Browns' Elijah Moore: Lots of targets, few catches
Elijah Moore caught three of nine targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Chargers.Moore has received healthy target volume the last three weeks, averaging nine per contest, and he's amassed 154 yards during that stretch. That increased workload was expected after the Cleveland Browns traded Amari Cooper (wrist), but so far Moore hasn't capitalized. Outside of a few random efforts during his 26-game stay in Cleveland, he's been unremarkable. The wide receiver is in the final year of a two-year contract and could be a candidate to be dealt with the NFL trade deadline looming Tuesday.

Browns' Elijah Moore: Target leader in win
Elijah Moore caught eight of 12 targets for 81 yards in Sunday's 29-24 win over the Ravens in Week 8.Moore established season highs in catches, targets and yards, and he wasn't the only receiver to benefit from Jameis Winston taking over at quarterback for the injured Deshaun Watson (Achilles). Winston wasn't perfect -- he lost a fumble and two passes could easily have been intercepted -- but he guided the offense to its most points scored this season and made onlookers wonder what could have been had head coach Kevin Stefanski replaced Watson sooner. Moore has 14 catches on 18 targets for 122 yards the last two weeks and may have resuscitated a season that had been going nowhere after the first six games.

Browns' Elijah Moore: Seven targets in loss
Elijah Moore caught six of seven targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 21-14 loss to Cincinnati in Week 7.The last time Moore saw activity as significant as this was in Week 2. Sunday was the Cleveland Browns' first game since they traded Amari Cooper to Buffalo, and Moore was expected to see more opportunities. In fact, Sunday's production was greater than his previous three weeks combined. That's the good news. The not-so-good news is that second-year wideout Cedric Tillman (12 targets, eight catches) emerged as a viable competitor for the available targets going forward, and quarterback Deshaun Watson suffered a potentially season-ending Achilles injury.

Browns' Elijah Moore: Not on injury report
Elijah Moore (rib) doesn't appear on the Cleveland Browns' initial Week 7 injury report that was released Wednesday.Per Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com, head coach Kevin Stefanski said after Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Eagles that Moore was dealing with a rib issue, but the injury is evidently not a concern for the wideout as this weekend's contest against the Bengals approaches. Through six games to date, Moore has caught 16 of his 23 targets for 95 yards, but he could see added opportunities in Cleveland's offense moving forward following the departure of Amari Cooper, who led the team with 53 targets prior to being traded to the Bills on Tuesday.

Browns' Elijah Moore: Dealing with rib issue
Following Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Eagles, coach Kevin Stefanski noted that Elijah Moore is dealing with a rib injury, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.Moore finished up the contest with one catch for three yards. Look for added context regarding the wideout's injury to arrive no later than Wednesday, but if he's out or limited next weekend against the Bengals, Cedric Tillman would be a candidate for added Week 6 snaps.

Browns' Elijah Moore: Four targets in loss
Elijah Moore caught three of four targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 34-13 loss to Washington.Moore continued to be a distant third at wide receiver behind Amari Cooper and Jerry Jeudy, This was the fourth time in five games that Moore had 17 receiving yards or fewer. The one bright note is that he got his first red-zone target of the season. He has just 92 yards through five weeks, eight targets over the last three games, and a meager 4.5 aDOT.

Browns' Elijah Moore: One touch in loss
Elijah Moore caught his lone target for 11 yards in Sunday's 20-16 loss to Las Vegas.Moore's touch came on the Cleveland Browns' first drive -- perhaps their best of the season -- and converted a 3rd-and-10. That was the end of his involvement, however. He opened the season with 14 targets over the first two weeks, but Moore has lagged behind Amari Cooper and Jerry Jeudy and been targeted just four times the last two games. Until the Browns can get their erratic offense going -- Cleveland has yet to score more than 20 points in a game, and the defense was responsible for one of its four touchdowns -- Moore does not appear to be a viable fantasy asset.

Browns' Elijah Moore: Season-low three targets
Elijah Moore caught two of three targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 21-15 loss to the Giants.For the second time in three games, Moore was held to fewer than 20 yards. His one productive effort was in Week 2's win over the Jaguars, when the Cleveland Browns showed a more balanced offense, though far from a highly functioning unit. That side of the ball is a growing concern early on. Cleveland hasn't yet cracked the 20-point mark, and head coach Kevin Stefanski appears reluctant to establish the ground game behind a banged-up offensive line. Quarterback Deshaun Watson has also disappointed. Moore has eight fewer targets and 58 fewer yards through three weeks than he had at this time in 2023, but that was expected after the Browns added Jerry Jeudy during the offseason. Perhaps an equalized run/pass mix and a better performing quarterback could result in Moore being a reliable and viable fantasy wideout.

Browns' Elijah Moore: Commands eight targets
Elijah Moore recorded six receptions on eight targets for 44 yards in Sunday's 18-13 win over the Jaguars.Moore tied with Amari Cooper for the team lead in targets, and he served as Deshaun Watson's favorite target in the short areas of the field. Five of his six catches went for fewer than 10 yards, and even his 22-yard reception came primarily after the catch. Moore will remain involved in the offense so long as Watson is under center, but he's not likely to post high yardage totals.

Browns' Elijah Moore: Quiet in season opener
Elijah Moore caught three of six targets for nine yards in Sunday's 33-17 loss to Dallas in Week 1.Moore played 71 snaps, a comparable workload to Amari Cooper (72) and Jerry Jeudy (62). None of the three had great success in the opener as the Cleveland offensive line failed to protect Deshaun Watson, but Jeudy was able to salvage his fantasy day with a touchdown. At the very least, it looks like Moore is the No. 3 wideout ahead of Cedric Tillman (26 snaps). It's early in Moore's second season with the Cleveland Browns, and he hasn't had the luxury of playing with the best version of Watson, but things haven't panned out the way the team envisioned when it traded for Moore ahead of the 2023 campaign.
