The addition of Anderson hasn’t helped him. Might bench this week in favour of Lazard. Hes gotten 26 targets in 3 games, 9 targets per game. 144 target pace. I will take that all day and twice on Sunday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Last year he got 135 targets from Kyle Allen, I expect him to finish around the same as a middle of the pack WR2. The biggest problem is that he was going ahead of a lot of the WR in the draft who have gone off are in the overall top scoring so far heading in to week 4. Lots of time left but there’s reason to be skeptical. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JE7HorseGod 2,601 Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 I hate everything about owning this player. I curse the fantasy gods that Mike Evans never fell to me and myself that I didn't have the balls to take Ridley. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He had four targets last week, two just happened to be tds. 1 catch week 1 and it was a td. Talk about fluky. Give me DJM all day, even with Godwin being out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
drisser 420 Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 I would love to have this guy. He's getting fed targets, and he's healthy. With the way WR is shaping up this year it's hard to complain about that. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jpark211 275 Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 (edited) I definitely think better days are ahead. The first week clearly showed that he wasn't on the same page with Teddy Bridgewater. The second week showed what he's really capable of. The third week was a weird game script which shouldn't be the norm for the Panthers this season. This coming week should be telling. Kyler Murray and Hopkins will most likely put up a ton of points. If DJ Moore still isn't commanding the lion's share of the targets and being productive with them, I may cut bait and move on.

Yes, but that was with gunslinger Jameis in town, tossing the ball willy-nilly all over the field. Little different offense with TB in town. Mike's barely got 100 yards through three games.

In what world can you cut a guy in his third year coming off a 1200 yard season three games into the season haha? Like, who are you cutting him for? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lots of time left but there’s reason to be skeptical. I mean we can play that game all day long. Sure you could of had Ridley, AROB, Amari Cooper or Evans (who is greatly benefitting from Godwin's injury and is extremely TD dependent). However, lets look at other guys picked around DJ Moore and tell me if you rather have them over DJ. Godwin? OBJ? Golloday? Sutton? Kittle? Kupp basically doing the same as DJ Moore? AJ Brown? Ju Ju? TD dependent McClaurin- same stats as DJ Woods? similar stats as DJ Thielen- Heavily td dependent (but I like him more than ) As you said it is early and they will be behind ALOT in that division. He plays almost every snap (88% last week), he will be fine as in a top 15 wr. Edited September 30, 2020 by nmartinez12443 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Like, who are you cutting him for? Trading him for another WR, that's what I meant. Human psychology is interesting in that people tend to be really tied to history which creates a lot of bias. I try to see what's presented in the current situation, assess the pros/cons and ultimately make an informed decision regarding the future. Isn't that what FFB is about? It's been a flukey season for sure but so far the results don't look great given where a lot of people drafted him. There were a lot of risks given the new QB, coaching staff, etc. But you know what, sometimes you just gotta cut your losses and move on to greener pastures if your investment doesn't pan out. Im willing to give this guy another week in what is expected to be negative game scrip for the Panthers. If he still doesn't produce, that should sound alarms (at least in my book). Because some people still think highly of him given his performance last season, he should still have some value which should result in a not too bad trade in case he doesn't perform. That's just my thinking here, take it how you will. Edited September 30, 2020 by jpark211 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lattimore didn't blank him like he did last year but still got the better of him, and he's been recovering from the hamstring. If it's a question of QBs, I'd take Brady all day over Bridgewater.

AlexxelA 129 Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 don't know what to do w/ this guy going forward. they always say he's 15-20th wr, i think he needs to be a mid wr3 for now which is flex maybe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ponchsox 1,800 Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 I'd guess there won't be a lot of 4-0 or 3-1 teams with DJ Moore on it after this week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
