D.J. Moore: ruled out Thursday night with shoulder injury

THE FACT. Buffalo wide receiver D.J. Moore was ruled out of Thursday night's home game against Detroit with a shoulder injury, announced by the Bills on their official account and reported by NFL.com's Grant Gordon and CBS Sports' Bryan DeArdo. Moore came down hard on the shoulder reaching for a Josh Allen throw in the back of the end zone, then walked off under his own power for X-rays; CBS Sports described the issue as a shoulder injury and a stinger.
THE VERDICT. Moore is Buffalo's WR1 and came off five catches for 100 yards in the Week 1 win over Houston, so this is the night's biggest fantasy hit. Redraft: nothing to do until Buffalo puts a number on it, but Keon Coleman and Joshua Palmer move up as flex plays and Khalil Shakir's slot volume holds firm on the short week of rest that follows a Thursday game. Waiver Wire: Coleman is the priority claim if Moore misses time, roughly 12 percent FAAB, with Palmer a cheaper stash. Dynasty: no panic, a shoulder and stinger combination is usually short-term. DFS: fade all Buffalo receivers in any remaining Thursday slate and wait for the X-ray result before Week 3 pricing moves.
