Yahoo Sports fantasy analyst Matt Harmon explains why he likes the Browns wide receiver this week.

I I could not be more excited to unironically talk about Elijah Moore at 14% roster.
Now, I I get it.
Everybody’s favorite.
Waiver wire, darling out of the Cleveland wide receiver room, Cedric Tillman did provide the encore to his breakout game in week seven when he got over on the Ravens in week eight, Tillman was targeted nine times, led the team in air yards as the ex receiver, his roster percentages jumped up.
But that love hasn’t necessarily gone down to Elijah Moore who was the guy that led the team in targets with 11 last week.
I I said I was excited to talk about Elijah Moore because I was a big fan of him as a prospect.
I thought his rookie season was fantastic.
I still think he’s a good player on film.
I think he’s just gotten lost in bad environments throughout the course of his career.
And admittedly he wore out his own welcome in New York.
So he does need to wear some of that disappointment.
But in Cleveland, I’ve seen it with my eyeballs.
The guy gets open, the guy creates separation from the outside from the inside.
He is somebody who’s only 14% that I do think can be kind of a deeper flex play for you this week or simply somebody you just wanna have on your bench while I agree that Tilman is the most valuable fantasy receiver here because he’s the ex receiver, he’s the one of these things doesn’t look like the other in the wide receiver room.
Whereas Elijah Moore and Jerry Judy might cannibalize each other a little bit if Jameis Winston is gonna be in here throwing the football all over the yard more than just Tilman and David and Joker are gonna eat in this wide receiver room.
So I think Elijah Moore is somebody that should at the very least be on your bench as a depth receiver.
