Who Should I Start? Adam Thielen or Skyy Moore

Sunday, December 29, 9:54 PM

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Adam Thielen caught five of his six targets for 110 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's Week 17 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. His biggest play of the game was a 40-yard touchdown pass courtesy of gorgeous ball placement from quarterback Bryce Young. Even when the Panthers lose, Thielen seems to stay heavily involved, as evidenced by his stat line from Sunday's divisional battle. The veteran pass-catcher ranks as the overall WR10 in fantasy football since Week 13, putting him ahead of talented receivers like A.J. Brown, Ladd McConkey, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Thielen remains a high-end WR2 option heading into next week's season finale against the Atlanta Falcons.

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said on Monday that there are no plans for wide receivers Rashee Rice (knee) and Skyy Moore (abdomen) to return during the postseason. Rice injured his knee in Week 4 and needed season-ending surgery on his ACL, MCL and meniscus, so it's no surprise that he won't be ready for another playoff run in January. The 24-year-old should have a good shot at being healthy for the start of the 2025 season, but he could be facing a suspension due to off-the-field legal issues. Moore, meanwhile, has been on Injured Reserve since late October due to a core-muscle injury. When healthy, the 24-year-old has found himself buried on the WR depth chart. He couldn't corral any of his three targets in six games this year before getting hurt, and Moore had only 43 catches for 494 yards and one TD in 30 games (11 starts) in 2022 and 2023 combined.
