Newer update on DJ Moore: DJ Moore injury update: Inactive for Week 6 vs. Raiders (shoulder)

DJ Moore injury update: Sits out Wednesday practice ahead of Week 6 vs. Raiders (shoulder)

DJ Moore was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice due to a shoulder injury, while Joshua Palmer was limited.

By Cole Hartwell

DJ Moore did not practice Wednesday due to a shoulder injury, according to RotoWire.

Joshua Palmer was a limited participant in Wednesday’s practice with a shoulder injury, per Underdog NFL. Both receivers carry a questionable tag on Sleeper, though that is Sleeper’s own listing and not the team’s official game status.

Context

Moore has 36.3 PPR points through four games this season, with 20 targets, 12 receptions, 178 receiving yards and one touchdown. He is coming off a quiet Week 4, finishing with 2.7 PPR points on two targets.

Palmer has 23.0 PPR points in four games, catching three of nine targets for 80 yards and two touchdowns. He posted 1.3 PPR points in Week 4.

Moore is projected for 14.7 PPR points in Week 6 and Palmer for 3.0 by Sleeper.

Timeline

On October 4, Fantasy Football Desk reported that DJ Moore headed to the medical tent and then to the locker room early during Sunday’s game.

On October 8, Fantasy Football Desk reported that Moore had not been ruled out for Week 5 against the Rams. Head coach Joe Brady said Moore was “going to be able to do everything he can to be able to rock this week.” Moore was not participating during the media viewing period of Thursday’s practice.

Depth chart

The Bills’ wide receiver depth chart lists Moore as their LWR1, followed by Khalil Shakir (41.6 PPR, 26 targets, 18 receptions, 256 yards in five games), Keon Coleman (49.4 PPR, 18 targets, 15 receptions, 224 yards, 2 touchdowns in five games), and Joshua Palmer as the RWR4.

What’s next

The Bills face the Raiders on Sunday, October 18, in Las Vegas.

DJ Moore (shoulder) doesn't practice Wednesday. Joshua Palmer (shoulder) limited in practice.

🏈 Fantasy impact

Moore’s absence from Wednesday’s practice is a reminder that his shoulder remains an issue, but it doesn’t necessarily mean he will miss Week 6. He is the Bills’ top wide receiver on the depth chart, so if he plays, he should remain in most lineups given his 14.7 PPR projection. If Moore is limited or out, Khalil Shakir and Keon Coleman would see increased targets, with Shakir (41.6 PPR) and Coleman (49.4 PPR) already outproducing Moore this season. Palmer is a deeper option at best, as he has just 23.0 PPR points in four games and is projected for only 3.0 points in Week 6. Monitor Thursday’s practice report for a better signal on Moore’s availability.
