With the 24th pick in the NFL Draft, the Carolina Panthers have selected Maryland wide receiver D.J. Moore.
Fantasy Impact
After what was a meteoric rise during the pre-draft process, Moore is the first wide receiver taken off the board. Some have touted him as a No. 1 wide receiver on a team, though we have some concerns with him being "the guy." From a fantasy standpoint, he landed in an ideal spot, as Devin Funchess was never meant to see 120-plus targets. He's going to walk into the possession receiver role for the Panthers, which should net him 6-8 targets per game, or 95-120 targets on the season. That should be more than enough to get him into the WR4 conversation, though with Cam Newton as his quarterback, expect some inconsistencies in his numbers.
