STM Take

A high-volume veteran receiver who has never spiked into stardom.

The case for

  • 608 career catches and 8,213 yards through eight seasons; the volume baseline is among the best of his draft class.
  • 510 career rushing yards and 41 receiving TDs; the dual-threat profile travels well to BUF's spread sets.

The worry

  • Eight NFL seasons without a single Pro Bowl selection; the career has lacked the spike weeks that elite WRs collect.
  • Caleb Williams's tier-5 finish in 2025 capped his Chicago air-yards volume; the rebuild around him in BUF is unproven.

What to watch: Whether Josh Allen's tier-1 QB rank in BUF unlocks a Pro Bowl finally for Moore at age 29.

Full take and bio

Moore at STTM #40 tier 5 in 2025 (identical to his 2024 finish) closes a three-year Chicago stint with a Buffalo move ahead. The career 608 catches and 8,213 yards through age 29 is one of the deepest volume profiles in the field; the absence of a Pro Bowl across eight years is the puzzle. Buffalo's pass-catcher rebuild around Josh Allen is the bullish 2026 case.

Moore was born in Philadelphia, attended Imhotep Institute Charter, and was 2017 Big Ten Receiver of the Year at Maryland. Carolina took him 24th overall in the 2018 NFL Draft. Career line is 608 catches for 8,213 yards and 41 TDs across eight seasons. He signed with Buffalo for 2026.
