No injury designation
Moore (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Thursday's game against the Steelers, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: 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.

Stays limited on practice report
The Browns listed Moore (shoulder) as a limited practice participant Tuesday.
Analysis: 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.

Appears on Week 12 injury report
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.
Analysis: 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…read more

Finds end zone in New Orleans
Moore caught six of eight targets for 66 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-14 loss to the Saints,
Analysis: 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.

Lots of targets, few catches
Moore caught three of nine targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Chargers.
Analysis: Moore has received healthy target volume the last three weeks, averaging nine per contest, and he's amassed 154 yards during that stretch. That increased workload was expected after the Browns traded Amari Cooper (wrist), but so far Moore hasn't capitalized. Outside of a few random efforts during his 26-game stay in Cleveland, he's been unremarkable. The wide receiver is in the final year of a two-year contract and could be a candidate to be dealt with the NFL trade deadline looming Tuesday.

Target leader in win
Moore caught eight of 12 targets for 81 yards in Sunday's 29-24 win over the Ravens in Week 8.
Analysis: Moore established season highs in catches, targets and yards, and he wasn't the only receiver to benefit from Jameis Winston taking over at quarterback for the injured Deshaun Watson (Achilles). Winston wasn't perfect -- he lost a fumble and two passes could easily have been intercepted -- but he guided the offense to its most points scored this season and made onlookers wonder what could have been had head coach Kevin Stefanski replaced Watson sooner. Moore has 14 catches on 18 targets for 122…read more

Seven targets in loss
Moore caught six of seven targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 21-14 loss to Cincinnati in Week 7.
Analysis: The last time Moore saw activity as significant as this was in Week 2. Sunday was the Browns' first game since they traded Amari Cooper to Buffalo, and Moore was expected to see more opportunities. In fact, Sunday's production was greater than his previous three weeks combined. That's the good news. The not-so-good news is that second-year wideout Cedric Tillman (12 targets, eight catches) emerged as a viable competitor for the available targets going forward, and quarterback Deshaun Watson…read more

Not on injury report
Moore (rib) doesn't appear on the Browns' initial Week 7 injury report that was released Wednesday.
Analysis: Per Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com, head coach Kevin Stefanski said after Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Eagles that Moore was dealing with a rib issue, but the injury is evidently not a concern for the wideout as this weekend's contest against the Bengals approaches. Through six games to date, Moore has caught 16 of his 23 targets for 95 yards, but he could see added opportunities in Cleveland's offense moving forward following the departure of Amari Cooper, who led the team with 53 targets prior to…read more

Dealing with rib issue
Following Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Eagles, coach Kevin Stefanski noted that Moore is dealing with a rib injury, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Moore finished up the contest with one catch for three yards. Look for added context regarding the wideout's injury to arrive no later than Wednesday, but if he's out or limited next weekend against the Bengals, Cedric Tillman would be a candidate for added Week 6 snaps.

Four targets in loss
Moore caught three of four targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 34-13 loss to Washington.
Analysis: Moore continued to be a distant third at wide receiver behind Amari Cooper and Jerry Jeudy, This was the fourth time in five games that Moore had 17 receiving yards or fewer. The one bright note is that he got his first red-zone target of the season. He has just 92 yards through five weeks, eight targets over the last three games, and a meager 4.5 aDOT.

One touch in loss
Moore caught his lone target for 11 yards in Sunday's 20-16 loss to Las Vegas.
Analysis: Moore's touch came on the Browns' first drive -- perhaps their best of the season -- and converted a 3rd-and-10. That was the end of his involvement, however. He opened the season with 14 targets over the first two weeks, but Moore has lagged behind Amari Cooper and Jerry Jeudy and been targeted just four times the last two games. Until the Browns can get their erratic offense going -- Cleveland has yet to score more than 20 points in a game, and the defense was responsible for one of its four…read more

Season-low three targets
Moore caught two of three targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 21-15 loss to the Giants.
Analysis: For the second time in three games, Moore was held to fewer than 20 yards. His one productive effort was in Week 2's win over the Jaguars, when the Browns showed a more balanced offense, though far from a highly functioning unit. That side of the ball is a growing concern early on. Cleveland hasn't yet cracked the 20-point mark, and head coach Kevin Stefanski appears reluctant to establish the ground game behind a banged-up offensive line. Quarterback Deshaun Watson has also disappointed. Moore…read more

Commands eight targets
Moore recorded six receptions on eight targets for 44 yards in Sunday's 18-13 win over the Jaguars.
Analysis: Moore tied with Amari Cooper for the team lead in targets, and he served as Deshaun Watson's favorite target in the short areas of the field. Five of his six catches went for fewer than 10 yards, and even his 22-yard reception came primarily after the catch. Moore will remain involved in the offense so long as Watson is under center, but he's not likely to post high yardage totals.

