DJ Moore (shoulder) not spotted at practice

The carry was really a pass that barely went backwards on a screen in the fourth quarter, bringing his yardage total on the evening to 36. Moore has struggled through injury during his first season in Buffalo and has returned a viable fantasy outing in two of five healthy games. His next opportunity comes in Week 10 against the Jets, where he will be a middling WR3.

Coleman’s fantasy-scoring outlook has been hurt by his teammate’s improving health. At this point, Coleman is more so a single-game DFS FLEX rather than a starter in 12-team re-draft formats. He should be good to go for Week 9’s Monday Night Football game though.

The Bills are managing Moore’s AC joint sprain fairly well. He should be expected to play in Week 9’s Monday Night Football game against the Vikings. Although it is a tough matchup, Moore remains the WR2 tier in this week’s final game.

Coleman was seen wearing a red non-contact jersey at today’s practice. His limited session to begin the week puts him on track to face the Vikings in Week 9’s Monday Night Football game. With DJ Moore (shoulder) back in the lineup, Coleman is just a WR4/FLEX. Joshua Palmer (hamstring) did not practice.

There was some concern that Moore may have injured his knee in Week 8 against the Ravens, but he is listed only with the same shoulder issue he has dealt with for weeks, which is good news. Moore should be treated as a WR2 in a very tough matchup against the Vikings on Monday Night Football.

Moore’s 82 receiving yards trailed only Dalton Kincaid (86). Playing in his first game since Week 4, Moore did not appear to be slowed at all by his injured shoulder and bounced back quickly on a play where he appeared to land hard on the turf. Moore hauled in an impressive 49-yard grab in the third quarter on a drive that helped set up James Cook for a five-yard rushing touchdown, and found the end zone himself in the fourth quarter on an 11-yard score that gave Josh Allen the Bills’ franchise record for career touchdown passes. The seven targets Moore saw were on par with what have come to expect from him pre-injury, which is a good sign for him going forward. He appeared to suffer a minor knee injury near the end of the game, but said afterward it wasn’t too serious. That will be something to monitor, but assuming he’s good to go, Moore will be on the WR2 radar next week on the road against the Vikings.

Moore and TE Dalton Kincaid are both officially active, giving the Bills two of their top playmakers in what projects as one of the best matchups of the Week 8 slate against the Ravens. Moore returns for his first game since Week 4 and has caught 12 passes for 178 yards and one touchdown on 19 targets. He’ll profile as a fringe WR1/WR2 at home. The Bills declared WR Skyler Bell, CB Dee Alford, S Jalon Kilgore, LB Mike Danna, OG Ar’maj Reed-Adams, OT Spencer Brown, and DL Greg Gaines inactive for Week 8.

Moore missed the Bills’ previous two games but had the bye week to get healthy. He was limited in practice throughout the week before being listed as questionable. He’s likely still not at full strength, but fantasy managers can’t be too concerned given the game environment. The Bills’ matchup with Baltimore has all of the makings of a shootout. Moore was also operating as Josh Allen’s clear No. 1 receiver before aggravating his shoulder injury. Moore is a strong WR2 option for Week 8.

Moore has practiced with a non-contact jersey on, in a limited fashion, both of the first two days of the practice week after coming off bye. He got in a third limited session on Friday. This isn’t exactly an exciting run-out after the bye, but Moore probably is on the optimistic side of questionable and any fantasy player that is breathing should be elevated in a game projected to have Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson at quarterback.

The consecutive limited showings seems to indicate Moore is on track to return from a two-game absence, something we should get further fidelity on after Friday’s practice. There remains a possibility that Moore carries a questionable designation into the weekend if he is unable to upgrade to a full participant Friday, leaving fantasy managers hopeful yet uncertain as we near the weekend. Moore would return to a WR2 profile when the Bills take on the Ravens, if active.
