Instant Fantasy Analysis - WR D.J. Moore, Panthers

Recommended Posts

The Panthers traded Kelvin Benjamin during the 2017 season in part because they wanted to improve the speed they had at receiver. Mission accomplished. Moore is probably the closest thing to a potential WR1 as there is in this draft. He played with eight different quarterbacks in three seasons at Maryland, so cut the kid some slack if his college numbers don't jump off the page. Moore is a 6-0 receiver who boasts a 40-inch vertical who runs 4.4, but he also presents a bit of a dilemma. On one hand, he is a nightmare for defenses because he is a freaky athlete who has no fear running routes over the middle and becomes a running back in the open field with his ability to break tackles. On the other hand, the aforementioned explosiveness seems to disappear on deeper routes and 50-50 balls against respectable competition. Moore is a work in progress as a route-runner, but he is a physical receiver who will generate yards after the catch. He's not a great bet to make a huge impact right away, but I expect him to become a WR1 in time. He figures to be a high-upside WR4 for redraft fantasy purposes and will likely go in the middle part of the first round in most rookie drafts.

Great spot for him when it comes to ff.

 

Based on who the other WRs on the Panthers are, he could become their wr1 quickly.

I own devin funchess in a keeper league and He Gone. I think DJ Moore ends up as the alpha dog of that bunch. Runs every route on the tree with killer hands

Hawk Harrelson in the house

Was a honorary bat boy for a day and met Fisk, Thomas, Guillen, Raines, Ventura. Got a baseball with all there names on it. Way to pick up the reference.

Moore will start and be targeted 90+ times. With a catch % around 60% that is 55-65 catches. Average targeted yards around 10.

 

Conservatively 60-875-6. Stays healthy all season, 80-1200-9 is top.

 

While Moore isn't a true deep threat, yet, Newton's ability to extend plays will give him time to get into space. Moore is an amazing open field runner. As good as anyone.

That sounds pretty cool. Not a bad group of players right there.

I feel the same, though I expect conservative side of your projections for year 1.
