Carolina Panthers wide receiver David Moore didn't stand out at all in the Week 15 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, catching two of his four targets for 19 receiving yards. In a game in which the Panthers offense struggled against the rejuvenated Cowboys defense, Moore failed to capitalize after rookie receiver Xavier Legette left the game with a groin injury. Rookie Jalen Coker led the team with 110 receiving yards and a touchdown thanks to an 83-yard touchdown reception. All four of Moore's targets came in the fourth quarter with Legette on the sidelines. If Legette is forced to miss time, Moore should enter the starting lineup alongside Coker and veteran Adam Thielen, potentially giving him deep-league flex value in Week 16 against the Arizona Cardinals. Moore caught 11 of 19 targets for 121 yards and a TD in Weeks 12 and 13 with Coker sidelined.
David Moore Not A Starting Fantasy Options Versus Dallas
Carolina Panthers wide receiver David Moore had his first touchdown of the season in the Week 12 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. The 29-year-old caught five of his nine targets for 40 yards the following week against his former team, the Bucs. Unfortunately, he was held to only two grabs in the Week 14 meeting with the Philadelphia Eagles. With that in mind, there's a realistic chance Moore will find the end zone again before the end of the regular season. But since he's not a consistent fantasy option by any means, he shouldn't have a place in any fantasy lineup, even with a promising matchup versus an unreliable Cowboys defense on tap for Week 15.
Carolina Panthers wide receiver David Moore should be thought of as a desperation WR5 when the Panthers take on the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 14. The veteran receiver has commanded 19 targets during the past two weeks as second-year quarterback Bryce Young has shown dramatic improvement, but this week's matchup is best avoided. The Eagles rank third in air yards allowed, third in yards after catch, and are tied for sixth in sacks, and the Panthers are the biggest underdog of the weekend. Managers in playoff contention almost certainly will have stronger options elsewhere on their rosters.
Carolina Panthers wide receiver David Moore saw many balls thrown his way in Sunday's 26-23 overtime loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He caught five of nine targets for 40 yards. Moore has recently seen increased snaps and targets as standout rookie receiver Jalen Coker (quadriceps) remains out of the lineup. It's been a mixed bag, but managers would ultimately like to see a better catch percentage from the journeyman receiver, who has caught just 41% of his targets this year. His sustained relevance likely hinges on Coker's health going forward. Moore is on the FLEX radar in deep leagues against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 14 if Coker is inactive again.
Does Carolina Panthers wide receiver David Moore have it in him to post another big game in Week 13 against the division-rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers? With rookie Jalen Coker (quadriceps) out for the Week 12 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, Moore played a team-high-tying 94% of the offensive snaps and had by far his best game of the season, catching six of his 10 targets for 81 yards and his first touchdown of the year. It also came in the same game that Adam Thielen returned from Injured Reserve to play 61% of the offensive snaps. Coker is out again this Sunday against the Bucs, but Moore could be hard-pressed for another big game, even in a good matchup against a suspect Tampa secondary. Thielen figures to see more involvement in his second game back. At best, Moore is a dart-throw WR5/6 in the deepest of fantasy leagues this weekend.
David Moore Scores, Records Season Best 81 Yards In Week 12
Carolina Panthers wide receiver David Moore caught six of 10 targets for 81 yards and a touchdown in Carolina's narrow 30-27 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 12. One of those six catches was an impressive one-yard touchdown grab with a defender draped on him. This breakout performance had been building for Moore, who had played over 80% of Carolina's offensive snaps in the prior three games. With rookie wideout Jalen Coker (quadricep) out for Sunday's matchup, Moore's opportunity grew even more significant. Looking forward to Week 13 and beyond, this performance puts Moore's name in the hat as a potential flex option. Still, many fantasy managers may want another week of consistency before adding or picking him for the Week 13 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Carolina Panthers wide receiver David Moore has seen more involvement in the passing game over the last few weeks. Moore was a non-factor in the offense until a four-catch performance in Week 8. Since then, Moore has seen four targets in each of his last two games. Although, the return of Adam Thielen (hamstring) could mean less targets for Moore in Week 12. If Thielen plays, Moore would fall to fourth on the depth chart which would likely completely eliminate his fantasy value. Regardless, fantasy managers should look elsewhere for help ahead of the Week 12 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Carolina Panthers wide receiver David Moore saw his biggest performance of the season during last week's loss to the Denver Broncos. Moore hauled in four of his five targets for 39 yards, which are all season highs for the 29-year-old. After a few injuries and trades, Moore has become the WR3 in Carolina right now. That doesn't mean a lot given how bad the Panthers offense has been this season. However, it's worth noting that Moore played 82 percent of the snaps last week. He isn't a reliable fantasy option for Week 9, but could creep into the flex conversation with another decent performance this weekend.
David Moore Rips Off 44-Yard Touchdown In Playoff Win
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver David Moore caught two of his three targets for 66 yards and a touchdown in the Wild Card win over the Philadelphia Eagles. The veteran, who is on his seventh team in seven years, ripped off a 44-yard catch-and-run touchdown in the first quarter to set the tone for the blowout win on Monday night. Although it was an impressive performance, he had just five receptions during the regular season, so he remains nothing more than a budget-friendly DFS option in a favorable matchup against the Detroit Lions on Sunday in the NFC Divisional Round.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver David Moore hasn't been much of a factor in the offense up to this point. However, he was able to put up a decent performance against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. Moore hauled in both his targets for 68 yards and a touchdown in the win over Green Bay. He secured a 52-yard catch where a majority of the yards came after the catch. Possibly, Moore earns more chances down the stretch, but won't see enough targets to be a reliable fantasy option. Moore remains off the fantasy radar for next week's matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
