Moore caught his lone target for 28 yards during Sunday's 28-21 win over the Chiefs.
Moore appeared to be in line for more opportunities in Week 9 with Joshua Palmer (knee) sidelined for the second consecutive game. However, the Ole Miss product operated as the team's No. 5 wideout, playing behind Keon Coleman, Khalil Shakir, Tyrell Shavers and Curtis Samuel. Through seven appearances this season, Moore has caught six of 12 targets for 106 yards and rushed five times for 25 yards and a touchdown. He'll likely continue to play a depth role in Buffalo's receiving corps in the Week 10 matchup against the Dolphins.

Bills' Elijah Moore: No. 3 receiver again Sunday
Rotowire
Moore is slated to work as the No. 3 receiver in Sunday's Week 9 matchup against the Chiefs due to Joshua Palmer being ruled inactive due to a knee injury.
Moore worked in a No. 3 capacity in a Week 8 blowout win over the Panthers, bringing in one of four targets for 14 yards across 29 snaps. With Sunday's game expected to be much more competitive and Josh Allen potentially pushed into a higher pass rate than usual, Moore, who has a 5-78-0 line on 11 targets over his first six games in Buffalo, could be a beneficiary as a tertiary option in the air attack.

Bills' Elijah Moore: Draws four targets in Week 8
Rotowire
Moore caught one of four targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 40-9 win over the Panthers.
With Joshua Palmer (knee) sidelined in Week 8, Moore had an expanded offensive role and logged his second-highest snap count of the season (29 offensive snaps). The Ole Miss product has now caught five of 11 targets for 78 yards and rushed five times for 25 yards and a touchdown across six appearances this year. He may be in line for another increased role in the Week 9 matchup against the Chiefs if Palmer remains out.

Bills' Elijah Moore: Mistake-prone Week 6
Rotowire
Moore failed to catch either of his two targets in Monday night's loss to the Falcons.
With Curtis Samuel (neck) inactive and Joshua Palmer (ankle) going down in the first half, Moore saw increased action on offense, totaling 14 snaps. However, he was unable to corral either target and also muffed a handoff on a fourth-and-short jet sweep. Moore has five catches for 25 yards and one touchdown on seven targets this season.

Bills' Elijah Moore: Active against Atlanta
Rotowire
Moore is active for Monday night's game against the Falcons.
Moore was healthy inactive in the Week 5 Sunday night loss to New England, but with Curtis Samuel (neck) out Monday night, Moore will draw back into the lineup. Moore has four catches for 64 scoreless yards this season.

Bills' Elijah Moore: Inactive Sunday
Rotowire
Moore (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday night's contest against the Patriots.
Moore will be a healthy scratch in Week 5, heading to the bench after failing to garner a target over 18 offensive snaps in the team's 31-19 win over the Saints in Week 4. The wide receiver has caught four of five targets for 64 yards, while also adding 25 yards and a score over five carries, through four games this season.

Bills' Elijah Moore: Catches two passes in TNF victory
Rotowire
Moore caught two of three targets for 30 yards in Buffalo's 31-21 win over the Dolphins on Thursday night. He added one rush for 11 yards.
Moore operated as the Bills' WR4 against Miami, seeing 14 offensive snaps. Buffalo spreads the ball around so much that it's nearly impossible to predict target shares for the team's pass catchers. Moore is little more than an end-of-bench option in the deepest of PPR fantasy leagues.

Bills' Elijah Moore: Three touches in win
Rotowire
Moore caught his lone target for 31 yards and carried the ball twice for six yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-10 win over the Jets.
Moore followed up his quiet season opener with a better statistical day Sunday, finding the end zone for the first time this season. With that said, the veteran wideout was still mostly an afterthought in the Bills offensive scheme, as he was targeted just once in the passing game while playing just 40 percent of Buffalo's offensive snaps. Moore's limited role in the offense makes him very difficult to trust for fantasy purposes heading into a Week 2 matchup against the Dolphins.

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: 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: 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.
