DJ Moore finished 2025 with 50 catches, 682 yards, and 6 touchdowns on an 85-target workload.
What 2026 looks like
Moore's full 17-game season produced ordinary volume for a receiver at this point on the board. He saw 85 targets, caught 50 at a 59% rate, and finished with 682 yards and 6 touchdowns. His 13.6 yards per catch preserved some value on a modest reception count, but the 16.0% target share didn't command the passing game. Buffalo is his team for 2026, a new situation his 2025 season can't describe. That season shows durability and moderate production. It doesn't prove what his target position will be in the new setting.
Unlike most receivers near him on the board, Moore has no gap between consensus and draft behavior. His overall rank 49, WR25 standing, and tier 5 placement align with his average draft position at +0. That agreement makes the price transparent rather than obviously discounted. Buffalo's 2026 receiver schedule rates 4 of 5, an easy draw, and the bye comes in week 7. The schedule helps, though it can't answer the open role question. Managers are choosing a player who posted 682 yards on a 16.0% share, then carrying that measured profile into Buffalo's 2026 setting without assuming his volume will increase.
Asked & answered
Do experts and drafters agree on DJ Moore's 2026 value?
Yes. His consensus rank and average draft position have a +0 difference, with Moore listed overall 49 and WR25 in tier 5. That agreement means the market isn't giving a discount or charging a premium relative to his consensus ranking.
What was missing from DJ Moore's 2025 production?
Heavy volume was missing in 2025. Moore received 85 targets across 17 games and held a 16.0% target share. His 13.6 yards per catch helped him reach 682 yards, but 50 receptions and 6 touchdowns left the overall line modest.
Can DJ Moore's measured target share be applied directly to Buffalo?
No. The 16.0% share describes his measured 2025 production, while Buffalo is his team for 2026. Because his Buffalo target volume is unknown, assigning him the same share or a larger one would be an editorial projection rather than a fact.
