00:02 - As long as Watson is healthy,

00:04 maybe there is some solid upside here.

00:07 - Yeah, I mean, that was one of my big reactions

00:10 to the first game that the Cleveland Browns

00:12 played without Nick Chubb was that it seemed

00:14 that a big part of their plan was to use Elijah Moore.

00:17 There was also, I think, a fairly real concern

00:20 before the start of the year that Donovan Peoples-Jones

00:22 was gonna play more than Elijah Moore,

00:24 that Moore would only be out there

00:25 in three wide receiver sets,

00:27 which has never been the base personnel

00:29 that Kevin Stefanski has chosen to use his offense out of.

00:33 Those concerns all seem moot to me.

00:36 We got back-to-back games of nine targets for Elijah Moore.

00:40 He also has at least one rushing attempt in every game.

00:44 I continue to believe that Elijah Moore is quite good,

00:46 and 11 starts as a rookie with Zach Wilson.

00:49 As his quarterback, he racked up 600 yards

00:51 and six touchdowns.

00:53 Seems like a pretty strong buy spot for me.

00:56 I think the sort of players that you could be offering

00:59 for him would be your low-end running back twos,

01:04 the guys that are on your roster.

01:06 You don't love to start them every single week.

01:08 I mean, look, you go in, Craig,

01:09 if you are at ranking running backs,

01:11 you put Christian McCaffrey number one,

01:13 you put Tony Pollard number two,

01:15 and then you just got a bunch of guys.

01:18 For example, right now, and obviously,

01:20 I don't even think anyone would wanna offer this,

01:22 but if you offered Raheem Mostert for Elijah Moore,

01:26 that person would race to press the accept button.

01:29 But I do think over,

01:30 but I think over the course of the season,

01:32 I would probably prefer the Elijah Moore side.

01:34 Brian Robinson Jr. for the Washington Commanders,

01:36 I think you'd get an accept on that trade,

01:38 and I would rather have Elijah Moore than him as well.
