DJ Moore's AC Joint Sprain Puts a Speed Bump in the Bills' High-Flying Offense

The Buffalo Bills are currently 2-0 and scoring points like they are playing on rookie difficulty, but the fantasy football managers who drafted DJ Moore are officially in the panic room. Ian Rapoport reports that the star receiver suffered an AC joint sprain during Thursday night's 41-31 win over the Detroit Lions.

The good news is that the injury is not considered serious. The bad news is that Adam Schefter says Moore's status for next week is completely up in the air. That means we get to spend the next seven days parsing through vague coach speak and analyzing practice footage shot from a grassy knoll.

"Ian Rapoport reported the injury is an AC joint sprain and not considered serious."

Moore went down hard in the end zone while trying to haul in a pass from Josh Allen. Up until gravity intervened, Moore was off to a blazing fast start in his new Buffalo threads. Now, a shoulder issue threatens to pump the brakes on what was looking like a dream pairing.

For context, an AC joint sprain is the NFL equivalent of sleeping on your neck wrong, except you have 250-pound linebackers trying to tackle your neck for a living. It is a pain tolerance issue that makes betting on Buffalo player props a total minefield until we get a real update.

The Bills have a mini-bye to get Moore right after playing on Thursday night, which gives his shoulder a few extra days to remember how to function. Until then, keep your waiver wire claims ready and your wager slips in your pocket.