Quiet in season opener
Moore caught three of six targets for nine yards in Sunday's 33-17 loss to Dallas in Week 1.
Analysis: Moore played 71 snaps, a comparable workload to Amari Cooper (72) and Jerry Jeudy (62). None of the three had great success in the opener as the Cleveland offensive line failed to protect Deshaun Watson, but Jeudy was able to salvage his fantasy day with a touchdown. At the very least, it looks like Moore is the No. 3 wideout ahead of Cedric Tillman (26 snaps). It's early in Moore's second season with the Browns, and he hasn't had the luxury of playing with the best version of Watson, but…read more

Draws start in preseason finale
Moore secured his only target for seven yards and rushed once for one yard in the Browns' 37-33 preseason loss to the Seahawks on Saturday night.
Analysis: The veteran speedster drew the start due to Amari Cooper and Jerry Jeudy sitting out and was able to get some preseason action before heading into Week 1 as the likely No. 3 receiver behind his two teammates. Moore battled through a quarterback carousel in his 2023 Browns debut campaign to post a career-best 59 receptions and 640 yards, adding two touchdowns, 11 rushing yards and 23 punt-return yards across 17 regular-season contests. Moore could be headed for similar production in 2024,…read more

Back at practice
Moore (concussion) participated in team drills Tuesday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: Moore had been working through the concussion protocol, but the wideout is back in action and could potentially see some snaps in Saturday's preseason opener against the Packers. As the roster currently stands, Moore, Cedric Tillman, David Bell and Jamari Thrash are competing for snaps and targets behind Amari Cooper and Jerry Jeudy.

In concussion protocol
Moore is working his way through concussion protocol, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Analysis: Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski didn't specify that Moore has a concussion, so it's possible that his placement in protocol is precautionary.

It remains to be seen if he'll be ready to play in Cleveland's first preseason game against Green Bay on Saturday, Aug. 10.

Focused on WR
The Browns will have Moore focus his preparation as a wide receiver after last season's hybrid role didn't work out, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Analysis: In 2023, the team used Moore out of the backfield in addition to his duties as a wide receiver, but the coaches eventually abandoned the idea. He lined up 23 times in the backfield over the first five games (eight carries, 11 yards) then just six times over the final 12 games. It was clear the hybrid role hurt his production as both a runner and receiver.

Joined by Jeudy in Cleveland
Moore is one of three Browns wide receivers entering a contract year, along with Amari Cooper and recent acquisition Jerry Jeudy, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Analysis: The Browns traded for Moore last offseason and installed him in a significant role, but his 903 snaps and 104 targets led to just 640 yards and two touchdowns. While poor QB play was a part of that, Cooper and TE David Njoku produced much better efficiency stats in the same offense and are now joined by Jeudy as another threat to take a significant chunk of the targets. Moore may have missed his breakout opportunity, and it isn't entirely out of the question that David Bell or Cedric Tillman…read more

Quiet in playoff loss
Moore caught both of his targets for 12 yards in Saturday's 45-14 wild-card playoff loss to Houston.
Analysis: Moore had a quiet day in the playoff loss, which mirrored his first season in a Cleveland uniform. He was on the field for 63 plays (89 percent share) Saturday, but any impactful plays were made by others. For the regular season, Moore had 59 receptions on 104 targets, 640 yards and two touchdowns. The Browns also used him as a runner nine times and as a punt returner, following through on a preseason plan to feature Moore as a versatile weapon. However, the wide receiver rarely was a factor in…read more

Active for Week 18
Moore (concussion) is active for Sunday's game against the Bengals.
Analysis: The Browns' decision to keep Moore active seemingly implies that he's cleared concussion protocol, despite not having turned in a full practice at any point this past week. Even if that's the case, Moore isn't certain to take on his usual starting role, and it's possible he's held out of the contest entirely.

Questionable, yet to clear protocol
Moore (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Analysis: Per Petrak, coach Kevin Stefanski said Friday that Moore is still in the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, but the receiver is trending in the right direction. The Browns are locked into the No. 5 seed in the AFC regardless of Sunday's result, so they will likely lean on the side of caution if there's any doubt about Moore's readiness after he exited last Thursday's win over the Jets due to a concussion.

