Who Should I Start? Chris Moore or Brandon Johnson

Saturday, November 8, 2:47 PM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Chris Moore has been thrust into a high snap share this season with Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Noah Brown (groin) both missing extended periods of time. Moore has operated as Washington's primary outside receiver in their absences and has led the team in snaps in two of the past three weeks. The 32-year-old hasn't been very productive despite running a high number of routes, catching eight of his 17 targets for 164 yards and a touchdown in eight games this season (four starts). The veteran will likely see a lot of playing time again in a favorable Week 10 against a Lions defense that has allowed the sixth most PPR points per game to opposing wide receivers. Moore hasn't fared as well in Marcus Mariota's starts compared to Jayden Daniels (elbow), posting just two receptions for 25 yards across Mariota's three starts. Moore is a desperation play only in deeper leagues on Sunday.

The Denver Broncos waived wide receiver Brandon Johnson on Tuesday, according to a source. In addition to Johnson, the Broncos also parted ways with Tim Patrick, who quickly signed with the Detroit Lions, Lil'Jordan Humphrey and David Sills to trim their roster down to 53 by the deadline. Johnson improved in Year 2 with Denver last year by catching 19 of his 30 targets for 284 yards and four touchdowns in 13 games (two starts), but he wasn't able to make the final cut this summer after the offseason additions of Josh Reynolds and rookie fourth-rounder Troy Franklin. The 26-year-old rejoin the Broncos practice squad to give the team additional depth during the regular season, though. Johnson joined Denver as an undrafted free agent out of Central Florida in 2022.
