Who Should I Start? Cedrick Wilson Jr. or Rondale Moore

Wednesday, March 19, 10:40 PM

The New Orleans Saints reworked wide receiver Cedrick Wilson Jr.'s contract on Wednesday, cutting his 2025 base salary from $3.4 million to the minimum of $1.7 million, according to ESPN's Katherine Terrell. Wilson's new salary cap number is $1.67 million after he previously counted $3.4 million against this year's cap, but it still voids in 2026. If the 29-year-old wasn't willing to restructure his deal, Terrell got the sense the Saints were willing to move on after Wilson had only 20 catches on 27 targets for 211 yards and one touchdown in 15 games (four starts) in 2024 in his first year in New Orleans. The poor production even came with Chris Olave (head) and Rashid Shaheed (knee) missing time with injuries last year. The Saints will have a new offensive approach under head coach Kellen Moore, but Wilson is still unlikely to be fantasy relevant as receiver depth in the Big Easy in 2025.

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.