Analysis: Moore suffered the concussion in last Thursday's win over the Jets and spent the evening in the hospital for evaluation. His ability to get back on the practice field in any capacity Wednesday represents a sign of progress as he navigates the five-step concussion protocol, but even if he clears the protocol ahead of Sunday's game against the Bengals, he may not be guaranteed to play this weekend with the Browns having already secured a wild-card spot.

The extent of Moore's participation in practice won't be known until the Browns post their first official Week 18 injury report later Wednesday.

He eventually walked off under his own power, and it's encouraging that Moore subsequently has left the hospital, though it's no surprise that he suffered a concussion.

Analysis: Moore was held to under 20 receiving yards for the second consecutive game and fourth time this season. Cleveland's passing game with Joe Flacco at quarterback has become all about Amari Cooper and David Njoku, although Moore has a healthy 98 targets (third on team) over 15 games.

Moore caught two of three targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Bears in Week 15.
Analysis: Moore, who's had a mini resurgence with Joe Flacco under center, was barely noticeable in the Browns' comeback win. Both the targets and yards were his second fewest of the season. Moore entered the contest averaging four catches on eight targets for 55 yards over the previous five weeks. Amari Cooper and David Njoku are clearly Flacco's top options, but Moore is also competing for looks with rookie Cedric Tillman, who garnered four catches for 52 yards on eight targets Sunday.

He did have a role in Cleveland's final touchdown, when two Jacksonville defenders followed his crossing route, which left David Bell alone for a 41-yard touchdown catch.

May move into pivotal role Week 14
Moore could emerge as Cleveland's top wideout Sunday against Jacksonville with Amari Cooper's (concussion) status uncertain for the Week 14 contest, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Moore had his best game of the season against the Rams in Week 13, as he turned in a 4-83-0 receiving line on a season-high 12 targets. Those 12 targets went for 255 air yards, as Cooper's absence coupled with the presence of a strong-armed veteran quarterback in Joe Flacco -- who played with Moore on the Jets in the previous two seasons -- resulted in Moore garnering more downfield looks. If Cooper is unable to clear the five-step concussion protocol this week, Moore should be locked in as the…read more

Moore caught four of 12 targets for 83 yards in Sunday's 36-19 loss to the Rams.
Analysis: The third-year wideout emerged as Joe Flacco's favorite target after Amari Cooper (concussion) left the game in the second quarter. He and Flacco have a brief history together when the two played for the Jets in 2021 and 2022. While Moore wasn't efficient with his looks, he still set a new season high in receiving yards.

Does little with targets Sunday
Moore caught three of nine targets for 44 yards in Sunday's 29-12 loss to the Broncos.
Analysis: He tied tight end David Njoku for the lead in targets among Browns players, but Moore finished only fourth in catches and third in receiving yards. The former Jet has yet to top 60 receiving yards in a game for his new squad and has only one TD in 11 contests, and Cleveland's uncertain QB situation -- rookie starter Dorian Thompson-Robinson (concussion) was replaced by PJ Walker in the third quarter -- leaves Moore with little fantasy appeal heading into a Week 13 clash with the Rams.

Analysis: In a defensive affair, Moore led all pass catchers from either side with a season-high 60 receiving yards, including a 15-yard grab from rookie quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson that kicked off the drive that led to the game-winning field goal. Sunday's game plan in the absence of Deshaun Watson (shoulder) called for a lot of short passes, which benefited Moore out of the slot, and the usual reliance on the running backs.

First touchdown with Browns
Moore recorded five receptions on seven targets for 44 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 33-31 win over the Ravens.
Analysis: Moore has at least seven targets in six of nine games this season, yet he has topped 50 yards just once. However, he recorded his highest reception total since Week 3 and also managed his first touchdown of the campaign on a 10-yard catch midway through the fourth quarter amid the Browns' dramatic comeback. While Moore has one of the more predictable roles in the Browns offense, he has proven to have very little upside.

Adds punt return duties
Moore caught two of five targets for 30 yards and returned two punts for 23 yards in Sunday's 24-20 loss to Seattle.
Analysis: The hybrid role Cleveland's coaches envisioned for Moore on offense has not panned out, so he was given a chance to impact the game as a punt returner for the first time this season. While he's sitting on zero touchdowns and 36.6 receiving yards per game, Moore remains a big piece on offense and is second on team with 48 targets.

