Will Josh Allen's fantasy value increase with the Bills trading for DJ Moore?

Answered 2026-06-13 · from the ChatFFB news wiki

Yes, absolutely — the Bills actually did trade for DJ Moore this offseason, and it's a big boost for Josh Allen's fantasy value. Here's the breakdown:

Why it helps Allen:

  • Khalil Shakir led Bills WRs with just 719 yards in 2025 — a clear weapon deficit. Moore instantly becomes the No. 1 receiver and gives Allen a true alpha target again (from the Josh Allen page).
  • Moore is one of only five receivers with 50+ catches on 20+ air-yard throws over the past five seasons (alongside Lamb, Jefferson, Hill, and Pickens). And Allen's 2026 offseason focus? Improving his deep ball mechanics. That's a perfect match (from the DJ Moore page).
  • Allen's track record with elite receivers speaks for itself — Stefon Diggs finished as WR3, WR7, WR4, and WR10 during their time together. One analyst predicts Moore cracks the top-10 WRs despite being drafted as WR23.

But don't overthink it: Allen was already the consensus QB1 for 2026, going in the middle of the third round. His rushing floor — 640 yards and 10.8 rushing TDs per season over five years — is what puts him in a tier of his own. Moore adds ceiling on top of that floor.

Reality check from OTAs: Head coach Joe Brady warned the chemistry won't be instant — Allen has been throwing forced passes in spring to feel out Moore's timing and body language, with some awkward moments. But by training camp, it should click (from the DJ Moore page).
