Moore reverted to the Broncos' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Moore was brought up from the Broncos' practice squad for Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Patriots and was active due to the absence of Troy Franklin (hamstring). Moore ended up playing seven snaps on offense after Pat Bryant left in the second quarter due to a hamstring injury, and the former finished Sunday's loss with one catch on as many targets for four yards. It was Moore's lone appearance for the Broncos this season after starting the year with the Bills before being cut by Buffalo in late November. The fifth-year pro will be an unrestricted free agent in the offseason and will look to join a team in need of depth at wide receiver.

Broncos' Elijah Moore: Elevated for Sunday
Rotowire
The Broncos elevated Moore from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.
Moore will receive his first elevation as a Bronco, and Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Patriots could be his first game action since he played for the Bills in a Week 12 loss to the Texans. The wide receiver will serve as a depth option if Troy Franklin (hamstring) cannot play. If Franklin is ruled out, Moore will operate as the No. 5 receiver behind Courtland Sutton, Pat Bryant, Marvin Mims and Lil'Jordan Humphrey.

Elijah Moore: Lands back on practice squad
Rotowire
The Broncos reverted Moore to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Moore was elevated ahead of Saturday's divisional-round victory over the Bills but ended up being a healthy scratch. He's yet to get into a game for Denver -- all nine of his appearances this season came when he was a member of the Bills. However, two of Denver's wideouts (Troy Franklin (hamstring) and Pat Bryant (concussion)) suffered injuries Saturday, so Moore may be pressed into action Sunday in the AFC Championship Game against New England.

Broncos' Elijah Moore: Not playing Saturday
Rotowire
Moore (coach's decision) is inactive for Saturday's divisional-round matchup against the Bills, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.
Moore won't make his debut with the Broncos despite having been elevated off the practice squad Friday. Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin and Pat Bryant should continue to serve as the team's top wideouts during Saturday's game.

Broncos' Elijah Moore: Elevated from practice squad
Rotowire
The Broncos elevated Moore from the practice squad Friday.
Perhaps not so coincidentally, Moore was cut by the Bills in November and will now join Denver's gameday roster for Saturday's divisional-round matchup against Buffalo. The 25-year-old appeared in nine games for the Bills during the regular season, securing nine of 17 targets for 112 scoreless yards. Moore is unlikely to have a prominent offensive role with all of Denver's wideouts healthy.

Elijah Moore: Catches on with Denver
Rotowire
Moore signed with the Broncos' practice squad Tuesday, Aric DiLalla of Denver's official site reports.
Denver will mark the fourth stop of Moore's five-year NFL career, after the 25-year-old wideout previously had stints with the Jets, Browns and Bills since entering the league as a second-round pick in 2021. Before being cut by Buffalo last week, Moore had been active for nine of the team's first 11 games and produced a 9-112-0 receiving line on 17 targets while adding 24 yards and a touchdown on six carries. All five of Denver's receivers on the 53-man roster are healthy at the moment, so Moore won't necessarily be in line for an elevation from the practice squad for the team's Week 14 matchup with the Raiders.

Elijah Moore: Visits Denver
Rotowire
Moore was hosted by the Broncos for a visit Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Moore was waived by the Bills on Wednesday, but he has yet to find a new home. The wide receiver caught nine of 17 targets for 112 yards while also adding 24 yards and a score on six carries over nine games with Buffalo this season. The 25-year-old would provide Denver with another experienced option at wideout if the team deems him worthy of a deal.

Elijah Moore: Let go by Bills
Rotowire
The Bills waived Moore on Wednesday.
Following the addition of fellow wideout Brandin Cooks, the Bills elected to part ways with Moore. In nine games to date this season, the 2021 second-round pick has recorded nine catches (on 17 targets) for 112 yards while carrying six times for 24 yards and a touchdown. Moore could catch on elsewhere in the coming days, but unless he lands in an ideal spot, he'll remain off the fantasy radar.

Bills' Elijah Moore: One catch Thursday
Rotowire
Moore caught one of three targets for minus-3 yards in Thursday's 23-19 loss to the Texans.
Moore returned to action after being a healthy scratch in Week 11 against the Buccaneers, but his contributions remained minimal. The Bills are searching for consistent production at wide receiver behind Khalil Shakir, but Moore doesn't seem to be the answer.

Bills' Elijah Moore: Minimal output in win
Rotowire
Moore caught his lone target for 28 yards during Sunday's 28-21 win over the Chiefs.
Moore appeared to be in line for more opportunities in Week 9 with Joshua Palmer (knee) sidelined for the second consecutive game. However, the Ole Miss product operated as the team's No. 5 wideout, playing behind Keon Coleman, Khalil Shakir, Tyrell Shavers and Curtis Samuel. Through seven appearances this season, Moore has caught six of 12 targets for 106 yards and rushed five times for 25 yards and a touchdown. He'll likely continue to play a depth role in Buffalo's receiving corps in the Week 10 matchup against the Dolphins.