Cracks 50-yard mark in win
Moore caught four of seven targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 39-38 win over the Colts in Week 7.
Analysis: Moore, who entered the game with 20 combined yards the last two weeks, rebounded to lead the Browns in receiving yards Sunday. He's been a disappointment thus far, but so has Cleveland's passing game as a whole. Some of that is due to quarterback Deshaun Watson's gimpy shoulder, which cost him two games and knocked him out in the first quarter Sunday after being brought down by Colts defensive end Dayo Odeyingbo.

Analysis: It was expected to be a quiet day for the Browns' wide receivers with PJ Walker under center in place of Deshaun Watson (shoulder), and other than big numbers from Amari Cooper (108 yards), that largely held true. Moore's seven targets were second behind Cooper and his 19 yards were fourth.

Zero net yards in loss
Moore caught two of four targets for 20 yards and ran once for minus-20 yards in Sunday's 28-3 loss to Baltimore.
Analysis: The five targets and touches were season lows for Moore, who clearly missed starting quarterback Deshaun Watson (shoulder). All the team's skill players did, as Cleveland produced just 214 yards of offense with rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson under center. With a bye week on tap in Week 5, Watson gets extended time to heal, and head coach Kevin Stefanski time to fix a broken offense.

Catches all nine targets
Moore recorded nine receptions on nine targets for 49 yards in Sunday's 27-3 win over the Titans.
Analysis: The Browns seemed to prioritize getting Moore involved, as he was targeted three times on the opening drive and was also given a carry. He went on to do most of his damage in the first half, which largely had to do with game script, as the Browns attempted only 13 passes in the final two quarters. Moore now has 25 targets across three games, though that's resulted in only 128 yards.

Garners 41 total yards in loss
Moore brought in three of nine targets for 36 yards and rushed once for five yards in the Browns' 26-22 loss to the Steelers on Monday night.
Analysis: Moore and Deshaun Watson couldn't connect very often, but it's at least encouraging the quarterback showered the speedy receiver with the second-most targets on the night. Moore has posted a 6-79-0 line on 16 targets through two games, so if he and Watson can begin to connect more consistently, the third-year pro is certainly capable of producing fantasy-friendly lines given his playmaking ability.

Leading receiver in team debut
Moore caught three of seven targets for 43 yards and rushed twice for 19 yards in Sunday's 24-3 win over the Bengals.
Analysis: Making his Cleveland debut after being acquired from the Jets in an offseason trade, Moore led his new team in receiving yards while tying for the team lead in targets with Amari Cooper. Moore's speed complements Cooper's contested catch ability and Nick Chubb's physicality on the ground, so the new addition should continue to play a prominent role on Monday Night Football against the Steelers in Week 2.

Two short catches
Moore recorded two receptions on three targets for eight yards in Saturday's 33-32 preseason loss to the Chiefs.
Analysis: Recovered from a rib injury, Moore played with Deshaun Watson and the rest of Cleveland's first-team offense. He matched Amari Cooper in targets, though Moore was targeted in the short areas of the field while Cooper was targeted on deep attempts. Moore is likely to work primarily out of the slot this season and should be a favorite target of Watson in the short and intermediate areas of the field.

Should play preseason finale
Moore is expected to play in the team's preseason finale Saturday, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Moore managed to be cleared of a ribs injury Tuesday, one that had kept him out for two weeks of training camp, and he now appears poised to see work in Saturday's preseason contest against the Chiefs. An offseason acquisition from the Jets, Moore gaining more chemistry with starting quarterback Deshaun Watson, who is also expected to play, will be a key point to follow before the team's regular-season opener in September.

Analysis: Moore suffered a rib injury Aug. 11 and was diagnosed as day-to-day.

Moore didn't play in Thursday's preseason game at Philadelphia, but he told Aditi Kinkhabwala of CBS Sports that he's "day-to-day" due to the rib injury he sustained in last Friday's preseason loss to the Commanders.
Analysis: Despite the health concern, Moore was able to participate in individual drills at Tuesday's joint practice with the Eagles. His quote from Thursday indicates he may receive clearance for all activity in the near future, perhaps with an eye toward making an appearance in the Browns' exhibition finale at Kansas City on Saturday, Aug. 26.

Moore's return to practice confirms he avoided anything serious, and his Week 1 availability isn't in doubt. He's expected to line up all over the formation for Cleveland this season.

