The Minnesota Vikings announced on Wednesday that they agreed to terms on an undisclosed deal with free-agent wide receiver Rondale Moore (knee). Moore will stay in the NFC after signing with the Atlanta Falcons last offseason. Unfortunately, he didn't end up playing at all after suffering a season-ending knee injury during a joint training camp practice in the summer. The 24-year-old former second-round selection (49th overall) by the Arizona Cardinals in 2021 out of Purdue caught just 135 passes for 1,201 yards and three touchdowns on 182 targets in 39 games (23 starts) in his first three years in the NFL with Arizona and will now head to Minnesota to provide receiving depth. Fantasy-wise, this is probably one of the worst possible landing spots for the speed 5-foot-7 wideout, as he'll be the WR4, at best, behind Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison and Jalen Nailor.

Free-agent wide receiver Rondale Moore (knee) is visiting with the Tennessee Titans on Wednesday as he continues to make the rounds, a source told NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. Moore, a former second-round pick of the Arizona Cardinals, has already met with the Chicago Bears, Minnesota Vikings and New York Jets as he resets following a season-ending knee injury that he suffered last summer with the Atlanta Falcons. The 24-year-old is taking his time and making sure his next team is the right fit. There is plenty of opportunity in Tennessee behind No. 1 wideout Calvin Ridley, even after the free-agent signing of Van Jefferson. The question is who will be throwing the passes for the Titans in 2025? Tennessee would surely be an intriguing destination for Moore in terms of opportunity, but he never had over 435 yards or one touchdown in any of his three years in Arizona, and there's also the question of how effective he'll be coming off a major knee injury.

Free-agent wide receiver Rondale Moore (knee) visited with the New York Jets on Tuesday, according to ESPN's Field Yates. Moore is making the rounds this offseason as a free agent after signing with the Atlanta Falcons last year before missing the entire 2024 campaign due to a non-contact knee injury that he suffered in a joint training camp practice last summer. In addition to the Jets, the 24-year-old wideout has taken visits with the Minnesota Vikings and Chicago Bears as he searches for his next team. The Arizona Cardinals took Moore in the second round (49th overall) in 2021 out of Purdue, and he contributed 135 catches on 182 targets for 1,201 yards and only three touchdowns in his three seasons (39 games played). There's opportunity in New York behind No. 1 Garrett Wilson, but with questions surround QB Justin Fields as a passer still, Moore would likely go undrafted in most 12-team fantasy leagues if he lands with the Jets.

Free-agent wide receiver Rondale Moore (knee) is visiting with the Minnesota Vikings on Friday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Moore, a former second-round selection (49th overall) by the Arizona Cardinals in 2021 out of Purdue, spent all of the 2024 season on Injured Reserve due to a non-contact knee injury that he suffered back in a training camp practice with the Atlanta Falcons. The 24-year-old pass-catcher has played in three seasons in the NFL (all with Arizona) and has tallied 135 catches on 182 targets for 1,201 yards and three touchdowns (one each year) in 39 games (23 starts). The Vikings already have one of the top pass-catching duos in the league with Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison, but they could add Moore for some depth alongside slot man Jalen Nailor. Moore could have lost a step due to his knee injury and would be fighting an uphill battle for fantasy relevance if he signs in Minnesota.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Rondale Moore (knee), who was carted off from training camp practice on Wednesday, suffered a season-ending knee injury. Moore suffered a non-contact injury on Wednesday, and although the specifics of the injury haven't been revealed, it's likely to be an ACL tear. It's a brutal blow for Moore and the Falcons' receiver depth behind Drake London, Darnell Mooney and Ray-Ray McCloud III. The 24-year-old former second-rounder was acquired by Atlanta in a trade this offseason from the Arizona Cardinals and was competing with McCloud mainly for slot duties in Atlanta. Moore's injury should solidify McCloud as the team's starting slot man in three-receiver sets to open the regular season this fall.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Rondale Moore (leg) was carted off during training camp practice on Wednesday, and doctors put an air cast on his right leg, which is never a good sign. It's unclear how the injury happened, but it appears that Moore might be set to miss significant time with a serious injury. Making matters even worse, the 24-year-old's injury was of the non-contact variety, which makes it even more likely that he might have suffered a potential season-ending injury. The former second-round pick in 2021 was trying to carve out a role as receiver depth in Atlanta in his first year with the team behind Drake London, Darnell Mooney and Ray-Ray McCloud III. If Moore indeed suffered a significant injury, it will only cement McCloud's status as the team's starting slot receiver to open the year.

