I mean, it’s gotta be better than Darnold, right?
What all has changed? I must admit I've never had Moore on my fantasy teams, so I'm sure I'm not informed. I don't think Mayfield and Darnold are that much help.
Mayfield is much better than Darnold and/or PJ Walker and/or washed up Cam Newton (the three QBs from last season).
I've coveted Moore for some time, and I'd tend to agree with both you and Dr. Octopus. I think, like Doc says, that Mayfield is much better than Darnold or Walker and Newton, but he's not good enough to carry Moore to his expected value and point total.
Fun stat - The only WR to surpass 1150 yards in each of the last 3 seasons is... DJ Moore
Another fun stat -- he's got four touchdowns each of the last three years. That's...not good.
Another fun stat - no WR has been more consistent over the last 3 seasons in the TD department!
2021 - CAR's 3 sad excuses for QB's combine for 14 TD's. None of the 3 reach 60% completion rate, and all have more INT's than TD's. Still, he accounts for 29% of the team TD total. Put him on any of the top 8 TD passing teams and he is in double digits.
I think so - he’s proven he can consistently produce with even lesser QBs than Baker. Just don’t see a higher ceiling than what we’ve witnessed the last few years.
There is no doubt about it. I want Darnold back. Darnold is better.
Unfortuante that he signed a contract extension. Had to look it up to see if he would be eligble for free agency next year. Bummer
We will all bench him and he will go off.Welcome to the bench young man. I had high hopes for him this year
I'm hoping against Arizona that Baker has to throw a lot, but not banking on it.We will all bench him and he will go off.Welcome to the bench young man. I had high hopes for him this year
Only for the scientific reason that this is how my 0-3 fantasy season works.
Right there with you. It's funny, I have Russ as my QB, and I feel the exact same way about both of them. I believe in the talent and still think they can put it together by later in the season, but for now they're both going to my bench until they show me something. In my case I'm going with Diontae/Olave/GWilson over Moore (and Goff over Russ)
Take a look at what Davante Adams did week 2 and Cooper Kupp week 3 against the AZ defense. They might sell out to stop the #1 WR. Then the question is does Moore qualify as a #1 WR?
I think you know the answer to that question. There’s a difference between kupp/adams and Moore. Their qb actually likes them and tries to force the offense through those wide receivers. Teams saw it in the week 1 tape of both teams and challenged them to beat them without their best player.
Rhule said Darnold won't be back this week, but could be back the following week. If Baker lays one more egg, that could be it for him.
Im probably dropping him this week. Hes worthless with Baker and Darnold is still out awhile. Sucks gonna drop 2 of my first 4 picks in one week (Javonte the other one).
Walker has 2 starts the in the last 2 seasons.
The only real boost will come from running a modern offense that doesn’t involve force-feeding McCaffrey every single play. A modern NFL offense has to throw the ball downfield periodically. Moore is a good WR. He needs to see more than 4 targets per game.
I know you are probably exaggerating to make a point, but Moore has more targets than McCaffrey this year.
That was a very premature drop IMO - I'd grab Moore as soon as possible.
That seems a tad rash even if this season is a waste.
agreed. I was pretty shocked to see that hit the transactions. I mean if you are just over him fine but you can get something for him in trade on name value alone.
Ravens would be terrible for his value