Set for multiple roles
Moore (ribs) will be used in a variety of roles this season, Doc Louallen of the Browns' official site reports. "I'm sure it's been well reported that we want to use the kid in a bunch of different ways," Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski said. "Teams know that we'll hand it to him, that we'll throw it to him. As you know, there's no shortage of plays."
Analysis: That variety was on display in Friday's preseason game against the Commanders, when Moore caught a pass from the receiver position and then took a handoff in the backfield for an 18-yard gain. The plays helped set up a red-zone opportunity for the Browns -- they didn't convert on a fourth-and-goal opportunity -- but the drive showed the impact a healthy Moore will have when games count. It's unclear if Moore's versatility will be on display in Thursday's preseason tilt against the Eagles.…read more

Continuing to star at training camp
Moore has been "the offensive star" of Browns camp and has "proven to be the perfect complement" to Deshaun Watson, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: Moore has carried his strong spring over to training camp, even after the pads have come on. "Lining up in the backfield, in the slot and outside, Moore has done it all in camp, while demonstrating excellent hands and adept route-running," wrote Cabot. By all accounts, Moore seems to have taken hold of slot duties and should be in the mix to finish second on the team in targets behind Amari Cooper. Moore will look to rebound in Cleveland and could flirt with WR3 fantasy numbers.

Analysis: With the Jets having already signed Allen Lazard and Mecole Hardman (groin) in free agency this offseason to complement incumbent starting wideouts Garrett Wilson and Corey Davis, the team's decision to part ways with Moore doesn't come as an overly surprising one. Moore, a 2021 second-round pick, posted 43 receptions for 538 yards and five scores on 77 targets across 11 appearances as a rookie, but he had a disappointing sophomore campaign, securing just 37 of 65 targets for 446 yards and one…read more

Has disappointing sophomore season
Moore caught his only target for 11 yards in Sunday's 11-6 loss to the Dolphins. He finished the season with 37 catches on 65 targets for 446 yards and one touchdown.
Analysis: Moore was expected to take a step forward after racking up 538 yards and five touchdowns in just 11 games as a rookie. Instead, he regressed in every facet except availability. His only absence came Week 7, when Moore was sent home after requesting a trade.

His disappointing sophomore season will come to a close in Week 18 against the Dolphins.

Analysis: New York's entire offense struggled in this one, but Moore was notably out-targeted by both Garrett Wilson (nine) and Corey Davis (seven). Moore's best chance at fantasy relevance in Week 17 against the Seahawks would be the Jets getting Mike White (ribs) back under center. A Zach Wilson-Chris Streveler redux just won't cut it.

Mike White's insertion under center has helped Moore pick up the pace over the past three weeks after what had been a disastrous sophomore season for the wide receiver.

A seven-yard gain by Ty Johnson on the ensuing play followed by a 60-yard Greg Zuerlein field goal made Moore's blunder inconsequential, but that play was emblematic of the second-year wide receiver's struggles in 2022.

Moore caught two of four targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 10-3 loss to the Patriots.
Analysis: Moore made consecutive catches of 13 and four yards in the two-minute drill late in the first half, but that was the extent of his involvement on offense. He was the last player to touch the ball in the loss, making the curious decision to run out of bounds after a nine-yard kickoff return with no time on the clock. Moore's first two catches since Week 5 represent a small step in the right direction for the wide receiver heading into a Week 12 home game against the Bears.

No Davis in Week 11
Moore could be in line for an expanded role Sunday in New England, as Ethan Greenberg and John Pullano of the Jets' official site report that Corey Davis (knee) will miss a third consecutive game.
Analysis: Davis' previous absences didn't lead to increased volume for the disgruntled Moore, but perhaps New York's Week 10 bye gave him an opportunity to clear his head. He'll have another opportunity to contribute Week 11 for a Jets receiving corps that lacks weapons aside from fellow young wide receiver Garrett Wilson in Davis' absence. Moore hasn't recorded more than 53 yards in a game this season after topping that mark in four of his last six games as a rookie.

Will work out of slot after bye
Jets head coach Robert Saleh said Wednesday that he plans to utilize Moore out of the slot more frequently following the team's Week 10 bye, Josina Anderson of CBS Sports reports.
Analysis: After a strong rookie season during which he saw time both outside and in the slot, Moore has struggled as a sophomore. New York has used him predominantly as a decoy on the outside while featuring other options in the passing game, but more snaps in the slot could lead to more targets for the 5-foot-10 receiver. With the Jets on bye Week 10, Moore will have ample time to adjust to his new slot-heavy role before the team returns to action against the Patriots in Week 11.

