Wide Receivers

DJ Moore vs. Cincinnati – With Greg Olsen out for a considerable amount of time for the Carolina Panthers, rookie wide receiver DJ Moore’s stock should continue to shoot up. Against Atlanta in Week 2, Moore was able to find himself a big touchdown late in the game despite playing 16 snaps.

Head coach Ron Rivera said “We have to put more on his plate” in regards to Moore during his press conference on Monday. Snatch Moore up now before he receives an uptake in production and is then owned by the owner beating you in a must-win situation later in the season.

Dede Westbrook vs. Tennessee – Dede Westbrook continues to impress by the week, having fantasy football owners yelling “Dede! Stay in the laboratory!” Westbrook’s fantasy outlook has improved since the loss of Marqise Lee and the improvement of Blake Bortles — the latter obviously being the more shocking of the two occurrences.

Scoring over double digits in both matchups in 2018 to this point, the upside for Westbrook grows against a Titans secondary that is still finding its way. Westbrook may still be a few weeks away from consistent fantasy production, but don’t let that stop you from playing him at your FLEX or stashing him on the bench. Bortles is going to air it out it seems, and he has to give someone the ball.
