Who Should I Start? Chris Moore or Alex Bachman

Saturday, October 11, 10:39 PM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Chris Moore has played as the primary outside receiver while top receivers Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Noah Brown (quad, knee) have missed multiple games. Moore has played at least 50% of the snaps in each of the past three weeks, but hasn't been a real target earner and has dropped multiple balls as well, including a touchdown last week against the Chargers. He's caught just two of six targets since Week 3. If Deebo Samuel Sr. (heel) is unable to go on Monday against the Bears, then Moore could see a bump in targets. Even then, Moore is not a recommended option for Week 6.

The Las Vegas Raiders re-signed wide receiver Alex Bachman to a Reserve/Futures deal on Thursday. Bachman spent most of the 2024 season on the Raiders' practice squad, but he was active for six games (one start) and caught all three of his targets for 31 yards and no touchdowns -- all in Week 6 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The 28-year-old pass-catcher originally went undrafted out of Wake Forest but latched on with the New York Giants. He appeared in four games for the G-Men in 2020 and 2021 but was not targeted at all in the passing game while receiving one carry for a loss of three yards in 2021. Bachman will continue his development with the Black and Silver this offseason and through training camp this summer as he looks to make the active 53-man roster for Week 1 of the 2025 regular season.