No targets in Week 9 win

Analysis: Moore played on 45 percent of the team's offensive snaps, and while Zach Wilson threw for only 154 yards, he still directed the ball toward eight different non-Moore targets, including four wide receivers. With only one target since Week 5, the disgruntled wideout will need to string together multiple productive performances following New York's Week 10 bye before he'll be back on the fantasy radar.

His desire for more targets could be promptly granted against New England, as the Jets will be without Davis, who leads the team with 351 receiving yards.

Analysis: Moore showed early chemistry with quarterback Zach Wilson (knee) in Wilson's season debut, recording catches of 20 and 28 yards to help set up a second-quarter Jets touchdown. He was quiet the rest of the way but still finished second on the team in receiving yards behind Corey Davis (74).

Moore caught four of 10 targets for 49 yards in Sunday's 27-12 loss to the Bengals.
Analysis: Moore tied Garrett Wilson for second on the team in targets -- one behind running back Breece Hall -- but failed to do much with the volume. Three consecutive pedestrian performances to open the season have Moore at just 12 catches for 139 yards heading into a Week 4 trip to Pittsburgh, but perhaps the expected change under center from Joe Flacco to Zach Wilson (knee) will get the second-year wideout going.

Wilson turned his volume into 102 yards and two touchdowns, showcasing better chemistry with Joe Flacco.

With Moore and Davis held out Monday night, rookie first-round pick Garrett Wilson could get extended run, assuming he isn't on the sidelines as well. Wilson came in as the fourth receiver in the preseason opener, behind Moore, Davis and slot man Braxton Berrios.

Shines in joint practice
Moore stood out in Friday's joint practice with the Falcons, catching five passes from quarterback Joe Flacco, Andy Vasquez of NJ.com reports.
Analysis: Moore's productive practice included a gain of 40-plus yards, as he found a hole in Atlanta's zone coverage and proceeded to make a defender miss with a juke. New York's 2021 second-round pick is poised to lead the Jets' receiving corps in his second season, and the team believes Moore's just scratching the surface of his potential as a playmaker.

Once catch in preseason opener
Moore recorded one reception on one target for nine yards in Friday's 24-21 preseason win over the Eagles.
Analysis: Moore played with the first-team offense for three possessions. He made the most of his one look, hauling in a pass from Zach Wilson (knee) to earn the team a fresh set of downs. Moore had a fairly strong showing in his rookie season -- he managed 538 yards on 77 targets -- and should be in for a productive 2022 campaign working opposite Garrett Wilson among the Jets' receiving corps.

More comfortable at NFL level
Moore feels more comfortable heading into his second season and is ready to take a second-year leap, Jared Greenspan of the New York Post reports.
Analysis: Moore was still getting used to the NFL level as a rookie, yet he still managed to lead the Jets in receiving yards despite playing just 11 games. He expects to be even better in his sophomore season and even feels comfortable enough to give rookie first-round pick Garrett Wilson tips, both on and off the field. "I had to go experience it," Moore said of playing at NFL speed last season. Now, he feels ready to excel: "I'm waiting, I'm ready for the game."

Team adds similar young WR
Moore will be joined by rookie 10th overall pick Garrett Wilson in New York's receiving corps, Rich Cimini of ESPN reports.
Analysis: For a third consecutive draft, the Jets used a premium selection on a wide receiver. While 2020 second-rounder Denzel Mims is shaping up to be a bust, the early returns on Moore -- selected 34th overall in 2021 -- look encouraging, and Wilson is the team's most highly regarded receiving prospect yet coming out of Ohio State. Moore and Wilson profile similarly as fast, undersized receivers who can play both outside and in the slot. New York will likely take advantage of their versatility by…read more

Hot finish before injury as rookie
Moore (quadriceps) finished his rookie season with 43 catches for 538 yards and five touchdowns. He added 54 yards and a touchdown on five rushing attempts.
Analysis: The second-round pick out of Ole Miss burst onto the scene with a terrific training camp and preseason, but New York's shaky quarterback play led to a slow start for Moore. He heated up in the middle of the season, catching 34 of 51 targets for 459 yards and five touchdowns over his last six games before a quadriceps injury and stint in COVID-19 protocols ended Moore's campaign after 11 appearances. The arrow's pointing up for Moore heading into his sophomore season, and he's expected to be…read more

Unlikely to play Sunday
Coach Robert Saleh said Moore (quadriceps) is "trending south" for Sunday's game against the Bills, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Moore appears to have cleared the league's COVID-19 protocols but remains on the reserve/COVID-19 list. The bigger issue is he hasn't returned to practice since landing on injured reserve with the quadriceps injury Dec. 13. It appears the 21-year-old will end up missing the final five games of the season due to the injury, which would leave him with 43 receptions for 538 yards and five touchdowns to go along with five carries for 54 yards and another score in 11 games as a rookie.

