Who Should I Start? Chris Moore or Robbie Chosen

Sunday, October 5, 9:44 AM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Chris Moore could generate some appeal as a low-end flex in deeper leagues ahead of Week 5 against the Los Angeles Chargers. With neither Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) nor Noah Brown (groin) playing on Sunday, Moore should start at wide receiver alongside Deebo Samuel Sr. Purely based on expected snap share and volume, Moore could sneak onto the fantasy radar. Of course, he's not a lock to produce, as we saw last week when he played 70 percent of the snaps and saw three targets but didn't catch any of them. He'll also face plenty of competition for targets from Luke McCaffrey and Jaylin Lane. On a positive note, Washington gets a quarterback upgrade this week, as Jayden Daniels (knee) is healthy and will reclaim his starting job from Marcus Mariota. Fantasy managers dealing with extreme wide receiver problems due to injuries or bye weeks can consider starting Moore against the Chargers, but they should temper their expectations since Los Angeles has allowed the fourth-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers.

The Washington Commanders are signing veteran wide receiver Robbie Chosen to their practice squad on Tuesday, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Chosen will give Washington some more receiver depth going into Week 5 against the Los Angeles Chargers, with both Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Noah Brown (groin, knee) up in the air to play this weekend. The 32-year-old pass-catcher failed to stick around with the San Francisco 49ers despite all their injured bodies, and he might not stick around for long if McLaurin and Brown can return soon. Chosen, a nine-year NFL veteran, has bounced around the league in recent years and has played in only 11 games the last two years with the Miami Dolphins, catching five of 10 targets for 131 yards and one touchdown. Second-year wideout Luke McCaffrey has benefited the most the last two weeks with McLaurin injured.
