2022 Fantasy Outlook
Drafted 34th overall in 2021, Moore was part of an offseason revamp that saw the Jets add QB Zach Wilson and fellow wideout Corey Davis. Of the three, only Moore met expectations, overcoming a sluggish start to become the team's top weapon during the middle part of the season. His 4.35 speed and lateral agility were on full display from late October to early December, a six-game stretch in which Moore caught 34 of 51 targets for 459 yards and five touchdowns. During that time, he had no fewer than six targets, three catches or 43 yards in any game, while Davis was in and out of the lineup with hip and groin injuries. Unfortunately, that was the end of the road, as Moore then joined Davis on the sidelines for the final five weeks of the season while dealing with a quad injury and COVID-19. Neither issue figures to impact his offseason preparation, and Moore now has a chance to establish himself ahead of Davis and first-round pick Garrett Wilson as the No. 1 option, after averaging seven targets per game as a rookie (and with solid efficiency numbers, given the terrible quarterback play). Of course, Moore's development is only half of the equation, as fantasy production will also depend on Zach Wilson becoming a serviceable NFL quarterback. Read Past Outlooks

Traded to Cleveland
WRCleveland Browns
March 22, 2023
The Jets traded Moore and a 2023 third-round pick to the Browns on Wednesday in exchange for a 2023 second-round pick, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
With the Jets having already signed Allen Lazard and Mecole Hardman (groin) in free agency this offseason to complement incumbent starting wideouts Garrett Wilson and Corey Davis, the team's decision to part ways with Moore doesn't come as an overly surprising one. Moore, a 2021 second-round pick, posted 43 receptions for 538 yards and five scores on 77 targets across 11 appearances as a rookie, but he had a disappointing sophomore campaign, securing just 37 of 65 targets for 446 yards and one score over 16 games. The soon-to-be 23-year-old will get a fresh start in Cleveland and will presumably compete with Donovan Peoples-Jones and David Bell for a sizable role behind No. 1 receiver Amari Cooper.

2021 Fantasy Outlook
The 34th overall pick in this year's draft, Moore (5-9, 178) profiles as a slot receiver, only one with blistering 4.35 speed. That could make current slot man Jamison Crowder expendable, leaving Moore to compete for targets with last year’s second-rounder Denzel Mims and offseason free-agent acquisition Corey Davis. Moore could make things easier on rookie QB Zach Wilson with his quickness, agility and speed in the short areas of the field, but Davis and Mims are likely to see more red-zone work.