Looks unlikely for Week 18
Moore (quadriceps) continued to take part in rehab work off to the side during Thursday's practice and appears unlikely to be available for Sunday's game against the Bills, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
Analysis: Moore technically remains on the reserve/COVID-19 list after testing positive for the virus, Dec. 16, but that looks to be merely a formality at this point. Since he's been at the Jets' facility for the last few days, Moore has seemingly cleared the NFL's COVID-19 return-to-play protocol, but he'll be moved to injured reserve whenever he's activated from the list.

Head coach Robert Saleh said Moore (quadriceps) had a good workout Monday and remains a candidate to play in Sunday's season finale in Buffalo, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports.
Analysis: Moore was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Dec. 16, but his ability to take part in a workout Monday suggests he's made a full recovery from the illness. He'll have to shift back to injured reserve and receive a designation for return before he's eligible to resume practicing, which could happen as soon as Wednesday.

Analysis: The report adds that there's a chance Moore could play Week 18 against the Bills, but first he'll need to clear then NFL's COVID-19 return-to-play protocols in addition to being activated off injured reserve.

Jets head coach Robert Saleh said Wednesday that Moore (quadriceps) "should be" ready to come off the reserve/COVID-19 list soon, but the wideout still has some hurdles to clear before being activated from injured reserve, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports.
Analysis: With that in mind, Saleh suggests that Moore's chances of being removed from both the COVID list and IR in advance of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers are in the 50-50 range, per Rich Cimini of ESPN.com. Jamison Crowder (calf) is also viewed as a 50-50 bet to be available this weekend, so New York could once again be without its top three receivers for the second consecutive game. Corey Davis (groin) was already placed on season-ending IR earlier this month.

Analysis: Moore found himself on IR before the Jets' Week 14 matchup with the Saints and was slated to require the minimum amount of time away from the active roster. But he'll now be away from team facilities until he clears league protocols.

Analysis: After suffering the quad injury in the Jets' Week 13 loss to the Eagles, Moore didn't practice at all last week before New York moved him to IR on Saturday. Given the Jets' status as non-playoff contenders along with the rookie second-round pick's long-term importance to the organization, Moore looked as though he might be a shutdown candidate, but Saleh suggested that's not the case.

Analysis: Moore got off to a quick start, as he hauled in his fifth career touchdown -- all of which have come in his last five games -- on the team's first possession. He went on to lead New York in targets, with his 12 looks doubling up the next most-targeted player on the team. Besides the touchdown, Moore also picked up lengthy receptions of 29, 18 and 15 yards.

He helped set up New York's go-ahead touchdown with a 22-yard catch on the first drive of the third quarter, and Moore was entrusted with the ball on the ground to convert a pivotal 4th-and-1 in the fourth quarter, allowing the Jets to run more clock by bursting up the field for a seven-yard gain.

Scores late TD in blowout loss
Moore caught three of six targets for 44 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 45-17 loss to the Bills.
Analysis: New York's passing game was quiet for most of the game with Mike White struggling, but Joe Flacco came in for the final drive and provided a spark, capping off the drive with a 15-yard touchdown pass to Moore. The rookie second-round pick has caught three touchdown passes thrown by three different quarterbacks over the past two games, so the Jets' revolving door under center hasn't hindered Moore's development.

Moore caught all six of his targets for 67 yards and added a four-yard rush in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Bengals.
Analysis: Moore set career highs in catches and receiving yards, aided by the strong quarterback play of Mike White, who threw for 405 yards in his first career start. With White set to make another start Thursday against the Colts and top wide receiver Corey Davis fighting an uphill battle to return from the hip injury that kept him sidelined against Cincinnati, Moore could have a nice opportunity to build on this breakout effort in Week 9.

Scores first TD on end around
Moore caught one of six targets for 13 yards and added a 19-yard touchdown run in Sunday's 54-13 loss to New England.
Analysis: Moore remained inefficient as a receiver but showcased his open-field ability on an end around to score the first touchdown of his career. Given Moore's struggles on the outside, it could behoove the Jets to give him more opportunities in the slot, where the rookie second-round pick excelled at Ole Miss. However, moving Moore to the slot would mean a reduced role for veteran slot receiver Jamison Crowder, so it remains to be seen whether New York opts for such a move Week 8 against the Bengals.

