Moore joined the Bills in the offseason and will be part of a dogfight for targets from Josh Allen. There isn't a true No. 1 on the roster, which provides hope, but he'll have to overcome at least two of of Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, Josh Palmer, and Curtis Samuel if he is going to have any Fantasy value. For now you can likely leave Moore on the waiver wire in all but the deepest of leagues. If buzz starts building about Moore's rapport with Allen in camp, that may change.
Bills' Elijah Moore: Three catches in preseason finale
Rotowire
Moore brought in three of four targets for eight yards in the Bills' 23-19 preseason win over the Buccaneers on Saturday night.
Moore started the game for the Bills and worked with fourth-string quarterback Shane Buechele, recording multiple receptions for the first time this preseason. The 2021 second-round pick of the Jets is expected to play an important complementary role in his debut campaign in Buffalo after compiling 120 receptions over 34 regular-season games with the Browns the last two years, with Moore likely to open the season as the No. 4 receiver.

Bills' Elijah Moore: Struggles with four targets
Rotowire
Moore had one reception on four targets for five yards in Sunday's preseason loss to the Bears.
Moore struggled to get on the same page with Buffalo's backup quarterbacks Sunday, finishing with a poor catch rate in the preseason loss. The 25-year-old is looking to nab one of the Bills' vacant backup WR spots after performing well in that role previously with the Jets and Browns. Moore appears to be fully over the leg injury that plagued him earlier in camp as Buffalo prepares to face Tampa Bay in its final preseason game Saturday.

Bills' Elijah Moore: Practicing Thursday
Rotowire
Moore (leg) is participating in Thursday's practice, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
Moore had sat out practices since Sunday due to leg soreness, but as foreshadowed by GM Brandon Beane on Wednesday, he's now back on the field and taking reps. The Bills have a solidified No. 1 receiver in Khalil Shakir, and 2024 second-round pick Keon Coleman seems like the favorite for the No. 2 role, but beyond that Moore faces opportunity, with Joshua Palmer and Curtis Samuel (hamstring) representing his top competition. Moore quietly compiled over 100 targets in each of the last two years, both while suiting up for all 17 regular-season games in Cleveland.

Bills' Elijah Moore: Could practice this week
Rotowire
Bills GM Brandon Beane said Wednesday that Moore (leg) may be able to resume practicing Thursday or Friday, Ryan O'Halloran of The Buffalo News reports.
Moore hasn't practiced since Sunday due to general leg soreness, but it doesn't appear Buffalo anticipates him being sidelined much longer. The 2021 second-round pick inked a one-year, $5 million deal with the Bills in May and appears to be competing for the No. 3 or No. 4 receiver role, though Buffalo's WR corps isn't particularly solidified beyond No. 1 option Khalil Shakir. Meanwhile, Beane said Curtis Samuel (hamstring) could return "sooner rather than later," albeit not as quickly as Moore.

Browns' Elijah Moore: Limited production in finale
Rotowire
Moore recorded three receptions on five targets for 36 yards in Saturday's 35-10 loss to the Ravens.
Moore served as Cleveland's third pass catcher, but with poor quarterback play, that didn't amount to much production. He ends the season in disappointing fashion, having failed to top 35 receiving yards in five consecutive games. Nevertheless, Moore did set a career high with 61 catches on the season, and he'll be set to enter free agency for the first time this offseason.

Browns' Elijah Moore: Another forgettable game
Rotowire
Moore caught one of five targets for one yard in Sunday's 20-3 loss to Miami in Week 17.
Following a brief spasm of production in the middle of the season, when Jameis Winston took over as the starting quarterback, Moore has provided little of late. He's caught five of 15 targets for 21 yards over the last three games, with Dorian Thompson-Robinson atop the depth chart. The lack of production comes at a time when both Cedric Tillman (concussion) and David Njoku (knee) were inactive or limited by injury.