The Atlanta Falcons are acquiring wide receiver Rondale Moore from the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday in exchange for quarterback Desmond Ridder, according to a source. Moore will give new quarterback Kirk Cousins yet another weapon in the passing game out of the slot. Drake London and tight end Kyle Pitts will be the top two aerial targets for Cousins in his first year in Atlanta, but Moore, 23, will provide plenty of speed out of the slot. The former second-round pick of the Cardinals in 2021 out of Purdue has scored just one touchdown in each of his three NFL seasons and had his best statistical season in his rookie year with a line of 54-435-1. From a fantasy perspective, it will be difficult for Moore to stand out in Atlanta after the Falcons also signed Darnell Mooney in free agency.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Rondale Moore's recent performance in the Cardinals' Week 17 victory over the Eagles, where he caught three passes for 26 yards and had two carries for eight yards, adds to a season marked by inconsistency. Despite consistent playing time, with a 60 percent share in 14 of 16 games, Moore has struggled to deliver significant yardage in most outings, with only five games surpassing 40 yards. Since quarterback Kyler Murray's return in Week 10, Moore's contributions have been limited, accumulating just 16 catches on 24 targets, six carries, 216 total yards, and one receiving touchdown in seven contests. Even though Moore and the Cardinal offense take on the Seahawk's defense in Week 18, which has conceded the eighth-most receptions to wide receivers, there's no guarantee of a breakthrough. To that end, fantasy managers should consider sitting Moore and opting for more reliable options to close out the year.

