The Cleveland Browns will face the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 14. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding WR Elijah Moore.
Is Elijah Moore Playing in Week 14?
Moore was limited in Wednesday’s practice with a shoulder injury but upgraded to full on Thursday and Friday. He will play in Week 14.
This is a new injury for Moore, who still played 76.2% of the snaps in Monday’s loss to the Broncos (right in line with his 74.5% season average). With Cedric Tillman (concussion) sidelined again for Week 14, Moore could see plenty of target from Jameis Winston.
We’ll continue to monitor the Browns’ injury report. You can also visit and bookmark our NFL Injury Tracker and Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Elijah Moore in Week 14?
The Moore contingency is coming on strong as we approach the final stretch of the final season with DJ easily clearing 20 points in consecutive weeks and Elijah Moore fresh off of earning a season-high 14 targets. Cleveland’s underneath receiver has caught at least six balls in four of his past six games.
Pittsburgh ranks 24th in yards per catch after the reception this season to the receiver position (4.8), a flaw that I like Moore to pick at more than any of the other WRs on this roster. The range of outcomes is far more narrow than a player like Jerry Jeudy, but I was ultra-impressed with what he put on tape last week, and we know that Jameis Winston is going to give him a chance to make plays.
I’m not sweating the 3-21-0 stat line in the snow against these Steelers two weeks ago. If the Steelers elect to defend against the home-run play and make Winston beat them with 1,000 paper cuts, Moore stands to benefit in a big way.
I think you can Flex him this week in PPR leagues and have him ranked not too far from Chicago’s streaking Moore in my Week 14 WR rankings.
