJ Moore as a draft target, grouping him with Christian Wilson and Carl Tate as receivers he has not been a huge fan of.NegativeBustNo date
Ian Hartitz fades DJ Moore as the Bills' WR1 (ADP WR25-27, end of round 5-6) despite the Joe Brady reunion. Core concerns: (1) Ben Johnson couldn't figure out DJ Moore in Chicago despite being one of the NFL's brightest offensive minds, suggesting systemic fit issues unresolved by the move; (2) Caleb Williams' completion percentage was fine, but the underlying issue was DJ Moore giving up on routes and lacking timing—problems that don't disappear in Buffalo's system; (3) DJ Moore has been useless in fantasy for two years with declining efficiency numbers; (4) Josh Allen's scrambling ability doesn't solve the route-running and timing issues; (5) Buffalo's receivers outside Kalo Shakur have been useless despite the "everyone eats" mantra; (6) Buffalo runs the ball very well and won't change their offensive identity for a year-nine receiver; (7) Hartitz explicitly rejects the Stefon Diggs comparison as insulting to prime Diggs. Hartitz prefers RBs like Roman Dunay, DeAndre Swift, David Montgomery, Jadarian Price, and Luther Burden at similar ADP.PositiveRoleNo date
There is a question about whether DJ Moore will bring the Bills' passing game up a notch with Josh Allen and Joe Brady.
