Browns' Elijah Moore: Second 100-yard game of career
Rotowire
Moore brought in eight of 14 targets for 111 yards in the Browns' 41-32 loss to the Broncos on Monday night. He also rushed once for one yard.
With Cedric Tillman (concussion) unavailable, Moore stepped up to produce his first 100-yard effort since Week 11 of his 2021 rookie season with the Jets. The veteran wideout has posted his three best receiving yardage totals of the season with Jameis Winston as his quarterback, as Monday night's effort was preceded by 85- and 66-yard tallies in Weeks 8 and 11, respectively. If Tillman remains sidelined for Sunday's Week 14 road rematch with the Steelers, Moore could play another significant role in that divisional clash.

Browns' Elijah Moore: Week 13 Adds (WR Preview)
Rotowire
Moore was a big disappointment in Week 12, but if Cedric Tillman is out, he could be a great option in Week 13. Slot wide receivers are exactly the type of receivers who have found success against the Broncos, and Moore will benefit greatly if Patrick Surtain takes away Jerry Jeudy. Since Jameis Winston took over, Moore has two games with more than 16 Fantasy points and two games with fewer than six.

Browns' Elijah Moore: Week 13 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Like Jameis Winston, Moore has excelled in good matchups and struggled in bad ones, and he doesn't have an easy matchup in Week 13 at Denver. But Cedric Tillman (concussion) could be out, which would be a plus for Moore, and he's worth adding in all leagues for 5-10 percent of your remaining FAB. He scored 16.5 PPR points in Week 8 against Baltimore and 18.6 PPR points in Week 11 at New Orleans, which were the two best outings for Winston. Moore also scored 5.8 PPR points in Week 9 against the Chargers and 5.1 PPR points in Week 12 against Pittsburgh. Given the injury to Tillman, I'll consider Moore a No. 3 Fantasy receiver in Week 13, and hopefully, the additional volume helps him vs. Denver.

Browns' Elijah Moore: Three grabs in win
Rotowire
Moore brought in three of five targets for 21 yards in the Browns' 24-19 win over the Steelers on Thursday night.
Moore's fellow receiver Cedric Tillman exited Thursday's contest in the third quarter with what was ultimately diagnosed as a concussion, which may have helped lead to a couple of extra targets for Moore in the fourth quarter. One of those was intercepted by Donte Jackson at the Steelers' 22-yard line with 4:28 remaining, but Cleveland was able to eventually mount a game-winning touchdown drive on the next possession. Moore's overall numbers actually represented a downturn to varying degree compared to those he'd generated in Jameis Winston's first four games under center, but he could be in line for a larger role in a Week 13 road matchup against the Broncos on Monday night, Dec. 2 if there's better weather and/or Tillman is unavailable for that contest.

Browns' Elijah Moore: No injury designation
Rotowire
Moore (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Thursday's game against the Steelers, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Moore came out of Sunday's loss at New Orleans with a shoulder injury that was apparently minor. His volume and production both have spiked since Jameis Winston took over as Cleveland's starting quarterback beginning in Week 8, but Moore's fantasy outlook for Week 12 is subdued by a matchup with Pittsburgh's excellent defense as well as forecasts of poor weather in Cleveland on Thursday.

Browns' Elijah Moore: Stays limited on practice report
Rotowire
The Browns listed Moore (shoulder) as a limited practice participant Tuesday.
Moore has now gone down as a limited participant on the Browns' first two Week 12 injury reports, but the team hasn't yet suggested that he's in any danger of missing Thursday's game against the Steelers. The fourth-year wideout has enjoyed his best run of production of the season since Jameis Winston took over as the starting quarterback, recording 17 receptions for 179 yards and a touchdown on 29 targets over the past three contests.

Browns' Elijah Moore: Week 12 Adds (WR Preview)
Rotowire
Moore was my top add of last week, and he's still only 19% rostered. I would expect that will go up after he scored 18.6 PPR Fantasy points against the Saints. Moore has 29 targets over his last three games, and he's scored at least 16.5 PPR Fantasy points in two of those. All three of Moore, Jerry Jeudy, and Cedric Tillman are startable with Jameis Winston under center.

Browns' Elijah Moore: Week 12 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Moore has thrived with Jameis Winston under center for the past three games, including a season-high 18.6 PPR points in Week 11 at New Orleans. That's now two of his past three outings with at least 16.5 PPR points, and he has 29 combined targets in all three starts for Winston (at least eight targets in each contest). The Browns have three receivers making plenty of plays for Winston with Moore, Jerry Jeudy and Cedric Tillman, and not all three will post consistent stats. And Cleveland has a tough schedule coming up with Pittsburgh twice (Weeks 12 and 14), Denver (Week 13) and Kansas City (Week 15). But Moore is clearly going to get plenty of targets from Winston, and he's worth adding in all leagues for at least 10 percent of your remaining FAB.

Browns' Elijah Moore: Appears on Week 12 injury report
Rotowire
The Browns listed Moore as a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report due to a shoulder injury, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Cleveland didn't hold a practice session one day after Sunday's 35-14 loss to New Orleans, but Moore would have had his reps capped had the Browns taken the field. The Browns aren't likely to hold anything more than walk-through sessions or light practices Tuesday and Wednesday, but assuming Moore is listed as either a limited or full participant on those days, he should be ready to play in Thursday's game against the Steelers. In the three games since Jameis Winston has taken over for Deshaun Watson (Achilles) as the Browns' starting quarterback, Moore has produced a 17-179-1 line on 29 targets, with his yardage total exceeding his combined output (136 yards) from Cleveland's first seven games of the season.

