Summary

Elijah Moore never quite lived up to expectations with the Jets, but he’s going to get a second chance with the Browns. The question is, does he still have the upside we thought he did? How much of his struggles were tied to the Jets and their dysfunction at quarterback? Dave Richard and Chris Towers break it down, with their expectations for Moore, as well as the Jets replacement options once they trade for Aaron Rodgers.

And lies more to the Browns. We'll break it down next on Fantasy Football Today in five.

0:38.0

Welcome to FFTN5. I'm Chris Towers here with Dave Rishard and Dave, we had a big trade.

0:46.0

We still don't know who's going to be playing quarterback for the New York Jets in 2023.

0:51.0

Yeah, we do. We're playing with the Taren Rogers.

0:53.0

Yeah. It hasn't officially happened, but we did learn on Wednesday that Elijah Moore will definitely not be catching passes from Aaron Rogers, because he got traded to the Browns for a second round pick.

1:04.0

The Browns also sent a third round pick back to the Jets.

1:07.0

And I mean, it's an interesting trade, Elijah Moore, a very, very talented young wide receiver who just did not take the step forward in year two that we expected him to.

1:18.0

How much of that was his fault versus the poor quarterback play versus just he didn't seem to mesh with the coaching staff.

2:07.0

He did that in 2021 with the Jets in flashes, but he's also shown the downside to be like a number four type of role player that doesn't belong on on fantasy teams.

2:18.0

I don't like that his catch rate has never been higher than 56.9% over the course of his two seasons with the Jets.

2:26.0

I don't like that he's only collected six end zone targets 14 red zone targets with the Jets is pretty good.

2:33.0

Does he get those types of opportunities with the Browns?

2:36.0

You've got to worry about that a little bit just because of Nick Chubb being there.
