By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 3rd 2024, 1:05pm EDT

Moore has been held down by the lackluster play of Williams thus far this season. Moore is the WR33 in fantasy points per game with a 24.1% target share, a 30.5% air-yard share, 1.29 YPRR, and a 31.1% first-read share. Moore ranks seventh in NFL in red zone targets (tied). He faces his former team, which is third in single-high rate (68.8%). Against single-high, Moore's target share has increased to 25.3%, and his first-read share has jumped to 34.5%. Carolina has allowed the second-highest PPR points per target and the seventh-most receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers. Moore will run about 82% of his routes against Jaycee Horn (60% catch rate and 73.8 passer rating) and Mike Jackson (63.3% catch rate and 82.2 passer rating).
