Who Should I Start? Chris Moore or Kristian Wilkerson

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.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Kristian Wilkerson made a solid impression in the Raiders' preseason finale, snagging three catches for 35 yards and a touchdown in Friday's 24-24 tie to the San Francisco 49ers. While this performance boosts his chances of making the final roster, fantasy managers should temper their expectations. Even if Wilkerson secures a spot, he's likely to be no higher than fifth or sixth on the depth chart. In the Raiders' offense, this translates to minimal regular-season opportunities, barring multiple injuries ahead of him. His preseason touchdown showcases some red-zone potential, but Wilkerson's fantasy relevance will be severely limited with established targets like Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers ahead of him. At best, he's a name to remember for deep dynasty leagues or as a potential in-season waiver wire option if injuries decimate the Raiders' receiving corps. For now, Wilkerson remains off the radar in all but the deepest of fantasy formats.