Browns' Elijah Moore: Finds end zone in New Orleans
Rotowire
Moore caught six of eight targets for 66 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-14 loss to the Saints,
The fourth-year wideout was on the other end of a 30-yard Jameis Winston TD in the third quarter, giving Moore his first score of the season. In three games with Winston as the Browns' starting QB, Moore has racked up a 17-179-1 line on 29 targets, giving him intriguing upside for the rest of 2024. He faces a tougher matchup in Week 12 against the Steelers, however.

Browns' Elijah Moore: Week 11 Adds (WR Preview)
Rotowire
My top two adds at the wide receiver position are both Browns, what could go wrong? Elijah Mooore has 27 targets in his last three games, Jerry Jeudy has 25. Both are in play as number three wide receivers against the Saints in Week 11. Jeudy had his best game of the season, with 14.3 PPR Fantasy points in the Browns last game, Moore was even better with 16.5 in Week 8. I prefer Moore in full PPR and Jeudy in half or non.

Browns' Elijah Moore: Week 10 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
In two games with Jameis Winston, Moore has 21 targets. He only has 11 catches for 113 yards and no touchdowns over that span, but he could emerge as a No. 3 PPR receiver as the season goes on. Even though Cleveland is on a bye in Week 10, it's not a bad idea to stash Moore in deeper leagues for 1 percent of your remaining FAB.

Browns' Elijah Moore: Lots of targets, few catches
Rotowire
Moore caught three of nine targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Chargers.
Moore has received healthy target volume the last three weeks, averaging nine per contest, and he's amassed 154 yards during that stretch. That increased workload was expected after the Browns traded Amari Cooper (wrist), but so far Moore hasn't capitalized. Outside of a few random efforts during his 26-game stay in Cleveland, he's been unremarkable. The wide receiver is in the final year of a two-year contract and could be a candidate to be dealt with the NFL trade deadline looming Tuesday.

Browns' Elijah Moore: Sleeper WRs
Rotowire
Cedric Tillman has more upside based on what we've seen in the past two games since Amari Cooper was traded to Buffalo, but Moore has quietly done well in those outings against Cincinnati and Baltimore. He has 18 targets over that span for 14 catches and 126 yards, and he scored 16.5 PPR points against the Ravens in Week 8. Most of the attention from the Chargers should go to Tillman, who has 15 catches for 180 yards and two touchdowns on 21 targets in the past two games, and David Njoku, while Moore can still be a reliable weapon for Jameis Winston. I don't mind using Moore as a No. 3 Fantasy receiver in Week 9.

Browns' Elijah Moore: Week 9 Adds (WR Preview)
Rotowire
Moore led the Browns with 12 targets in Jameis Winston's first start and caught eight of them for 16.5 PPR Fantasy points. It was his second straight game with double-digit Fantasy points after reaching that mark just once in six tries with Deshaun Watson. If that volume repeats in Week 9, we'll be viewing Moore as a must-start in full PPR.

Browns' Elijah Moore: Target leader in win
Rotowire
Moore caught eight of 12 targets for 81 yards in Sunday's 29-24 win over the Ravens in Week 8.
Moore established season highs in catches, targets and yards, and he wasn't the only receiver to benefit from Jameis Winston taking over at quarterback for the injured Deshaun Watson (Achilles). Winston wasn't perfect -- he lost a fumble and two passes could easily have been intercepted -- but he guided the offense to its most points scored this season and made onlookers wonder what could have been had head coach Kevin Stefanski replaced Watson sooner. Moore has 14 catches on 18 targets for 122 yards the last two weeks and may have resuscitated a season that had been going nowhere after the first six games.

Browns' Elijah Moore: Seven targets in loss
Rotowire
Moore caught six of seven targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 21-14 loss to Cincinnati in Week 7.
The last time Moore saw activity as significant as this was in Week 2. Sunday was the Browns' first game since they traded Amari Cooper to Buffalo, and Moore was expected to see more opportunities. In fact, Sunday's production was greater than his previous three weeks combined. That's the good news. The not-so-good news is that second-year wideout Cedric Tillman (12 targets, eight catches) emerged as a viable competitor for the available targets going forward, and quarterback Deshaun Watson suffered a potentially season-ending Achilles injury.

Browns' Elijah Moore: Not on injury report
Rotowire
Moore (rib) doesn't appear on the Browns' initial Week 7 injury report that was released Wednesday.
Per Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com, head coach Kevin Stefanski said after Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Eagles that Moore was dealing with a rib issue, but the injury is evidently not a concern for the wideout as this weekend's contest against the Bengals approaches. Through six games to date, Moore has caught 16 of his 23 targets for 95 yards, but he could see added opportunities in Cleveland's offense moving forward following the departure of Amari Cooper, who led the team with 53 targets prior to being traded to the Bills on Tuesday.

Browns' Elijah Moore: Dealing with rib issue
Rotowire
Following Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Eagles, coach Kevin Stefanski noted that Moore is dealing with a rib injury, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Moore finished up the contest with one catch for three yards. Look for added context regarding the wideout's injury to arrive no later than Wednesday, but if he's out or limited next weekend against the Bengals, Cedric Tillman would be a candidate for added Week 6 snaps.

Browns' Elijah Moore: One touch in loss
Rotowire
Moore caught his lone target for 11 yards in Sunday's 20-16 loss to Las Vegas.
Moore's touch came on the Browns' first drive -- perhaps their best of the season -- and converted a 3rd-and-10. That was the end of his involvement, however. He opened the season with 14 targets over the first two weeks, but Moore has lagged behind Amari Cooper and Jerry Jeudy and been targeted just four times the last two games. Until the Browns can get their erratic offense going -- Cleveland has yet to score more than 20 points in a game, and the defense was responsible for one of its four touchdowns -- Moore does not appear to be a viable fantasy asset.
