Who Should I Start? Cedrick Wilson Jr. or Skyy 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.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Skyy Moore stands little chance of making an impact in Week 2, despite the injury bug biting key players on offense. Even though tight end George Kittle (hamstring) is on injured reserve and wide receiver Jauan Jennings (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, veterans Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Kendrick Bourne stand in Moore's way on the depth chart. Moore played just three snaps in Week 1, and even if he does see a greater run on Sunday, the offense will be helmed by Mac Jones and not Brock Purdy (toe, shoulder), who has been ruled out. Moore's only path to fantasy relevance is in leagues that count return yards. Last week against Seattle, he fielded one kickoff and four punts, totaling 63 return yards.
