Coach Ron Rivera prepares to face his former QB Cam Newton

Another quiet outing Moore caught four of seven targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Cardinals.
Impact Moore had another quiet outing, as he's now gone consecutive games with under five catches and 35 yards. Although Carolina switching to quarterbacks P.J. Walker and Cam Newton on Sunday surely impacted the offense, Moore still trailed tailbacks Christian McCaffrey and Ameer Abdullah, as well as fellow wideout Robby Anderson, in yardage. On the bright side, only McCaffrey garnered more looks. Whether it's Walker, Newton or both throwing passes next week versus Washington, Moore will strive to make a much bigger impact than he's managed of late.

Darnold's long-, short-term future with Panthers in doubt
The Panthers traded away three draft picks for Sam Darnold with the idea they could resurrect his career and he could develop into the franchise’s long-term answer at quarterbackNOVEMBER 8, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Held in check Moore caught three of seven targets for 32 yards and rushed twice for 14 yards in Sunday's 24-6 loss to the Patriots.
Impact Moore led Carolina in targets, but saw tailbacks Christian McCaffrey and Chuba Hubbard top him in receiving yardage on a day when quarterback Sam Darnold again struggled while throwing three interceptions. Darnold also led Moore into a big hit late, adding to Carolina's offensive frustrations. Although McCaffrey's return gives Moore notable competition for looks, those two are easily coordinator Joe Brady's best playmakers, which should keep Moore's value stable heading into Week 10 versus the Cardinals.

Makes four grabs Moore caught four of eight targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 19-13 win over the Falcons.
Impact Moore led Carolina in all major receiving categories, but it was still a below-average performance by his standards. On a coaching challenge that was upheld, he narrowly missed out on an 11-yard touchdown during the first quarter and has now gone four straight outings without a score. With quarterback Sam Darnold suffering a concussion Sunday, it remains to be seen who will be throwing to Moore in Week 9 versus the Patriots -- when superstar tailback Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) could re-enter the fold as well -- but the wideout remains a high-quality option at his position.

Held back by offense Moore recorded six receptions on 10 targets for 73 yards in Sunday's 25-3 loss to the Giants.
Impact Moore accounted for 73 of the Panthers' 144 yards through the air Sunday, but he couldn't post a better line due to the poor play of Sam Darnold. He recorded receptions of 21, 19 and 12 yards to pick up most of his yardage and has now logged a catch of at least 20 yards in six of seven contests. Moore has also had consistent volume and racked up double-digit targets in five games this season while falling below 70 yards in a matchup only once.

Leads team in receiving Moore had five receptions (13 targets) for 73 yards Sunday but also lost a fumble in a 34-28 overtime loss to Minnesota.
Impact Moore ended up leading the Panthers in overall receiving production despite Sam Darnold failing to connect with his receiver on eight occasions. The 24-year-old has hit a bit of a rough patch over the last two weeks after hitting the ground running over his first four games this season. On the bright side, Darnold and Moore will have a prime opportunity to get right against a Giants defense that ranks in the bottom third in nearly every defensive category this year.

Lowest output of season Moore caught five of seven targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 21-18 loss to the Eagles.
Impact Moore's two unsuccessful looks both resulted in interceptions by opposing cornerback Darius Slay. Although neither was Moore's fault, the wideout still had his worst statistical performance of the campaign thus far, mainly due to quarterback Sam Darnold's struggles. On the bright side, Moore still led the Panthers in receptions once again, and he entered Sunday having topped 75 yards in each of his four games prior. The ascending talent will hope to return to that good form in Week 6's matchup versus the Vikings.
