Who Should I Start? Chris Moore or Justin Shorter

Saturday, November 15, 10:44 AM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Chris Moore has played more than expected this season, but hasn't drawn a target in each of the last three games. After earning at least one target in his first six games played this season, Moore's role in the offense has been decreasing despite the onslaught of injuries to Washington's wide receivers. The veteran ran just 19.2% of the team's routes in their Week 10 loss to the Lions, his lowest since all the way back in Week 1. With Treylon Burks (finger) ruled out for Week 11 against the Miami Dolphins, Moore could see his routes tick back up, but he hasn't shown enough production to be in any lineups.

The Las Vegas Raiders have made a series of back-of-roster moves, elevating third-year wide receiver Justin Shorter to the active roster and signing veteran receiver Phillip Dorsett to fill his spot on the practice squad. The Raiders were able to open a roster spot after moving Amari Cooper to the Reserve/Retired list following his unheralded retirement announcement on Thursday. At 6'4" and 227 pounds, Shorter was drafted by the Buffalo Bills in 2023 but spent his rookie season on injured reserve. He spent 2024 between the Raiders' active roster and practice squad as he transitioned to playing tight end. He made ten regular-season appearances without registering a stat. While the Raiders search for any depth in the wide receiver room, Shorter's signing should have no significance to fantasy managers.
