Elijah Moore Sees Fewest Targets Among Winston Games

Browns WR Elijah Moore drew just 4 targets in Sunday's loss to the Steelers. That marked his fewest in a game since Week 6, the game before Deshaun Watson went down for the season. Moore managed 3 receptions for 34 yards, his third game among the past five with just 3 catches.

Moore has followed each of his strong outings with QB Jameis Winston by turning in a stinker. Just check his weekly receiving lines in Winston starts:

8-85 vs. Baltimore
3-28 vs. L.A. Chargers
6-66-1 at New Orleans
3-21 vs. Pittsburgh
8-111 at Denver
3-34 at Pittsburgh

It's important to keep both the upside and the risk in mind when you're deciding whether to stick Moore in your fantasy football lineup.

Sunday's game found only David Njoku and jerry Jeudy drawing more targets. But Moore got just four looks despite Winston attempting 41 throws.

He gets a fairly neutral set of matchups the rest of the way, according to our adjusted fantasy points allowed to WRs.
