Who Should I Start? Chris Moore or Kevin Austin Jr.

Friday, September 26, 10:48 PM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Chris Moore is set to likely play a season high in snaps in Week 4 against Atlanta. With Terry McLaurin (quad) and Noah Brown (groin) out for the game, Washington's depth options at receiver will be forced to step up. Moore was signed to the active roster from the practice squad earlier in the week, then ran the most routes among Washington receivers in last week's blowout win against the Raiders. The veteran will likely run a heavy number of routes again and serve as a reliable target for Marcus Mariota. Moore caught both of his targets for 25 yards against the Raiders, and he was active for the season opener against the Giants, where he caught his lone target for a 34-yard gain. He's not an option to consider in Week 4 lineups.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Kevin Austin Jr. led the team in targets Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers, hauling in four of five chances for 42 yards. The third-year pro looks to be in play for a depth receiver role on a Saints team in the midst of a quarterback battle. New Orleans is giving a long look to quarterbacks Tyler Though and Spencer Rattler in the preseason, while the receiver room is paced by Chris Olave, Rashid Shaheed and veteran Brandin Cooks. Austin could be a factor given some of the injury histories elsewhere on the roster, but the Saints' offense looks to be a work in progress.
