The Buffalo Bills traded a second-round pick to acquire DJ Moore from the Chicago Bears this offseason. Moore is expected to become the team's No. 1 wide receiver, filling a gap left from the previous season. However, Sports Illustrated's Conor Orr expressed skepticism, suggesting Moore may not lead the team in receiving yards and could have under 70 receptions in the 2026 season. This season, Buffalo's offense may increasingly rely on a run-first approach focused on quarterback Josh Allen, potentially limiting Moore's impact. With uncertainty about Moore’s role, the assessment of the trade could evolve negatively for the Bills if he does not perform as expected.
