The Ole Miss product finished his college career on a high note, earning All-American and First Team All-SEC honors during his final season with the Rebels. The Jets selected him early in the second round of the 2021 draft.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Elijah Moore at Ole Miss was \ud83d\udd25 <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/BillsMafia?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#BillsMafia<\/a> <a  href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/WFNxIVb3kW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/WFNxIVb3kW<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; SleeperBills (@SleeperBills) <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SleeperBills\/status\/1917742883093860618?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">May 1, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>His production hasn&#8217;t matched the expectations, though. His modest 61 catches with the Browns last year represented a new career high. He&#8217;s also recorded just four touchdowns in 50 appearances across the past three seasons.<\/p>\n<p>There could be a legitimate reason for the limited output, however: terrible quarterback play. Here&#8217;s a look at the combined passer rating for the quarterbacks throwing to Moore during his career:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>2021 (Jets): 76.0<\/li>\n<li>2022 (Jets): 75.0<\/li>\n<li>2023 (Browns): 73.7<\/li>\n<li>2024 (Browns): 71.4<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Saying those numbers are terrible may be an understatement. Luckily for Moore, now he gets to work alongside perhaps the NFL&#8217;s best quarterback, reigning MVP <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2025\/03\/19\/josh-allen-dynasty-outlook-2025-fantasy-football-nfl-mvp-buffalo-bills\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Josh Allen<\/a>. It&#8217;s an upgrade for monumental proportions.<\/p>\n<p>So, if you&#8217;re buying stock in Moore expecting a breakout campaign, that&#8217;s the best argument in his favor.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_232869\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-232869\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-232869\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/05\/USATSI_25048023_168400545_lowres-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/05\/USATSI_25048023_168400545_lowres-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/05\/USATSI_25048023_168400545_lowres-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/05\/USATSI_25048023_168400545_lowres-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/05\/USATSI_25048023_168400545_lowres-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/05\/USATSI_25048023_168400545_lowres-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/05\/USATSI_25048023_168400545_lowres-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/05\/USATSI_25048023_168400545_lowres.jpg 1590w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-232869\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dec 22, 2024; Cincinnati, Ohio, USA; Cleveland Browns wide receiver Elijah Moore (8) catches a pass against the Cincinnati Bengals in the second half at Paycor Stadium.

Playing with Allen presents a breakthrough opportunity. The Bills&#8217; roster depth will likely prevent him from skyrocketing too far up the WR rankings, though.<\/p>\n<h3>What To Do With Buffalo&#8217;s Wide Receiver in Dynasty Leagues<\/h3>\n<p>Moore feels like a good trade target in dynasty formats. Yes, managers must accept the risk. He may fail to make Buffalo&#8217;s roster and end up being a useless fantasy asset this season. Yet, he&#8217;s also one injury away from being a starter on one of the league&#8217;s best offenses.<\/p>\n<p>His current KeepTradeCut ranking equates to a WR7 in 12-team leagues. He has the potential to outplay that placement by a wide margin. It wouldn&#8217;t be a total shock to see him finish inside the top 40 fantasy receivers.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the acquisition cost should be low. The worst-case scenario sees him get cut by the Bills and fail to find another team before Week 1. Even in that situation, the lack of investment cost makes him an easy first drop to pick up a camp standout.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">What can Elijah Moore bring the Bills offense?
