PHI Elijah Moore
NFL player. Position: Wide Receiver (WR). Team: Philadelphia Eagles.
Quick Facts
- Position: Wide Receiver
- Team: Philadelphia Eagles
2026 Outlook
Moore joined the Philadelphia Eagles on a one-year deal in early free agency after stints with the Bills and Broncos. The former second-round pick by the New York Jets in 2021 earned consensus All-American honors at Ole Miss in 2020, leading the nation in yards per game (147.1). With the Browns, his usage increased significantly with back-to-back seasons over 100 targets, averaging 589 receiving yards annually. However, Moore now faces a steep depth chart in Philadelphia. With DeVonta Smith, Makai Lemon, Hollywood Brown, Dontayvion Wicks, and others ahead of him, he's competing for a reserve role and special-teams consideration. He will participate in training camp but likely remains a depth piece rather than a fantasy-relevant contributor in 2026 (per Eagles 2026 Training Camp Position Preview: Wide Receiver)
Training camp roster battle (July 24): ESPN's Tim McManus projects Moore will be cut from the Eagles' 53-man roster during training camp as the team manages an overcrowded wide receiver room. With DeVonta Smith, Makai Lemon, Dontayvion Wicks, and Marquise Brown locked in, the final receiving spot comes down to a three-way competition between Moore, Johnny Wilson, and Darius Cooper. McManus' projection favors Wilson over Moore for the final roster spot. This would be a crushing blow for Moore, who is attempting to get his career back on track after disappointing seasons with Buffalo and Denver. Moore could remain on the Eagles' practice squad as an option, but his 2026 fantasy relevance has taken a significant hit given the depth chart logjam.
