Who Should I Start? Allen Lazard or Skyy Moore

Wednesday, May 7, 10:34 AM

As the Pittsburgh Steelers continue to navigate the offseason, trading for New York Jets wide receiver Allen Lazard is "in play," according to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk. As Florio notes, the move likely hinges on whether the Steelers sign quarterback Aaron Rodgers. This wouldn't be the first time a team has pursued a receiver to satisfy the veteran signal caller. The Green Bay Packers once re-acquired Randall Cobb as part of Rodgers' demands during a contract holdout, and the Jets signed Lazard after trading for Rodgers in 2023. The 29-year-old would likely slot in as Pittsburgh's No. 2 receiver behind DK Metcalf after they traded George Pickens to Dallas. He typically plays much better with Rodgers throwing him the football, as he commanded 100 targets from the future Hall of Famer in 2022. He also opened last season with 412 yards and five touchdowns over his first seven games, all of which featured Rodgers under center. Any sort of Lazard trade likely won't happen until Rodgers makes a decision on his future. While nothing is imminent, fantasy managers should keep tabs on Rodgers, as his eventual decision will surely have a ripple effect on many players across the league.

The Athletic's Nate Taylor writes that the Kansas City Chiefs could release wide receiver Skyy Moore this offseason and save $1.6 million on the 2025 salary cap, according to Over The Cap. Moore would leave behind just $467,819 in dead money. The 24-year-old former second-round pick (54th overall) in 2022 out of Western Michigan has really struggled in his three years in the NFL and hasn't earned much of a role on offense. The Chiefs can also create more salary cap space this season by converting a large chunk of quarterback Patrick Mahomes' $32.3 million roster bonus into a signing bonus. Moore dealt with an abdominal injury in 2024 that landed him on Injured Reserve for the majority of the regular season, and he wasn't able to return in the playoffs. He played in just six regular-season games and didn't record a single catch. Moore has 43 catches for 494 yards and one TD in 36 games to this point.
