Carolina Panthers WR DJ Moore will have a new quarterback to build rapport with heading into the 2021 NFL campaign. Below, we look at DJ Moore‘s 2021 fantasy football average draft position (ADP) and where you should draft him.
Moore has recorded back-to-back 1,000-yard campaigns for the Panthers despite the fact he has had to work with several different starting quarterbacks. He’ll get another new face under center this season, as QB Sam Darnold takes the reins of the offense in 2021.
Moore’s ADP: 53.17

Moore has been in the top 25 among wide receivers off the board during fantasy drafts. He has been picked as early as the latter part of Round 4 in some leagues of 12 or more teams.
The receiver enjoyed his finest season in 2020 in terms of average yardage per reception at 18.1 yards. While he went from 87 receptions in 2019 to a mere 66 grabs in 2020, he actually posted 18 more receiving yards at 1,193 while turning in four touchdowns for the second consecutive campaign.

Where should you take Moore in your fantasy football draft?
Moore has kind of snuck up on fantasy managers. He burst onto the scene in his rookie campaign of 2018 with 55 grabs, 788 yards and two touchdowns working with QB Cam Newton.
As mentioned, he had his first 1,000-yard season in 2019, and he jelled nicely with QB Teddy Bridgewater last season, producing big numbers despite the addition of WR Robby Anderson on the other side.
Now, Moore will get a chance to work with a new QB in Darnold, starting with a normal training camp and preseason to jell with the new signal caller.
Moore will be an outstanding WR2 in most fantasy formats, especially in PPR leagues. He has shown durability. He is consistent and it doesn’t matter if there is a new quarterback running the offense, as Moore is tremendously adaptable.
Start looking for Moore at the end of Round 4 or into Round 5 in fantasy drafts with 12 or more teams. He doesn’t get the press and attention like other players in a similar area of the draft like Dallas Cowboys WR Amari Cooper (ADP 52.88) or Tennessee Titans WR Julio Jones (ADP 51.77), but Moore is just as productive and easily in the same league as those more heralded wideouts.
