Elijah Moore Makes Three Catches In Week 2
Elijah Moore saw five targets in a Week 2 win over the Cleveland Browns, catching three passes for a total of 41 yards. Moore came into the season fully expected to be the top wide receiver on the Jets offense, but it looks like rookie Garrett Wilson has quickly taken that role. He drew 14 targets in this game and played very well with Joe Flacco under center. Moore still has upside, but he will be hard to trust as more than a WR4 until he shows more chemistry in the passing game.

Browns Apply Unrestricted Free-Agent Tender To Elijah Moore
Elijah Moore on Monday, according to ESPN's Field Yates. Moore will still count as part of the compensatory free agent if he signs with another team before this year's compensatory formula deadline on June 21. If he signs elsewhere this offseason, his tender carries a value of $3.428 million for the 2025 season. The 25-year-old took a visit to the Buffalo Bills on Monday and could be close to signing with the organization. The former second-round pick (34th overall) by the New York Jets in 2021 out of Mississippi caught 61 of his 102 targets for 538 yards and just one touchdown in 17 games (13 starts) in 2024 in his second year in Cleveland. Even if he were to sign in Buffalo, Moore would have a limited fantasy ceiling, having never gone over 640 yards or five TDs in his four years in the league.

Elijah Moore Visiting With Bills
Elijah Moore is visiting with the Buffalo Bills on Monday, sources tell FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz. Moore had a career-high 61 receptions with the Browns in 2024 and just turned 25 years old. He remains on the free-agent market but is looking to latch on with a team now that the 2025 NFL draft is in the rearview mirror. In addition to his 61 catches (102 targets), Moore had 538 receiving yards and only one touchdown for the Browns in 17 games (13 starts) a year ago. Despite a career-high in catches last season, Moore didn't exceed 35 receiving yards in any of his last five games. He has never topped 640 receiving yards in a single season and hasn't had more than two touchdowns since his rookie campaign in 2021, when he had five. If he were to land in Buffalo, Moore would likely be the No. 4 wideout behind Keon Coleman, Khalil Shakir and Joshua Palmer.

Elijah Moore Goes For 36 Yards On Three Catches In Week 18
Elijah Moore caught three of his five targets for 36 yards in a 35-10 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 18. The veteran's production was good enough for him to finish third on the team in receiving in the season finale, putting the finishing touches on what was a disappointing finish to the season for him as he caught just 11 passes for 91 yards over his final five contests. That being said, Moore set a new career-high in receptions in a single season in the Week 18 loss, finishing with 61 to eclipse his previous high of 59 in 2023. An unrestricted free-agent heading into the offseason, Moore is unlikely to have trouble finding a job heading into 2025.

Elijah Moore A Low-End Option In Week 18
Elijah Moore will finish off his 2024 season with a road matchup against the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday. Moore has been quiet of late, having caught just eight passes for 55 yards over his past four contests. The Ravens have struggled against wide receivers this season, allowing the fourth-most fantasy points per game to the position. The entire Cleveland passing attack gets a small upgrade as the team will start Bailey Zappe in place of Dorian Thompson-Robinson in the season finale. That being said, Moore hasn't been consistent enough to trust as anything more than a WR5 in fantasy heading into Week 18.
