Just get healthy and win me my league. Why is this so hard for him?

23

u/mets15ny 10 Team, .5 PPR 6h ago

Why can't he just rest through the bye and catch 2 tds every game after that? Are they dumb?

3

u/candynipples 4h ago

3 tds is more than 2 tds, so just do that one. Is it truly this hard?

19

u/Wandering_Mallard 5h ago

If i were an NFL receiver I would simply stay healthy and catch a lot of touchdowns

10

u/Clamper5978 5h ago

I would draft you if you did

1

u/electrictower 4h ago

I tell my wife this as we watch games and she don’t believe me. I’d never get tackled. I’d be too elusive and fast.

u/LeonardoOfVinci 6h ago

Same shit different day with this dude

2

u/Champizzle11 5h ago

They are gonna sit him through their bye. Sucks, but it is the smart move.

u/zZBluewalrusZz 6h ago

They played on Monday. He was never going to practice even slightly banged up. This doesnt mean anything, next two days matter

18

u/Shaq_Bolton 6h ago

Agreed but they do have a bye the week after this one

24

u/DirkDigglersPenis 6h ago

Semi hot take but I rather he sit

4

u/Sender343 5h ago

100%, I’ll take the chance at a somewhat healthy dj moore who’s gaining momentum in the playoffs vs the flashes of potential we’re seeing a few plays a game before he’s out

0

u/rare_with_hair 5h ago

Honestly, I agree. I'll lose this week 100%. But the bills didn't even want to pass without DJ. I hope he can return healthy and be the #1 target. Let me cope please

4

u/DirkDigglersPenis 5h ago

I don’t think it’s cope he’s been good the 2 games he didn’t get injured

•

u/No_Conclusion9808 10m ago

Not really. He was completely invisible in the game he got injured in the half getting no separation. Even the games he was “good” in relied on a scramble drill busted tackle TD for 40 yards. He’ll be fine when he’s back but he’s closer to washed than he is to his prime.

u/Tall-Frame9918 6h ago

If he sits, I might need to swallow a zero. With Gibbs on a bye, I’m in deep trouble anyway.

2

u/Sticky_Bandit 5h ago

You gotta fill that spot with someone that can score points, there's gotta be someone or if you have two dsts or backup qb, etc, something you can drop

-2

u/Tall-Frame9918 5h ago

I am too competitive to actually do it.

We play a 5 person bench. Gibbs on bye, Saquon, Davonta and Moore potentially not playing. I have Downs (also questionable) and Brian Robinson to fill in for 2 of them. Leaving me Hurts (week 7 vs Dallas for Allen’s bye) or Jordan Mason to drop for a WR if all three are injured. I have high hopes for Mason.

u/ididntwantsalmon19 2h ago

Nobody gives a shit what YOU want lol. Why do people post that stuff as if it means anything?

19

u/LumpySpaceGunter 6h ago

Why is them playing on Mknday relevant to DJ Moore if he didn't play?

5

u/sguru01 6h ago

They will rest him as they have bye next week.

1

u/Briggity_Brak 44m ago

HE didn't play on Monday. That doesn't factor into it at all.

18

u/rene_pal74 6h ago

They should let him rest this week ,They have a bye on week 7 , i think he'll be fully healthy week 8

7

u/RyLarMusic 5h ago

Completely agree. They clearly brought him back too early, you could see him grabbing at his shoulder every play lol. Let the dude heal

•

u/Slimshade16 8m ago

Xavier Worthy had one of these last year and it bothered him all season until he had surgery to fix it. It’s an injury that’s going to linger all year most likely and I wouldn’t be shocked if DJ is questionable every week

8

u/d12fsu 6h ago

I, too, am going against a DJ owner this week

3

u/greekyogurtmafia 5h ago

DJ Moore has two goose eggs this year from leaving mid game with that shoulder. I have DJ Moore and hope he sits

8

u/Jakflac 6h ago

This guy was dropped over the weekend bc the owner needed a starter last minute. What would you FAAB for him?

6

u/ZarakiBankai 5h ago

When he’s healthy he’s the best WR on a top 5 offense in the league. But depends on league size. I’m in a 12 man and I’d drop 70+ on him if he were on waivers.

2

u/Jakflac 5h ago

60 is unfortunately all I have

4

u/ZarakiBankai 5h ago

Well I’d hate to burn it all. And I’m a DJ owner so I may value him higher than others. But week 1 he balled out and 10 targets in week 3 are the only full games I have to go on and so that usage is not usually on the wire.

2

u/sguru01 6h ago

It happened in our league too. I got him for 20 bucks lol. The next bid was 12.

2

u/Jakflac 6h ago

I have 60 on it lol. I wanna know if I’m crazy or not

1

u/sguru01 6h ago

If you are lacking in wr depth, he is worth it. Although I would say he is most likely not playing this week as they have bye next week. I am not sure how competitive your league is. My league is moderately competitive, but they bid low on WRs.

1

u/Jakflac 5h ago

I’m not but I’m hoping to package a wide receiver and running back to get a better RB. It’s a long term play for a thin position bc there are no RBs in a 14 man league

1

u/Sender343 5h ago

If a player like Dj moore hit our leagues waivers everyone would max bid

1

u/obk227 2h ago

i got him for 10/100 there were no other bids! full ppr. 12 team. 3 wr. 5 bench 1 ir.

29

u/TheHurdleTurtle 6h ago

I’m sick of this dude

11

u/RES2104 6h ago

I hear you. I'm in good shape at the minute.

