Who Should I Start? Chris Moore or Saquon Barkley

Friday, October 17, 11:16 PM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Chris Moore has benefited from the absences of Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Noah Brown (groin), running the most routes of any Washington WR besides Deebo Samuel Sr. over the past few weeks. And Samuel's status for Sunday is uncertain as he continues to manage a heel injury. Moore made his first splash since being in Washington in Week 6 against Chicago, catching three of five targets for 46 yards and a touchdown on an athletic spinning catch. While Moore has run a decent number of routes lately, he hasn't been a target earner, recording just nine over the past three weeks. However, he has operated as Washington's preferred outside receiver and draws a matchup against a Dallas defense that has been torched this season, allowing the most PPR points per game. Moore is worth considering as a flex option in deeper leagues.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley had his second-lowest total yard count (67) of the season last week against the Giants and will look to bounce back this Sunday against the Vikings. Barkley has also seen less touches recently, with his two lowest rush attempt tallies coming in the last two weeks. On the bright side, Minnesota has the ninth-worst run defense in the league, allowing an average of 132.2 yards per game. And with Philly losing each of their last two contests, they could very well turn back to their superstar RB to rely on for production. View Barkley as a bonafide RB1 once again in Week 7.
