Carolina Panthers WR D.J. Moore agreed to a 3-year contract extension at the beginning of the year, meaning he is likely to stay in Charlotte for a while.
The key term for describing Moore’s play is consistent. Moore’s past 3 seasons have had him receiving just over 1,100 yards and tabbing around an average of 82 receptions per season; he also has put up 4 touchdowns each.
Below, we look at D.J. Moore‘s 2022 fantasy football average draft position (ADP) and where you should draft him.
Moore being the consistent player he is makes him a dependable pick for your fantasy team this year. He may even build on his stats to elevate his performance this season.
D. J. Moore’s ADP: 44.20
(ADP data courtesy of MyFantasyLeague.com; last updated at time of this publishing – ADPs continually change as more drafts occur)
Moore has an ADP of 44.20 in redraft leagues, which puts him in the mid to late 4th round of the fantasy drafts. His ADP is lower than his teammate Christian McCaffrey (3.30).
Among wide receivers, Moore’s ADP puts him 14th at the position, behind the likes of A.J. Brown (Philadelphia Eagles), and Tee Higgins (Cincinnati Bengals) and slightly ahead of Diontae Johnson (Pittsburgh Steelers), and Mike Williams (Los Angeles Chargers).

Where should you draft Moore?
Moore’s fantasy value should get a boost this year with the arrival of QB Baker Mayfield. Moore hasn’t had a consistent quarterback throughout his entire tenure with the Panthers.
Mayfield should be the most aggressive passer Moore has had.
Moore will be the main receiving target, but McCaffrey will be a large part of the passing game which should actually boost Moore’s production and extend possessions for Carolina.
Moore finished 18th with QB Sam Darnold and many others throwing him the ball. Expect Moore, who saw 163 targets last season (6th most in the NFL), to possible have his best season yet.
Draft Moore in the 4th round, and I wouldn’t hate taking him in the late 3rd either. He’s been healthy and a major factor for an offense that should be improved (not to mention Carolina got the best offensive lineman in the draft).
He’s even more valuable in PPR leagues because of his target share for the Panthers.
