NFL wide receiver Elijah Moore is a potential 2021 fantasy football sleeper and ADP draft value. Target him as an undervalued WR in fantasy football drafts.
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~142 Overall
CURRENT ADP: ~157
ANALYSIS: The Jets' highly-touted second-round pick out of Ole Miss has impressed in camp and has seemingly vaulted Denzel Mims and potentially even Keelan Cole on the depth chart. He's working with the first-team offense now; Jets beat writers are all worked up, and head coach Robert Saleh recently wondered how the rest of the league let Moore slip to the second round. These are all good things.
Moore is a skilled route-runner who should quickly adapt to playing whichever receiving role is asked of him, and with the way things are trending, the Jets are going to get him on the field and feature his skillset. He posted a few great seasons while at Ole Miss, culminating in a junior season where he finished with 86 receptions, 1,193 receiving yards, and eight scores. He also put up some eye-popping numbers at his pro day and combine, ranking in the 92nd-percentile in the 40-yard dash (4.35 seconds) and 98th-percentile in Agility Score. (For what it's worth, his PlayerProfiler comparison is the speedy vet Tyler Lockett)
There's certainly a chance that Moore carves out a significant role early on with rookie quarterback Zach Wilson at the helm. There's also some risk with the inexperienced QB and some competition (Corey Davis and Jamison Crowder) for targets, but a player with his talent is more than worth taking a shot on in the late rounds of fantasy drafts this season.