Browns' Elijah Moore: Two catches in Week 16 loss
Rotowire
Moore secured two of five targets for 21 yards in the Browns' 24-6 loss to the Bengals on Sunday.
Dorian Thompson-Robinson's ascension to the starting quarterback job didn't really do any Browns pass catchers any favors with the exception of David Njoku, as is evident in Moore's pedestrian receiving line. The fourth-year pro actually outpaced Jerry Jeudy, who'd been on a torrid pace with Jameis Winston (shoulder) under center, by two targets and one receiving yard Sunday, but that didn't amount to any tangible fantasy value. Moore could be headed to even more unremarkable numbers in Week 17 when the Dolphins come to town, due both to Miami's talented secondary and the fact Cedric Tillman (concussion) may be ready to return to action.

Browns' Elijah Moore: Forgettable stat line in loss
Rotowire
Moore secured two of six targets for minus-1 yard in the Browns' 21-7 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.
Moore finished second in targets on the afternoon for the Browns, but as his final line demonstrates, he did less than nothing the two times he secured catches. Cleveland suffered from highly ineffective quarterback play Sunday with Jameis Winston and Dorian Thompson-Robinson throwing a combined four interceptions, leaving the team's other pass catchers outside of Jerry Jeudy from capitalizing on the absences of Cedric Tillman (concussion) and David Njoku (hamstring). Moore will likely revert to his No. 3 receiver role in a Week 16 road matchup against the Bengals if Tillman is cleared to suit up.

Browns' Elijah Moore: Limited to three catches
Rotowire
Moore recorded three receptions on four targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 27-14 loss to the Steelers.
Moore was expected to benefit from condensed targets in the absence of Cedric Tillman (concussion). That wasn't the case against the Steelers, however, as Jameis Winston targeted seven different pass catchers multiple times. That left Moore with a mediocre line, and he's now had 35 or fewer receiving yards in two of his last four games.

Browns' Elijah Moore: Sleeper WRs
Rotowire
Moore has played five games with Jameis Winston and has at least eight targets in four of them, with the lone exception of the Week 12 game in the snow against Pittsburgh. He also scored at least 16.5 PPR points in three of those outings, and he's a borderline starter in all leagues in Week 14 in the rematch with the Steelers since six teams are on a bye, especially if Cedric Tillman (concussion) remains out. Pittsburgh has allowed four receivers in the past two games to score at least 12.5 PPR points, which bodes well for Moore and Jerry Jeudy in Week 14.

Browns' Elijah Moore: Turns in full practice
Rotowire
Moore (shoulder) was a full practice participant Thursday.
The Browns listed Moore as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report, but the wideout cleared up any concern about his health by taking every rep a day later. Moore tied or set season highs in receptions (eight), receiving yards (114) and targets (14) in the Browns' Week 13 loss to the Broncos, and he could be in store for another busy day Sunday in Pittsburgh. Cedric Tillman (concussion) has yet to take part in practice this week and looks to be trending toward a second straight absence, which would leave more looks in the passing game available for Moore and Jerry Jeudy.

Browns' Elijah Moore: Listed with minor shoulder injury
Rotowire
Moore was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report due to a shoulder injury, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
The Browns listed Moore with a shoulder injury on their Week 12 report but not in Week 13. He continued to thrive with Jameis Winston directing the offense in Monday's 41-32 loss to the Broncos, establishing season highs for receiving yards (111) and targets (14). Moore is averaging 5.6 catches for 62.2 yards on 9.6 targets in Winston's starts, albeit with just one touchdown in five games. A Week 14 matchup with the Steelers could be another busy game for Moore and Jerry Jeudy, especially if fellow starting wideout Cedric Tillman (concussion) misses a second straight game.

Browns' Elijah Moore: Second 100-yard game of career
Rotowire
Moore brought in eight of 14 targets for 111 yards in the Browns' 41-32 loss to the Broncos on Monday night. He also rushed once for one yard.
With Cedric Tillman (concussion) unavailable, Moore stepped up to produce his first 100-yard effort since Week 11 of his 2021 rookie season with the Jets. The veteran wideout has posted his three best receiving yardage totals of the season with Jameis Winston as his quarterback, as Monday night's effort was preceded by 85- and 66-yard tallies in Weeks 8 and 11, respectively. If Tillman remains sidelined for Sunday's Week 14 road rematch with the Steelers, Moore could play another significant role in that divisional clash.

