DJ MOORE NEWS

Available for Week 16 Moore (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Jonathan M. Alexander of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Impact Moore was listed as questionable heading into the weekend after not practicing Wednesday and Thursday before returning to the field in a limited fashion Friday. Though he didn't log a full practice this week, the Panthers haven't indicated that Moore will be subject to a lighter workload as a result. He'll likely be sharing the field with both Cam Newton and Sam Darnold at various points during Sunday's game, as head coach Matt Rhule indicated that both quarterbacks will pick up snaps.

Gets questionable tag for Week 16 Moore is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers after practicing on a limited basis Friday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact Moore missed the Panthers' first two practices of the week while tending to the hamstring injury, but he returned to the field Friday, which gives him a shot to suit up this weekend. On Wednesday, head coach Matt Rhule told Joe Person of The Athletic that Moore will likely wind up being a game-time decision, so the Panthers may put him through a workout Sunday morning before getting a better sense of whether he'll play. Through Cam Newton's first four games as Carolina's starting quarterback, Moore's production hasn't suffered too much; he's turned in a 21-285-1 receiving line on 38 targets over that stretch.

No practice Thursday Moore (hamstring) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact Moore was able to play through a hamstring issue this past Sunday in Buffalo, handling a 90 percent share of offensive snaps and catching six of 11 targets for 48 yards. The Panthers now are having the wide receiver focus on rehab versus practice with the expectation he'll be a game-time decision Sunday against the Buccaneers. Fortunately, the team has a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, so Moore's fate will be known with plenty of time for fantasy managers to pivot to another option.

Newton set to start, Darnold will also play at QB vs. Bucs

DECEMBER 22, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Trending toward game-time decision Coach Matt Rhule said Moore (hamstring) likely will be a game-time call Sunday against the Buccaneers, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Impact Moore's practice reps were capped all of last week before he handled 90 percent of the offensive snaps this past Sunday at Buffalo en route to six catches (on 11 targets) for 48 yards. He was held out of practice entirely Wednesday, after which Rhule touched on Moore's status. Getting back on the field Thursday and/or Friday may put Moore in a better position to be available this weekend, so his activity level will be something to monitor as the week goes on.

Still tending to hamstring issue Moore didn't practice Wednesday due to a hamstring injury, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Impact Moore was listed as limited on all three Week 15 injury reports due to the same health concern before handling a 90 percent share of the offensive snaps this past Sunday at Buffalo. The results in the box score were modest -- six catches (on 11 targets) for 48 yards -- and he's only scored one touchdown since Week 4. Now, with no practice to begin Week 16 prep, Moore's status will be one to watch to ensure he's available Sunday against the the Buccaneers.

Panthers' Rhule 'can't speculate' on next week's starting QB

Cam Newton’s struggles have left Matt Rhule looking for answers at quarterback

DECEMBER 20, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Difficult conditions continue Moore caught six passes for 48 yards on 11 targets against Buffalo on Sunday.

Impact Moore has proven his own abilities beyond any doubt at this point, so his ongoing struggles are clearly attributable to the broader dysfunction of the Panthers organization, especially on offense. Cam Newton has struggled profoundly as a passer, including in this game (18 of 38 for 156 yards, one touchdown and one interception), yet he's probably the team's best pure passer for the time being. While talent like Moore's can't be fully counted out, the waters might remain treacherous until the Panthers rebuild this offense in the offseason. Carolina gets a tough matchup with the Buccaneers in Week 16.

Good to go Sunday Moore (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Bills, Jonathan M. Alexander of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Impact Moore was a limited practice participant throughout the week before being labeled questionable for Sunday's contest, though he never truly appeared in danger of sitting out. The 24-year-old has come on strong over the past three games with 15 receptions for 237 yards and a touchdown as he continues to lead Carolina's receiving corps.