Just hoping he can get healthy and become a weekly flex down the road.

5

u/candynipples 4h ago

Funny being someone who traded for Moore last week. The Moore drafters are understandably losing patience but I’m still in a “aw shucks, oh well” state

1

u/jmajewski 3h ago

What did you trade him for? I’m trying to acquire him but I don’t know realistically what an owner would let him part for

1

u/candynipples 3h ago

Probably won’t get as lucky as me because I gave up Burden. Owner was frustrated with the two early injury game duds and potentially missing more weeks. I have a great team and could eat some injury weeks from Moore.

1

u/External_Fee6492 3h ago

I traded deebo and aaron jones a week ago before the deebo injury

5

u/SmokinSkinWagon 6h ago

I have him and Ladd. I also have Josh Allen, Kyren, Jamarr Chase, and Christian Watson yet I’m 1-4 because of these clowns

3

u/Sorry-Caterpillar872 6h ago

He’ll be good once fully healthy

-7

u/Nice-Bird-426 5h ago

Heard this for years

7

u/thirdc0ast 5h ago

Before this season he hadn’t missed a game in like 8 years, so no you haven’t heard “he’ll be good once he’s fully healthy”

1

u/Sender343 5h ago

Actually no we have heard it, regardless of him missing games or not he’s been perpetually banged up over the years

2

u/Foojira 6h ago

Same. If it wasn’t humiliating to drop him and watch him get instantly snagged he’d be someone else’s problem

0

u/Nice-Bird-426 5h ago

We tried to tell you

4

u/throw_away6453 6h ago

you know what’s always good for shoulder pain?

4

u/ImpactNo3695 6h ago

Can Allen please utilize Coleman

4

u/fifajackgento 5h ago

Hold him out through the bye please and thank you

3

u/JoshGordonHypeTrain 6h ago

Trade for him today but mostly with the thought of him just sitting out this week

3

u/Jim_Nills_Mustache 6h ago

I was so shocked Coleman wasn’t more involved

Fell for it again

6

u/DemaryiusThomas 5h ago

He had some big plays called back on penalties

6

u/BuffOrange 6h ago

I'm shocked that you were shocked.

5

u/Nugur 5h ago

I mean he got the only TD not named Josh Allen or James cook.

3

u/AwSnapz1 6h ago

How about that non contact jersey?

3

u/BunkHammer 6h ago

Kincaid will be trash until Moore returns

2

u/ZarakiBankai 5h ago

Good. Wait til after the bye and come back 100

1

u/RodAllensBurner 6h ago

Whole season cooked game 2, fuckin AC joints

1

u/BuffOrange 6h ago

Allen coulda walked in, wanted the passing TD.

1

u/jefe008 6h ago

same thing i told Alec Pierce- please get healthy and come back... i need you and i just trying to stay playoff eligible in the meantime.

1

u/Rarg 6h ago

Should we tell him?

1

u/latexallergy123 6h ago

Packaged him, hurts, JCM for Lamar and metcalf right before week 5 games. Still feel good about sending him away

1

u/ZarakiBankai 5h ago

He’s gonna feast in the 2nd half of the year. But Hurts is dead weight and the Steelers look to be finding themselves. Don’t hate it.

1

u/300waffles 12 Team, 1 PPR 6h ago

Sheeeeeeeeit

1

u/bbk34 10 Team, 1 PPR 5h ago

Rule him out so I can switch him with Brown if he plays without dropping anyone else

1

u/TheBirdDJ 5h ago

Wrestling with the fact I need him badly after my Deebo injury 😩 really do not wanna start Keenan Allen lol

1

u/pulga_07 4h ago

Gave up cooper and m Wilson for dj Moore. Good trade?

•

u/No_Conclusion9808 1m ago

No I’d rather have Wilson over Moore ROS

1

u/Dale_Gribble- 3h ago

Can't Believe I traded Evans away instead of him.

Evans kept going down so I thought it would only be a matter of time before he missed a couple weeks

1

u/JoshAllentown 6h ago

Not starting him until after the game he blows up and everyone talks all high and mighty about starting him like he didn't hurt their lineup every week before that.

3

u/Chlorophyllmatic 6h ago

He hurt lineups on two weeks but also helped lineups on the other two weeks so

-3

u/Big_Cook5773 6h ago

Honestly even if he was healthy I wouldnt trust Allen to get him consistent targets anyways

10

u/Frustratedtx 6h ago

What? The two weeks he actually played the whole game he got 8 and 10 targets.

7

u/UWMN 6h ago

What a dumb take

5

u/sguru01 6h ago

He is wr1 on the team. Weeks 1 and 2 were testimony of that.

•

u/No_Conclusion9808 0m ago

Week 2 he had 0 catches on 0 targets the entire half against a terrible Lions secondary

0

u/aNuggetsUncle 5h ago

This is a worse injury than I think even the Bills initially understood because he traveled with the team to LA (which is a good sign).

But now he isn't practicing....

-2

u/heng129 6h ago

When do i drop him

3

u/Sender343 5h ago

Today preferably, my dj moore could use a blood sacrifice bump from you. Thx

1

u/heng129 5h ago

Lmao i cant wait to flex him again over jcm and concepcion 😭

-2

u/KillermooseD 6h ago

I’d be a lot less understanding if he was my WR 2, luckily he’s my 2nd flex piece and in #2 seed
