Who Should I Start? Elijah Moore or Pat Bryant

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.

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Pat Bryant played the third-most snaps among the team's receivers in Week 5 against the Eagles, trailing only Courtland Sutton and Troy Franklin. The rotation at wide receiver for Denver has been inconsistent week to week, outside of Sutton and Franklin. But Bryant has earned more snaps on offense for doing the dirty work as a blocker. The rookie got a lot of recognition for his block in the Bengals game that sprung Marvin Mims for a touchdown. Bryant got up a season high 54% of the routes in Week 5, jumping significantly from his high of 32% in the previous week. For the season, he's only caught two of four targets for 18 yards. It's still a very crowded Denver passing attack, and Bryant would need a lot to happen to be fantasy relevant in redraft leagues.
