2025 Fantasy Outlook

Moore broke through in 2023, his sixth pro season, with career highs for catches (96), receiving yards (1,364) and TDs (nine) while catching passes from Justin Fields in an otherwise subpar offense. Mediocre though he may be, Fields arguably was the best QB that Moore had played with since entering the NFL in 2018 at the end of Cam Newton's run in Carolina. No. 1 overall pick Caleb Williams looked to Moore plenty last season, with 140 targets being the second most of his career, but they overwhelmingly connected on short passes as Moore's aDOT (7.5) and yards per catch (9.9) fell more than 15 percent below his previous career lows. His 39 targets behind the line of scrimmage were the most for any wide receiver, with 27 of those coming over the final eight games after OC Shane Waldron was fired (and replaced by Thomas Brown). The Bears moved on from Brown this offseason, and also from WR Keenan Allen, later drafting TE Coltson Loveland at No. 10 overall and WR Luther Burden at No. 39 to ensure new head coach Ben Johnson will have plenty of weapons at his disposal. Johnson's work in Detroit was about as encouraging as it gets, and the Bears also acquired three new veteran starters for the interior O-line. If Williams isn't a bust it'll be the best situation Moore's ever been in, albeit with tougher target competition relative to his excellent 2023. The biggest concern at this point is that Williams might not be good, with his 68 sacks as a rookie stretching far beyond acceptable levels even for a rookie QB with poor blocking.

Moore secured nine of 10 targets for 86 yards and a touchdown and rushed once for five yards in the Bears' 24-22 win over the Packers on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.

ANALYSIS
Moore led the Bears in receptions, receiving yards and targets, a customary development for the talented veteran. He did almost all the work on his 32-yard touchdown catch early in the fourth quarter, taking a screen and weaving his way down the right side of the field to paydirt. Moore worked well with rookie first overall pick Caleb Williams all season, posting posting a career-high 98 receptions for 966 yards and six touchdowns while playing all 17 regular-season games for the fourth time in as many seasons since the schedule expanded in 2021.

2018

Moore topped 940 yards from scrimmage in each of his five seasons with the Panthers, but he never went higher than 1,215 yards and averaged just 4.2 TDs. Change was needed for him to take the next step as a fantasy asset, and that's exactly what happened after an offseason trade in 2023 even though the Bears offense struggled on the whole. Moore averaged 8.0 targets per game, which was was actually slightly less than the 8.3 he averaged over his four non-rookie years in Carolina, more than making up for it with career highs for catch rate (70.6 percent), catches (96), total yards (1,385) and touchdowns (nine). That, after three straight seasons with a catch rate below 58 percent in miserable Carolina offenses. The Bears' passing game overall was a different story, with Moore and TE Cole Kmet combining for 47 percent of targets and 61 percent of receiving yards. Justin Fields and backup QB Tyson Bagent averaged 5.3 yards per attempt on throws to all other players. That'll be less of a problem after the Bears traded for WR Keenan Allen, drafted WR Rome Odunze ninth overall and signed TE Gerald Everett and RB D'Andre Swift, though Fields won't be the one to benefit, as the trade that secured Moore in the first place now pairs him with mega-prospect Caleb Williams. The increase in target competition figures to end Moore's three-year streak earning at least 27.5 percent of his team's passes, but there should be more volume to go around overall with Williams replacing the sack/scramble-happy Fields.

Moore's talent outweighed his production during five season in Carolina, where the 2018 first-round pick ended things on a low note last year with a 53.4 percent catch rate and 888 yards from 118 targets. He did score seven touchdowns, his first time with more than four, and a move to Chicago as part of the trade for this year's No. 1 overall pick could put Moore in an average or even above-average offense for the first time in his NFL career. On the other hand, teams with quarterbacks as mobile as Justin Fields don't tend to throw a ton of passes, and the Bears finished last in the league last year with 377. That number should rise now that Fields has a legit trio of pass catchers in Moore, Darnell Mooney and Cole Kmet, but it's still unlikely to be an ideal landing spot in terms of fantasy production, especially in PPR formats where volume tends to be king.

Moore has been on the cusp of a breakout for four years now, including three seasons in a row with exactly four touchdowns and 1,157 to 1,193 receiving yards. Last year, he needed 17 games to reach those numbers, after doing it in 15 the previous two seasons. His targets and receptions have been far less consistent - 135/87 in 2019, 118/66 in 2020, 163/93 in 2021 - with the lower volume in 2020 offset by a 12-for-25 showing on targets 20-plus yards downfield (compared to 6-for-21 in 2019 and 6-for-23 in 2021). It's a sad state of affairs when Kyle Allen is the QB who's had the most success throwing deep to a talent like Moore, who otherwise has caught passes from Sam Darnold, Teddy Bridgewater and a past-his-prime Cam Newton. The bad news is that Carolina missed on all the big-name quarterbacks available this offseason, likely leaving Moore with subpar play at the position for a fifth consecutive year. The good news, or at least the silver lining, is that he's the unquestioned No. 1 receiver and should again get big-time volume, as the Panthers didn't add much at wide receiver even after Robbie Anderson tanked last season. There's reason to think Moore can do better than his usual 1,200 and four if he gets a little help from Baker Mayfield, with his 4.42 speed in a 210-pound frame making him a capable deep threat who also excels at taking short passes for extra yards.

