Browns' Elijah Moore: Stays limited on practice report
Rotowire
The Browns listed Moore (shoulder) as a limited practice participant Tuesday.
Moore has now gone down as a limited participant on the Browns' first two Week 12 injury reports, but the team hasn't yet suggested that he's in any danger of missing Thursday's game against the Steelers. The fourth-year wideout has enjoyed his best run of production of the season since Jameis Winston took over as the starting quarterback, recording 17 receptions for 179 yards and a touchdown on 29 targets over the past three contests.

Browns' Elijah Moore: Week 12 Adds (WR Preview)
Rotowire
Moore was my top add of last week, and he's still only 19% rostered. I would expect that will go up after he scored 18.6 PPR Fantasy points against the Saints. Moore has 29 targets over his last three games, and he's scored at least 16.5 PPR Fantasy points in two of those. All three of Moore, Jerry Jeudy, and Cedric Tillman are startable with Jameis Winston under center.

Browns' Elijah Moore: Week 12 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Moore has thrived with Jameis Winston under center for the past three games, including a season-high 18.6 PPR points in Week 11 at New Orleans. That's now two of his past three outings with at least 16.5 PPR points, and he has 29 combined targets in all three starts for Winston (at least eight targets in each contest). The Browns have three receivers making plenty of plays for Winston with Moore, Jerry Jeudy and Cedric Tillman, and not all three will post consistent stats. And Cleveland has a tough schedule coming up with Pittsburgh twice (Weeks 12 and 14), Denver (Week 13) and Kansas City (Week 15). But Moore is clearly going to get plenty of targets from Winston, and he's worth adding in all leagues for at least 10 percent of your remaining FAB.

Browns' Elijah Moore: Appears on Week 12 injury report
Rotowire
The Browns listed Moore as a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report due to a shoulder injury, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Cleveland didn't hold a practice session one day after Sunday's 35-14 loss to New Orleans, but Moore would have had his reps capped had the Browns taken the field. The Browns aren't likely to hold anything more than walk-through sessions or light practices Tuesday and Wednesday, but assuming Moore is listed as either a limited or full participant on those days, he should be ready to play in Thursday's game against the Steelers. In the three games since Jameis Winston has taken over for Deshaun Watson (Achilles) as the Browns' starting quarterback, Moore has produced a 17-179-1 line on 29 targets, with his yardage total exceeding his combined output (136 yards) from Cleveland's first seven games of the season.

Browns' Elijah Moore: Finds end zone in New Orleans
Rotowire
Moore caught six of eight targets for 66 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-14 loss to the Saints,
The fourth-year wideout was on the other end of a 30-yard Jameis Winston TD in the third quarter, giving Moore his first score of the season. In three games with Winston as the Browns' starting QB, Moore has racked up a 17-179-1 line on 29 targets, giving him intriguing upside for the rest of 2024. He faces a tougher matchup in Week 12 against the Steelers, however.

Browns' Elijah Moore: Week 11 Adds (WR Preview)
Rotowire
My top two adds at the wide receiver position are both Browns, what could go wrong? Elijah Mooore has 27 targets in his last three games, Jerry Jeudy has 25. Both are in play as number three wide receivers against the Saints in Week 11. Jeudy had his best game of the season, with 14.3 PPR Fantasy points in the Browns last game, Moore was even better with 16.5 in Week 8. I prefer Moore in full PPR and Jeudy in half or non.

Browns' Elijah Moore: Week 10 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
In two games with Jameis Winston, Moore has 21 targets. He only has 11 catches for 113 yards and no touchdowns over that span, but he could emerge as a No. 3 PPR receiver as the season goes on. Even though Cleveland is on a bye in Week 10, it's not a bad idea to stash Moore in deeper leagues for 1 percent of your remaining FAB.

Browns' Elijah Moore: Lots of targets, few catches
Rotowire
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 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: Sleeper WRs
Rotowire
Cedric Tillman has more upside based on what we've seen in the past two games since Amari Cooper was traded to Buffalo, but Moore has quietly done well in those outings against Cincinnati and Baltimore. He has 18 targets over that span for 14 catches and 126 yards, and he scored 16.5 PPR points against the Ravens in Week 8. Most of the attention from the Chargers should go to Tillman, who has 15 catches for 180 yards and two touchdowns on 21 targets in the past two games, and David Njoku, while Moore can still be a reliable weapon for Jameis Winston. I don't mind using Moore as a No. 3 Fantasy receiver in Week 9.

Browns' Elijah Moore: Week 9 Adds (WR Preview)
Rotowire
Moore led the Browns with 12 targets in Jameis Winston's first start and caught eight of them for 16.5 PPR Fantasy points. It was his second straight game with double-digit Fantasy points after reaching that mark just once in six tries with Deshaun Watson. If that volume repeats in Week 9, we'll be viewing Moore as a must-start in full PPR.

Browns' Elijah Moore: Target leader in win
Rotowire
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
Rotowire
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 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
Rotowire
Moore (rib) doesn't appear on the 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
Rotowire
Following Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Eagles, coach Kevin Stefanski noted that 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
Rotowire
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
Rotowire
Moore caught his lone target for 11 yards in Sunday's 20-16 loss to Las Vegas.
Moore's touch came on the 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
Rotowire
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 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: Week 3 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
While the Browns offense hasn't looked good throwing the ball, Moore still has 14 targets in two games. He only has nine catches for 53 yards to show for it, but Moore could be a stash candidate in deeper leagues. And he has a favorable matchup in Week 3 against the Giants. Moore is worth adding for 1 percent of your remaining FAB.

Browns' Elijah Moore: Commands eight targets
Rotowire
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: In concussion protocol
Rotowire
Moore is working his way through concussion protocol, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski didn't specify that Moore has a concussion, so it's possible that his placement in protocol is precautionary. The wideout left practice early Friday and was subsequently evaluated for a concussion. It remains to be seen if he'll be ready to play in Cleveland's first preseason game against Green Bay on Saturday, Aug. 10.
