Is Corey Davis Playing In Week 15? Should I Pickup And Start Elijah Moore For Fantasy Football?

New York Jets wide receiver Corey Davis played well this year.

The former first-round pick is the WR62 for the year, averaging 7.1 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. However, the veteran wide receiver has scored 10.5 or more fantasy points in 40% of his contests this season, including in his last healthy game in Week 13.

Unfortunately, Davis suffered a concussion in Week 14 against the Buffalo Bills. The former Western Michigan star played only nine snaps and had one target before leaving the game with the injury.

Is Corey Davis Playing In Week 15?

After suffering a concussion last week, fantasy players were hopeful Davis could play this week. However, the Jets ruled out the former first-round pick yesterday.

With the veteran receiver out this week, should fantasy players add and start Elijah Moore against the Detroit Lions?

Should I Pickup And Start Elijah Moore For Fantasy Football?

Last week, Moore had a season-high six receptions and 10 targets against the Bills. He had 60 receiving yards in the game, finishing the contest with nine fantasy points. More importantly, the second-year receiver played 82% of the snaps, the most since Week 4.

Meanwhile, the Lions have surrendered 33.4 fantasy points per game to wide receivers this season, the third-most in the NFL. Furthermore, they gave up over 300 receiving yards and two touchdowns to the Minnesota Vikings’ wide receivers last week.

However, Zach Wilson will start for the Jets this week as Mike White was ruled out with a rib injury. Wilson hasn’t played since the Week 11 matchup against the New England Patriots. In that matchup, Moore had only two receptions for 17 receiving yards.

Fantasy players should be nervous starting the second-year receiver this week. While the matchup is fantasy friendly, the change at quarterback is a massive red flag.

Instead, fantasy players should add and start Chris Moore. The veteran receiver is available in over 85% of ESPN leagues. More importantly, the Houston Texans won’t have Brandin Cooks or Nico Collins for this week’s matchup against the Chiefs.

Tomorrow will be the second straight week the Texans won’t have either of their starting wide receivers. Last week, Moore had the best performance of his career. The former Cincinnati Bearcat caught 10 of 11 targets for 124 receiving yards, scoring 17.4 half-point PPR fantasy points against the Dallas Cowboys.

Meanwhile, the Chiefs have surrendered 31.9 fantasy points per game to wide receivers this year, the fourth-most in the NFL. Furthermore, they have given up 19 touchdowns to wide receivers this season, the most in the league.