Browns' Elijah Moore: Week 13 Adds (WR Preview)
Rotowire
Moore was a big disappointment in Week 12, but if Cedric Tillman is out, he could be a great option in Week 13. Slot wide receivers are exactly the type of receivers who have found success against the Broncos, and Moore will benefit greatly if Patrick Surtain takes away Jerry Jeudy. Since Jameis Winston took over, Moore has two games with more than 16 Fantasy points and two games with fewer than six.

Browns' Elijah Moore: No injury designation
Rotowire
Moore (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Thursday's game against the Steelers, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Moore came out of Sunday's loss at New Orleans with a shoulder injury that was apparently minor. His volume and production both have spiked since Jameis Winston took over as Cleveland's starting quarterback beginning in Week 8, but Moore's fantasy outlook for Week 12 is subdued by a matchup with Pittsburgh's excellent defense as well as forecasts of poor weather in Cleveland on Thursday.

Browns' Elijah Moore: Stays limited on practice report
Rotowire
The Browns listed Moore (shoulder) as a limited practice participant Tuesday.
Moore has now gone down as a limited participant on the Browns' first two Week 12 injury reports, but the team hasn't yet suggested that he's in any danger of missing Thursday's game against the Steelers. The fourth-year wideout has enjoyed his best run of production of the season since Jameis Winston took over as the starting quarterback, recording 17 receptions for 179 yards and a touchdown on 29 targets over the past three contests.

Browns' Elijah Moore: Week 12 Adds (WR Preview)
Rotowire
Moore was my top add of last week, and he's still only 19% rostered. I would expect that will go up after he scored 18.6 PPR Fantasy points against the Saints. Moore has 29 targets over his last three games, and he's scored at least 16.5 PPR Fantasy points in two of those. All three of Moore, Jerry Jeudy, and Cedric Tillman are startable with Jameis Winston under center.

Browns' Elijah Moore: Week 12 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Moore has thrived with Jameis Winston under center for the past three games, including a season-high 18.6 PPR points in Week 11 at New Orleans. That's now two of his past three outings with at least 16.5 PPR points, and he has 29 combined targets in all three starts for Winston (at least eight targets in each contest). The Browns have three receivers making plenty of plays for Winston with Moore, Jerry Jeudy and Cedric Tillman, and not all three will post consistent stats. And Cleveland has a tough schedule coming up with Pittsburgh twice (Weeks 12 and 14), Denver (Week 13) and Kansas City (Week 15). But Moore is clearly going to get plenty of targets from Winston, and he's worth adding in all leagues for at least 10 percent of your remaining FAB.

Browns' Elijah Moore: Appears on Week 12 injury report
Rotowire
The Browns listed Moore as a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report due to a shoulder injury, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Cleveland didn't hold a practice session one day after Sunday's 35-14 loss to New Orleans, but Moore would have had his reps capped had the Browns taken the field. The Browns aren't likely to hold anything more than walk-through sessions or light practices Tuesday and Wednesday, but assuming Moore is listed as either a limited or full participant on those days, he should be ready to play in Thursday's game against the Steelers. In the three games since Jameis Winston has taken over for Deshaun Watson (Achilles) as the Browns' starting quarterback, Moore has produced a 17-179-1 line on 29 targets, with his yardage total exceeding his combined output (136 yards) from Cleveland's first seven games of the season.

Browns' Elijah Moore: Finds end zone in New Orleans
Rotowire
Moore caught six of eight targets for 66 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-14 loss to the Saints,
The fourth-year wideout was on the other end of a 30-yard Jameis Winston TD in the third quarter, giving Moore his first score of the season. In three games with Winston as the Browns' starting QB, Moore has racked up a 17-179-1 line on 29 targets, giving him intriguing upside for the rest of 2024. He faces a tougher matchup in Week 12 against the Steelers, however.
