DJ Moore injury update: Not ruled out for Week 5 vs. Rams (shoulder)

DJ Moore is not ruled out for Week 5 against the Rams, but he missed Thursday's practice with a shoulder injury.

By Cole Hartwell

DJ Moore has not been ruled out for Week 5 against the Los Angeles Rams, according to RotoWire. Buffalo Bills head coach Joe Brady said Thursday that Moore is “going to be able to do everything he can to be able to rock this week,” per Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News.

What happened

Moore was not participating during the media viewing period of Thursday’s practice, according to Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo. Underdog NFL, citing Joe Buscaglia, also reported that Moore was not seen participating in practice Thursday.

Context

Moore has played four games for the Bills this season. He has 36.3 PPR points on 20 targets, 12 catches, 178 receiving yards, and one receiving touchdown. He has played 51% of offensive snaps. Last week in Week 4, Moore had 2.7 PPR points on two targets and one catch, with 39% of snaps.

Earlier this month, Moore headed to the medical tent and then to the locker room on Sunday, according to a report at the time.

Sleeper currently tags Moore as questionable. His Week 5 projection is 9.6 PPR points.

Depth chart

Moore is the Bills’ starting left wide receiver. Behind him at the position, Khalil Shakir has 30.6 PPR points on 23 targets, 15 catches, and 176 receiving yards. Keon Coleman has 41.7 PPR points on 16 targets, 14 catches, 217 receiving yards, and one touchdown. Joshua Palmer has 23.0 PPR points on nine targets, three catches, 80 receiving yards, and two touchdowns. Greg Dortch has played 4% of snaps.

What’s next

The Bills play the Rams on Monday, October 12, in Week 5.

DJ Moore (shoulder) not seen participating in practice Thursday, per @JoeBuscaglia.

🏈 Fantasy impact

Moore’s status for Monday’s game is uncertain after missing Thursday’s practice. If he cannot play, Khalil Shakir and Keon Coleman would likely see increased targets. Shakir has 30.6 PPR points and a 9.9-point projection, while Coleman has 41.7 points and a 9.2-point projection. Moore’s Week 5 projection of 9.6 PPR points reflects his uncertain availability. Managers should monitor practice reports on Friday and Saturday before setting lineups. If Moore is inactive, Shakir and Coleman are flex options in deeper leagues.
