Rookie wide receiver Elijah Moore was dropped into a terrible situation in 2021 as he joined a bad Jets team with a new coaching staff and a seemingly in-over-his-head quarterback behind center. As should be expected, Moore started the season off slow, catching just nine passes through his first five professional games. From that point on, however, Moore really showed the type of explosive playmaking ability that should have fantasy managers intrigued heading into 2022.
Moore went on to catch 34 passes for 453 yards and five touchdowns over his final six games before he suffered an unfortunate quad injury that would end his rookie season. We certainly can't take that six-game sample size and simply extrapolate it out, but a would-be 900-yard, nearly double-digit-touchdown season has fantasy managers excited about the second-year receiver heading into their drafts.
Moore is currently being selected around the likes of DeVonta Smith, Hunter Renfrow and Amon-Ra St. Brown who are all also relatively young players who significantly outperformed Moore in the 2021 season. Like Moore, they all also saw their teams add at least one significant wide receiver to their roster, whether it was through the draft or free agency. The difference between Moore and these players, however, is that Moore provides explosive upside that the others have not yet shown throughout their careers. Certainly, the other players could be argued as more reliable and less risky, but if any of them is going to break into the top 10 of fantasy receivers here in 2022, the chances are pretty strong that it'd be Moore.
