Who Should I Start? Chris Moore or Ja'Corey Brooks

Washington Commanders wide receiver Chris Moore will likely see his targets go down on Monday night against the Chiefs with the return of both Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel Sr. Moore has essentially replaced Noah Brown (groin) as one of the team's primary outside wide receivers, so his snap and route participation share will likely remain high in Week 8. The 32-year-old wideout hasn't been super productive in his extended run of playing time, catching seven of 16 targets for 130 yards and a touchdown in five games. Moore could have some value in deeper leagues solely because he is still likely to run a decent amount of routes, but it's a tough matchup against a Chiefs defense that has allowed the second-fewest PPR points per game to opposing wide receivers.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Ja'Corey Brooks led the team in receiving in their first preseason game against the Patriots, catching all five targets for 59 yards. The 2025 undrafted free agent stepped in to play the majority of the second half and made the most of his opportunity. Brooks, a former five-star recruit out of high school, played at Alabama before transferring to Louisville for a season. He has good size at 6'2", 190 pounds, and posted over 1,000 yards and nine touchdowns in his final collegiate season. However, his poor athletic testing dragged him down in the draft process. With the Terry McLaurin contract situation and the state of the Commanders' receiver room, there is an opportunity for Brooks to make the roster as the sixth receiver. He'll need to continue to stack positive days at practice as well as produce when the lights come on for him to have a chance.