Arizona Cardinal's third-year receiver Rondale Moore faces off against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 17, who currently rank 12th against the pass. In the Cardinals' recent loss to the Bears, Moore showed his big-play potential with a 22-yard gain on 2-of-3 targets, though totaling only 30 yards. With teammate Marquise Brown now on the IR due to a knee issue, Moore becomes an intriguing fantasy stash. While he remains a big-play-dependent WR4, the increased opportunities stemming from Brown's absence could elevate Moore's role in the passing game. However, with Week 17 being championship week in most leagues, there are most likely better-starting options available for those playing in the title game. As such, Moore remains nothing more than a Week 17 bench stash.
Dec 30, 2023 2:47 AM EST
In the Arizona Cardinals' Week 15 loss to the 49ers, wide receiver Rondale Moore caught 2-of-3 targets for a mere five yards and had one rushing attempt for three yards. Despite Arizona's receiving corps getting reinforcements post-bye week, Moore's role remained consistent. He was one of six Arizona players to see three targets, but his overall involvement was limited. Moore continues to be a big play-dependent WR4 from a fantasy perspective. The upcoming matchup against the Bears suggests that Moore may struggle to generate significant fantasy value on so few touches. Considering his limited recent production and potential challenges against Chicago, at this point fantasy managers can't consider Rondale anything better than a bench stash.
Dec 23, 2023 3:36 AM EST
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Rondale Moore continued to disappoint in the team's 45-29 blowout loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. Moore finished the Week 15 contest with two catches on three targets for only five yards while carrying the ball once for a pickup of three yards. The 23-year-old was unable to capitalize when rookie Michael Wilson (shoulder) missed three games from Weeks 11-13 and remained silent with Wilson returning on Sunday. Moore has just one touchdown on the year and now has just 11 receiving yards on three receptions in the last two games. Marquise Brown aggravated his heel injury in Week 15 and could be forced to miss time, but even then, Moore just hasn't done enough for fantasy managers to get excited about picking him up off the waiver wire.
Dec 18, 2023 1:13 PM EST
Arizona Cardinals wide-out Rondale Moore faces off against the top defense in the league in the San Francisco 49ers in Week 15 and may find it tough sledding. In Week 13, Moore was held to just one catch for 6 yards, and even though teammates Marquise Brown (heel) and Michael Wilson (neck) are listed as questionable for this game, there is the possibility at least one of them may play. Additionally, so far this season, Moore has racked up 9.0 yards per reception, which ranks 102nd in the NFL. He's also compiled 260 receiving yards and one TD through the air. Each ranks 131st in the league. Those are ugly numbers. Combine that with the brutal matchup and Moore is best left on fantasy benches.
Dec 16, 2023 2:14 AM EST
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Rondale Moore's day in Week 13 against the Pittsburgh Steelers could have been much more fruitful, but he ended the 24-10 upset win with just a six-yard pickup on his only catch (two targets). Moore secured a long touchdown catch in the back of the end zone that was called back due to an offensive penalty and he did very little else on a day in which the Cardinals didn't need to throw the ball much after building an early lead and never being threatened by a Steelers offense that lost quarterback Kenny Pickett to an ankle injury early in the first half. He had a 48-yard touchdown catch (his first of the year) in Week 11 but has posted three catches for 41 yards in two games since. The 23-year-old hasn't gone over 50 yards receiving in a single game in 2023 and has a bad matchup in Week 15 against the San Francisco 49ers after a bye in Week 14.
Dec 4, 2023 12:19 PM EST
Arizona Cardinals wide-out Rondale Moore recorded two catches on just three targets for 35 yards in the team's 37-14 loss to the Rams in Week 12. Moore had no problem securing offensive snaps (53 of 71), but couldn't crack the 40 yards from scrimmage mark for the eighth time this year. He also has only three total catches over his last two games combined. To that end, Moore continues to be a non-factor for fantasy purposes. Despite his big-play potential, Moore is simply not doing enough, and the outlook for Week 13 appears even more bleak, as the Cardinals will take on a solid pass defense in the Steelers. As a result, Moore is best left on the fantasy bench.
Dec 2, 2023 4:20 AM EST
Arizona Cardinals wide-out Rondale Moore has finished with at least 43 receiving yards in each of his last two games while grabbing a long touchdown in Week 11 against the Houston Texans. In Week 12, Moore and the Cardinals passing attack will face off against the L.A. Rams. Even though Moore is beginning to show some fantasy signs of life with a re-emerging Kyler Murray under center, he'll have to step it up in Week 12, as the Rams boast a top-10 pass defense. Additionally, teammate Marquise Brown is listed as questionable for this game. If Brown doesn't play, Moore could see additional coverage and struggle to be fantasy-relevant. That uncertainty alone makes it tough to view Rondale as nothing more than a WR3/Flex play heading into Week 12.
Nov 25, 2023 3:25 AM EST
Arizona Cardinals wide-out Rondale Moore turned his only target into 48 yards with one touchdown in the team's 21-16 Week 11 loss to the Texans. His lone reception on the day led to a first-quarter score to help give the Cardinals an early lead which they would later relinquish. In the past two games with quarterback Kyler Murray at the helm, Moore has started to show signs of life. He's seen nine targets with Murray under center, matching his combined total from the previous three weeks. In Week 12, Moore will look to continue his decent play in an inter-divisional showdown against the Rams.
Nov 20, 2023 2:07 AM EST
Arizona Cardinals wide-out Rondale Moore recorded five catches (on eight targets) for 43 yards in the team's Week 10 win against the Atlanta Falcons. The return of Kyler Murray (knee) allowed Moore to obtain season highs in receptions, targets, and receiving yards. Murray also provided a boost to Moore's fantasy output, as before this game Moore struggled to get anything going and had been outshone by rookie Michael Wilson. In Week 11, Moore will go up against the Houston Texans, who have been mediocre against the pass. While the potential is there with Murray now back in the fold, until he shows additional consistency Moore should stay on the fantasy bench.
Nov 18, 2023 3:35 AM EST
Arizona Cardinals receiver Rondale Moore has had a rough go of it so far this season and has yet to provide consistent fantasy stats. That could change, however, in Week 10, as the long-awaited debut of quarterback Kyler Murray (knee) should be a boost to Moore's production. Add to it the fact that the Falcon's pass defense has been mediocre at best against opposing wide receivers and Moore has a chance to post decent numbers. Since the Cardinals have been somewhat creative with his skillset over the past few games, it will be interesting to see how they decide to utilize him with Murray back under center. However, without knowing Arizona's plans, Moore currently remains too risky of a fantasy option. He's best left on the fantasy bench.
Nov 11, 2023 2:39 AM EST
Arizona Cardinals wideout Rondale Moore isn't worth a start in Week 9 against the Cleveland Browns. Even though Moore continues to be somewhat utilized by the team in the running game with starter James Conner (knee) out, he has been surpassed by rookie wide-out Michael Wilson in the passing game and thus remains off the radar. In addition, this week Moore and the Cardinals face off against a Browns defense that boasts one of the top pass defenses in the NFL. While it is possible the Cardinals could begin to utilize him more frequently with rookie quarterback Clayton Tune at the helm, the matchup combined with Moore's declining usage makes him a bench stash in Week 9.
Nov 4, 2023 1:57 AM EST
Arizona Cardinals wideout Rondale Moore isn't worth a start in Week 8 against the Baltimore Ravens. Even though Moore continues to be somewhat utilized by the team in the backfield with starter James Conner (knee) out, he has been surpassed by rookie Michael Wilson in the passing game. In addition to his declining role, this week Moore and the Cardinals face off against a Baltimore squad that has been at or near tops in the league on the passing defense side of the ball. Those stats combined with Moore's weekly declining usage in the offense make him an easy bench stash. Unless his current situation improves, Moore remains completely off the fantasy radar in Week 8.
