DJ Moore vs Bhayshul Tuten

“However, the Bills seem positive their offense will take a step forward this year with the addition of DJ Moore under new head coach Joe Brady.”

“Moore has a new home for 2026 and beyond after being traded to Buffalo as Josh Allen ‘s new WR1.”

“Going as the WR27 in PPR leagues, DJ Moore lands on a Buffalo Bills team that desperately needed a go-to option.”

“Obviously, it wasn’t a great season in 2025 for DJ Moore. Despite popping up for some big plays, he is coming off career lows in receptions and receiving yards.”

“After years of dealing with subpar quarterbacks, Moore gets to play with Josh Allen in 2026. Yet, he has been productive, averaging 14 or more PPR fantasy points per game in five of seven seasons since his rookie year despite never being an elite touchdown scorer.”

“DJ Moore will finish the season as a WR1. Coming off the worst season of his career (50 REC, 682 YDS, 6 TDs, WR35 in Half PPR), Moore was traded from the Bears to the Bills. He is now catching passes from arguably the best QB in the league, Josh Allen.”

“Both Brown and Erickson believe playing with Josh Allen creates a dramatically different fantasy outlook than Moore has experienced previously. Brown also argued that Buffalo didn't acquire Moore simply to make him another complementary piece. The expectation is that Moore becomes a featured receiver within the offense.”

“Despite disappointing production, Brown noted Moore continued creating separation and winning routes at a strong rate. Those indicators suggest the talent remains intact, even if the fantasy numbers didn't reflect it.”

“Moore is being drafted as the WR22, but fantasy has always priced him as if he were about to be more than he usually is; his career has mostly lived in that WR2 range: WR22, WR20, WR22, WR18, WR17. The outlier was the 2023 eruption, and that season is doing a lot of emotional heavy lifting in his current price.”

“DJ Moore is the favorite to lead the team in targets after Buffalo sent a second-round pick to Chicago to acquire him this offseason, and if his ADP sticks around the round 5-6 turn, it will be hard to turn down his potential targets from Josh Allen in 2026.”

“Moore averaged a solid 135 targets per season and 27% target share from 2019-2024, and his reunion with Joe Brady gives him the potential to regain a 25%+ target share, which would equate to 125-150 Josh Allen targets.”

“The Bears shipped D.J. Moore out of Chicago to Buffalo just before the start of free agency. Moore is now set to play with the best quarterback talent of his career in Josh Allen. Entering his age-29 season and coming off a down year, Moore has bust potential. However, he is still a player I'd be eager to take at his current ADP with him set as the WR1 in an Allen-led offense.”

“Last yr among 35 RBs w/ at least 25 RZ rush att (per @FantasyPtsData ) Sure… Chris Rodriguez was 6th in rushing success % & had the 13th-lowest stuff % BUT… Bhayshul Tuten was 4th BEST in rushing success % & had the 4th-lowest stuff %.”

“Rodriguez will remain a worry for Tuten at the goal line and to his overall touch count until we see his role fleshed out this season, but if he can be the clear lead guy, he has the talent to match Etienne’s RB13 finish last year in fantasy points per game.”

“This could be the big breakout season for Tuten, who, on a per-touch basis, flashed the immense talent that I really liked when he was in college.”

“With Travis Etienne Jr. now in New Orleans, there are now more than 250 vacated touches in Jacksonville for Bhayshul Tuten and new running back addition Chris Rodriguez Jr.”

“The Bhayshul Tuten hype train has only continued to grow this offseason. Despite the threat of newly acquired Chris Rodriguez, Tuten’s ADP has been on a steady rise this summer.”

“Bhayshul Tuten being ranked outside of the top 24 in half-PPR feels criminal. Yes, he will face competition from Chris Rodriguez in camp, but all signs point towards Tuten winning the starting running back role for Jacksonville.”

“Some may call me crazy, but I call Tuten a league winner.”

“Bhayshul Tuten was picked almost entirely on per-touch efficiency. Among 55 qualifying running backs last year, he ranked fifth in rushing success rate and 11th in missed tackles forced, elite marks for a rookie.”

“With Travis Etienne gone, Bhayshul Tuten will compete with Chris Rodriguez to be the lead back for the Jaguars in 2026. I want to bet on Tuten this year and his talent. Last year, Tuten was unfortunately robbed of the stretch run of his rookie season as he was sidelined by a finger injury.”

“Mike sees the upside in Tuten, expecting him to be boot-scootin' up to top-end RB volume this season.”

“Tuten never got much work while the team leaned on Travis Etienne; however, Etienne is in New Orleans now, and the Jags brought in Chris Rodriguez (WAS) to help carry the load. This situation is eerily similar to Chase Brown before he broke out in his second year in Cincinnati.”

“Bhayshul Tuten didn't show much in his rookie season, with only one game over 30% snap share. Still, when he was on the field, he made an impression.”
