Who Should I Start? Elijah Moore or Isaac TeSlaa

Saturday, August 23, 11:58 PM

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Elijah Moore earned four targets from quarterback Shane Buechele in a 23-19 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Saturday, but he was unable to do much with them. While Moore did haul in three passes, he totaled just eight yards and will wrap up his preseason with four catches (eight targets) for 13 yards. The former New York Jet and Cleveland Brown joined the Bills on a one-year deal in free agency and is expected to earn a roster spot, but he isn't necessarily a stone-cold lock. Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, and Joshua Palmer are the only Buffalo receivers who are guaranteed to make the team, leaving Moore grouped with several others (Curtis Samuel, Tyrell Shavers, Kristian Wilkerson, Laviska Shenault Jr., and KJ Hamler among them) fighting for two or three jobs. Except for Samuel (illness), who's also reportedly on the bubble and didn't play Saturday because of an illness, Moore has a more proven track record than the rest of the WRs competing for roles. That could help give him the edge in the competition.

Detroit Lions rookie wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa hauled in his second touchdown catch of the season in Week 5 against the Cincinnati Bengals and now has three catches for 54 yards and two scores through his first five NFL games. TeSlaa gets a difficult matchup in Week 6 against the Kansas City Chiefs, who have allowed the ninth-fewest passing yards (999) and the fourth-fewest number of passing touchdowns (five) in the NFL so far this season. On the bright side, TeSlaa could be in line for his largest snap share of the season with Lions WR3 Kalif Raymond (neck) officially listed as questionable to play in Week 6 due to a neck injury. TeSlaa still cannot be counted on for fantasy production in Week 6, but he's a player to monitor as a stash candidate in deep leagues for his season-long upside.