Looks set to play vs. Buffalo Moore (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Moore was limited in practices throughout the week, but the injury isn't expected to affect his availability or snap count Sunday. Confirmation on Moore's status will arrive when the Panthers release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Questionable for Sunday Moore (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Buffalo, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Moore was a limited practice participant Wednesday through Friday after suffering a minor hamstring injury late in the fourth quarter of last week's loss to the Falcons. He appears on track to play this Sunday, but fantasy managers will want to make sure before finalizing Week 15 lineups. The Panthers and Bills are scheduled for a 1:00 ET kickoff, meaning inactive lists will be released around 11:30 a.m.

DECEMBER 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Another limited practice Moore (hamstring) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact Moore picked up a hamstring issue near the end of this past Sunday's loss to the Falcons. Coach Arthur Smith considered Moore day-to-day as of Monday, and the wide receiver has followed up that comment with back-to-back capped sessions. Even if he enters the weekend with a designation, Moore doesn't seem to be in much danger of missing the Panthers' Week 15 game at Buffalo.

Limited with hammy Moore (hamstring) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Moore was held out toward the end of Sunday's 29-21 loss to the Falcons, with coach Matt Rhule calling the wideout day-to-day on Monday. A limited practice to start Week 15 gives Moore a decent shot to suit up this Sunday in Buffalo, though he'll have a tough matchup and still has to contend with some of the worst QB play in the league.

Huge draft day decision on horizon for Panthers: QB or OT?

The slumping Carolina Panthers appear destined to have a top 10 pick in next year’s NFL draft

DECEMBER 13, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Begins week day-to-day Panthers head coach Matt Rhule said Monday that Moore (hamstring) is day-to-day after pulling his hamstring in Sunday's loss to the Falcons, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Impact Moore played 89 percent of the Panthers' offensive snaps in the contest, catching six of 10 targets for 84 yards. Before departing late Sunday, Moore attempted to talk his way into returning to the contest, so he would seem to have a fair shot at being cleared to play Week 15 in Buffalo so long as he can practice in some capacity leading up to the contest. That said, Moore could face some difficulty establishing a rhythm with his quarterback even if healthy, as Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site relays that Cam Newton and P.J. Walker are expected to split reps under center.

Strong numbers despite knee issue Moore brought in six of 10 targets for 84 yards in the Panthers' 29-21 loss to the Falcons on Sunday. He also missed some time late in the contest with a knee injury but wanted to...

Impact It remains to be seen how serious the knee issue might be, but the health issue aside, the star wideout had a productive game on an afternoon during which the Panthers passing attack wasn't exactly at its sharpest. Moore's reception total was his best since Week 7, while his yardage tally qualified as his second highest since all the way back in Week 4. With a 10-187 line over the past two contests, Moore will head into a difficult Week 15 road matchup against the Bills with some momentum if he's able to suit up.

Big receiving day in loss Moore brought in four of 10 targets for 103 yards in the Panthers' 33-10 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

Impact The highlight of Moore's day -- and that of the Panthers as a whole -- came on the wideout's 64-yard grab in the first quarter. Moore would go on to lead the team in receptions and receiving yardage on the night, but considering Carolina netted all of 134 passing yards due to poor performances from both Cam Newton and P.J. Walker, the talented receiver's numbers were a minor miracle from a fantasy perspective. Moore's chances of replicating strong numbers in a Week 13 divisional home matchup versus the Falcons will naturally be heavily reliant on the play under center.

Newton stays positive after loss on 'resurrection day'

Touchdown in Sunday's loss Moore caught five of seven targets for 50 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-21 loss to Washington.

Impact Moore started the scoring with a 10-yard touchdown during the first quarter, marking his first end-zone visit since Week 4. After back-to-back games with under 35 receiving yards, Moore fared slightly better Sunday, but he still narrowly trailed tailback Christian McCaffrey in all major receiving categories. Although his production has declined since a hot start to the season, Moore's touchdown Sunday and his established rapport with new-yet-familiar starting quarterback Cam Newton offer a couple reasons for optimism ahead of his matchup Week 12 versus the Dolphins.