The additions of quarterback Teddy Bridgewater and big-play wide receiver Robby Anderson last offseason seemed less than ideal for Moore, but despite playing with a conservative quarterback and established field-stretcher, it was Moore who emerged as one of the league’s top deep threats. Moore saw 118 targets (19th), but had six receptions for 40-plus yards (T-1st) and 19 catches for 20-plus (T-8th). He also averaged 18.1 YPC (1st by a mile) and 10.1 YPT (2nd). He did this despite seven drops too. The downside was a modest 66 receptions (catch rates go down in proportion to depth of target) and only four touchdowns. Not only was the Panthers offense mediocre, but Moore saw barely any red-zone work (nine targets). At 6-0, 210, Moore is a tough, physical receiver who can make catches over the middle and break tackles after contact. His average of 5.8 yards after the catch last season ranked third among wideouts with 50 or more receptions. He also has good speed (4.42 40) and excellent quickness, splitting his time between the perimeter and the slot. Curtis Samuel’s targets are gone, but they should more or less be replaced by a healthy Christian McCaffrey, who missed most of last year, and second-round pick Terrace Marshall. Even so, the offense should improve in Year 2 of coach Matt Rhule’s system, and newly acquired QB Sam Darnold — while far from a sure thing — at least has more upside than the departed Bridgewater.

Given the Panthers' abominable quarterback play last year, Moore had about as good a season as could be expected in Year 2. He notched 8.7 YPT (13th) and dropped only three passes. He made big plays (four catches of 40-plus yards) but didn't get into the end zone often, thanks to his modest red-zone use (12 targets, only two inside the 10). Moreover, Moore's rushing stats - 172 yards on 13 carries as a rookie - crashed to 40 yards on only six carries in his sophomore campaign. At 5-11, 215, and running a 4.42 40, Moore is stout, compact and unusually fast for a receiver his height and weight. He has good open-field vision and is dangerous after the catch. The acquisition of new quarterback Teddy Bridgewater is likely to be a boost, not because he's anything special as a passer, but because he's light years ahead of last year's QB, Kyle Allen, and his accuracy and care with the football should help keep the offense moving more reliably than it did last season. Plus, new coach Matt Rhule (and OC Joe Brady) could install a more pass-friendly scheme than what the Panthers had in recent seasons under Ron Rivera. Moore figures to be the team's top WR target again, but the Panthers signed deep threat Robby Anderson to a twoyear deal this offseason and bring back tailback Christian McCaffrey and fourth-year man Curtis Samuel, providing sturdy competition for Bridgewater's attention.

The first receiver taken in the 2018 draft, Moore had a fine rookie season, especially considering the sorry state of the Panthers passing game for most of the year. He finished with 9.6 YPT and only one drop on 82 targets, broke three plays for more than 40 yards and also racked up 172 extra yards on the ground, giving him 960 yards from scrimmage on only 68 touches. At 5-11, 215, Moore is stout, powerful and fast (4.42 40). He's unusually quick for a heavy receiver and has good vision in the open field. Moore didn't see much red-zone work last year - only 11 looks inside the 20 - but that was with the 6-4 Devin Funchess around. Funchess is gone this year, and Moore sits atop the Panthers depth chart with only the small, quick Curtis Samuel as a significant alternate option for wideout targets. Of course, Christian McCaffrey, who broke the running back receptions record last year, also will play a big part in the passing game, and tight end Greg Olsen is set to play another year. But as long as Cam Newton's shoulder recovery goes well - so far so good at press time - this should be a better passing offense in 2019, and Moore is likely to be its top target.

The first receiver taken in the draft at pick No. 24, Moore finds himself in a crowded Carolina receiving corps, but one that's lacking a star. Devin Funchess profiles as the team's No. 1, but he's hardly more established than last year's top dog Kelvin Benjamin, who was dealt midseason during a playoff run. Newly signed Torrey Smith and Jarius Wright and last year's second-rounder Curtis Samuel are also in the mix, but likely as complementary options. At 6-0, 210, with 4.42 40 speed and good quickness, toughness and overall athleticism, Moore profiles as a faster Jarvis Landry or a bigger Steve Smith. Moore just turned 21 in April, so there's plenty of room for growth. Expect him to see targets right away, either from the slot or opposite Funchess, and there's a chance he winds up as the team's top receiver by season's end.