Bills' Elijah Moore: Mistake-prone Week 6
Rotowire
Moore failed to catch either of his two targets in Monday night's loss to the Falcons.
With Curtis Samuel (neck) inactive and Joshua Palmer (ankle) going down in the first half, Moore saw increased action on offense, totaling 14 snaps. However, he was unable to corral either target and also muffed a handoff on a fourth-and-short jet sweep. Moore has five catches for 25 yards and one touchdown on seven targets this season.

Bills' Elijah Moore: Active against Atlanta
Rotowire
Moore is active for Monday night's game against the Falcons.
Moore was healthy inactive in the Week 5 Sunday night loss to New England, but with Curtis Samuel (neck) out Monday night, Moore will draw back into the lineup. Moore has four catches for 64 scoreless yards this season.

Bills' Elijah Moore: Inactive Sunday
Rotowire
Moore (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday night's contest against the Patriots.
Moore will be a healthy scratch in Week 5, heading to the bench after failing to garner a target over 18 offensive snaps in the team's 31-19 win over the Saints in Week 4. The wide receiver has caught four of five targets for 64 yards, while also adding 25 yards and a score over five carries, through four games this season.

Bills' Elijah Moore: Catches two passes in TNF victory
Rotowire
Moore caught two of three targets for 30 yards in Buffalo's 31-21 win over the Dolphins on Thursday night. He added one rush for 11 yards.
Moore operated as the Bills' WR4 against Miami, seeing 14 offensive snaps. Buffalo spreads the ball around so much that it's nearly impossible to predict target shares for the team's pass catchers. Moore is little more than an end-of-bench option in the deepest of PPR fantasy leagues.

Bills' Elijah Moore: Three touches in win
Rotowire
Moore caught his lone target for 31 yards and carried the ball twice for six yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-10 win over the Jets.
Moore followed up his quiet season opener with a better statistical day Sunday, finding the end zone for the first time this season. With that said, the veteran wideout was still mostly an afterthought in the Bills offensive scheme, as he was targeted just once in the passing game while playing just 40 percent of Buffalo's offensive snaps. Moore's limited role in the offense makes him very difficult to trust for fantasy purposes heading into a Week 2 matchup against the Dolphins.

Bills' Elijah Moore: Three catches in preseason finale
Rotowire
Moore brought in three of four targets for eight yards in the Bills' 23-19 preseason win over the Buccaneers on Saturday night.
Moore started the game for the Bills and worked with fourth-string quarterback Shane Buechele, recording multiple receptions for the first time this preseason. The 2021 second-round pick of the Jets is expected to play an important complementary role in his debut campaign in Buffalo after compiling 120 receptions over 34 regular-season games with the Browns the last two years, with Moore likely to open the season as the No. 4 receiver.

Bills' Elijah Moore: Could practice this week
Rotowire
Bills GM Brandon Beane said Wednesday that Moore (leg) may be able to resume practicing Thursday or Friday, Ryan O'Halloran of The Buffalo News reports.
Moore hasn't practiced since Sunday due to general leg soreness, but it doesn't appear Buffalo anticipates him being sidelined much longer. The 2021 second-round pick inked a one-year, $5 million deal with the Bills in May and appears to be competing for the No. 3 or No. 4 receiver role, though Buffalo's WR corps isn't particularly solidified beyond No. 1 option Khalil Shakir. Meanwhile, Beane said Curtis Samuel (hamstring) could return "sooner rather than later," albeit not as quickly as Moore.

Browns' Elijah Moore: Limited production in finale
Rotowire
Moore recorded three receptions on five targets for 36 yards in Saturday's 35-10 loss to the Ravens.
Moore served as Cleveland's third pass catcher, but with poor quarterback play, that didn't amount to much production. He ends the season in disappointing fashion, having failed to top 35 receiving yards in five consecutive games. Nevertheless, Moore did set a career high with 61 catches on the season, and he'll be set to enter free agency for the first time this offseason.

Browns' Elijah Moore: Another forgettable game
Rotowire
Moore caught one of five targets for one yard in Sunday's 20-3 loss to Miami in Week 17.
Following a brief spasm of production in the middle of the season, when Jameis Winston took over as the starting quarterback, Moore has provided little of late. He's caught five of 15 targets for 21 yards over the last three games, with Dorian Thompson-Robinson atop the depth chart. The lack of production comes at a time when both Cedric Tillman (concussion) and David Njoku (knee) were inactive or limited by injury.

Browns' Elijah Moore: Two catches in Week 16 loss
Rotowire
Moore secured two of five targets for 21 yards in the Browns' 24-6 loss to the Bengals on Sunday.
Dorian Thompson-Robinson's ascension to the starting quarterback job didn't really do any Browns pass catchers any favors with the exception of David Njoku, as is evident in Moore's pedestrian receiving line. The fourth-year pro actually outpaced Jerry Jeudy, who'd been on a torrid pace with Jameis Winston (shoulder) under center, by two targets and one receiving yard Sunday, but that didn't amount to any tangible fantasy value. Moore could be headed to even more unremarkable numbers in Week 17 when the Dolphins come to town, due both to Miami's talented secondary and the fact Cedric Tillman (concussion) may be ready to return to action.