Injuries clear path to start opener
Moore is expected to play a prominent role in Sunday's game against the Panthers, as fellow wide receiver Jamison Crowder won't come off the reserve/COVID-19 list in time to suit up, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Moore played predominantly in the slot in college, and he's set to work as New York's top option there in his NFL debut with Crowder sitting out. The rookie second-round pick out of Ole Miss is capable of shifting to the outside, where he also could see more action than anticipated if Keelan Cole (knee) -- who is a game-time decision -- joins Crowder on the sidelines.

Moore holds one of the three starting spots on the Jets' Week 1 depth chart with Jamison Crowder still on the reserve/COVID list, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.

Crowder still has a chance to suit up for the Jets on Sunday, so keep an eye on his status as the week progresses. Should Crowder sit out, Moore could be a sneaky play in some fantasy formats, though his absence from preseason play due to a quad injury didn't help his cause.

Considering the decision is ultimately in Saleh's hands, chances are Moore's NFL debut will have to wait until Week 1 against the Panthers.

Analysis: Moore was removed from practice Thursday and held out of the preseason opener Saturday, but reporters did spot him doing some work in the rehab area during Monday's practice. His progress will need to be monitored over the next few weeks, even after coach Robert Saleh said Monday that he isn't worried about the rookie's availability for the regular-season opener at Carolina on Sept. 12, per Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald.

Limited to side work
Moore (quadriceps) is working in the rehab area during Monday's practice, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.
Analysis: Moore was injured during Thursday's practice and missed Saturday's preseason opener against the Giants. Coach Robert Saleh considers the rookie day-to-day, an assessment that's backed up by Moore's ability to do some limited work on the rehab field already. The second-round pick is competing for snaps in a deep WR group occupied by Corey Davis, Jamison Crowder, Keelan Cole and Denzel Mims.

Injuring seemingly not serious
Head coach Robert Saleh said after Saturday's preseason game against the Giants that Moore (quad) is considered day-to-day, according to Brian Costello of the New York Post.
Analysis: The results of the MRI that Moore underwent after injuring his quad Thursday were not released, but based on Saleh's comments, it does not appear he is dealing with something that will cost him extended time. Moore did not play Saturday, though, and while he will have a chance to play in the Jets' second exhibition contest, he will not have much additional recovery time with that game being played just six days later.

Getting MRI on quad
Moore will have an MRI on his quad following an early exit from practice Thursday, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Coach Robert Saleh didn't actually rule Moore out for Saturday's preseason opener against the Giants, but the scheduling of an MRI suggests the rookie's injury is serious enough to keep him sidelined for at least a few days. Moore could make it back for the second or third week of the preseason as he makes his case for regular snaps at a crowded position in New York.

Building momentum in camp
Moore has been making impressive plays in every practice so far, Ralph Vacchiano of SNY.tv reports.
Analysis: Moore is mixing in with the first team and quarterback Zach Wilson at times, though he doesn't have a designated starting position as of yet. The rookie second-round pick has been getting glowing reports from both inside and outside the organization ever since he arrived at One Jets Drive. Coach Robert Saleh described Moore as "ahead of the game," per Vacchiano. If he can translate his strong play in camp into in-game production during the preseason in August, Moore should carve out a prominent…read more

Signs rookie deal
Moore signed his rookie contract with the Jets on Thursday and is expected to play both in the slot and outside as a rookie, Joey Chandler of NJ.com reports.
Analysis: Moore's signing leaves second overall pick Zach Wilson as New York's lone unsigned rookie at this point. The versatile Moore was used primarily in the slot but also played on the outside at Ole Miss, and coach Robert Saleh said he envisions a similar usage pattern for Moore at the NFL level, praising Moore's ability to execute routes at a high level no matter where he lines up. That versatile role will likely lead to a steeper learning curve for Moore in terms of understanding the playbook, but…read more

Impressing in practice
Moore has drawn rave reviews from coach Robert Saleh and has been the star of the Jets' offseason practices, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Saleh described both Moore's work ethic and mindset as "off the charts." The 34th overall selection in this year's draft played predominantly in the slot in college but has been lining up both in the slot and on the outside in practice. Moore's outstanding route running ability and speed, coupled with the intangibles Saleh praised, have allowed him to excel despite his slight 5-10, 178-pound frame. Moore appears poised to join DK Metcalf and A.J. Brown as the latest wide receiver out of Ole…read more
