DJ Moore
WR
Buffalo BillsQ
- Teammate Dalton Kincaid (a top target) is questionable.
- Teammate Keon Coleman (a top target) is questionable.
A hurt top target or lead back nudges the projection up a little, since their work tends to shift to teammates. QB and offensive-line flags are shown for context but do not change the number.
This is how WRs have played against the Chiefs in the 2026 season.
WR2 = the second-highest-scoring WR against Chiefs in each game, not a fixed depth-chart spot.

How DJ Moore should do vs the ChiefsSeason log, the group you pick, and a projection
Season so far, compared with what the group you pick below has done against the Chiefs, plus a projection for this game.
What is this table?
Rows at the top are every game DJ Moore has played this season, using the same stat columns as the table above.
Compare against picks which group of Chiefs opponents to line them up with: the best WR they faced in each game (1), the second best (2), the third best (3), or all of the top three. Nobody knows which slot DJ Moore will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.
Chiefs avg is the average line of that group. Difference is that minus DJ Moore's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than DJ Moore usually produces.
Projected is DJ Moore's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Chiefs were to the slot you picked. Change the slot and the projected points change, because each slot has a different matchup adjustment. Picking Top 3 uses the usual-role projection.

| Projected as WR2 | 5.9 | 3.5 | 56.6 | 0.4 | 10.3 | |
Difference is what the defense allows minus what Moore averages (green = defense gives up more). Projected stats scale the player's averages by the matchup adjustment, so they are a rough guide.
Start / Sit · DJ MooreGood confidence · 10.3 proj pts5/10 start
- DJ Moore averages 13.3 PPR points over 4 games (recent-weighted 12.8) and has played as the team's WR2.
- The Chiefs have allowed 7.1 points to WR2s over 7 games (-18% vs league). The model applies 70% of that gap because the sample is small, giving a -13% adjustment.
- Last season's average (10.1) is blended in at 33% weight because this season's sample is small.
- Injury report: Questionable. The projection assumes the player plays.
- Projection: 10.3 points.
- For reference, a typical weekly starter-level WR scores about 12.2 and a top-tier one about 20.9.

Prediction & chance to scoreDJ Moore vs the Chiefs
Prediction for DJ Moore
Nobody knows which slot DJ Moore will land in this week, so pick the one you expect. The projection changes because each slot faces a different average from the Chiefs.
I predict about 10.3 points for DJ Moore if playing as a WR2. DJ Moore has averaged 13.3 over 4 games, and the Chiefs have given up 7.1 to WR2s (-18% vs the league average of 8.8).
How this projection is built
1. The player. DJ Moore scored: Wk 1 21.0, Wk 3 12.7, Wk 4 2.7, Wk 8 16.6. Average 13.3; weighted toward recent games it is 11.9.
2. The defense. Over 7 games, the Chiefs allowed 7.1 points to their opponent's WR2. The league average for that slot is 8.8, so that is -18%.
3. Trusting small samples less. With 7 defensive games, only 70% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a -13% adjustment (x0.87).
4. Result. 11.9 x 0.87 = 10.3. Switching slots only changes step 2 and 3: the player's own numbers stay the same, but each slot faces a different defensive average.
It is a statistical model, not knowledge of injuries, game script or weather.
Chance to score
Type a point total to see how likely DJ Moore is to reach it as a WR2.
Why this percentage?
The projection (10.3) is the middle of the range. Fantasy scores swing a lot from game to game, so the model spreads possible scores around it by about 7.3 points, leaning on DJ Moore's own game-to-game swings once there are several games (and on typical WR swings before that).
Scores are modelled as right-skewed, since a big game is possible but a very negative one is not. The percentage is the share of that spread at or above 10.
With only 4 games of history, treat this as a rough gauge. It gets sharper as the season goes on. It is never lower than 1% or higher than 99%.
