Should I Start DJ Moore?

Saturday, October 17, 10:50 AM

Buffalo Bills wide receiver DJ Moore (shoulder) faces an appealing matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 6, but his availability remains uncertain after missing Monday's overtime win over the Rams. Moore is questionable after sitting out practice Wednesday and Thursday before returning in a limited capacity Friday. The 29-year-old initially injured his shoulder against Detroit in Week 2 and aggravated it against New England in Week 4. His season totals of 12 receptions for 178 yards and one touchdown are heavily influenced by a five-catch, 100-yard performance against Houston in the opener. Across his other three appearances, Moore has managed just seven receptions for 78 yards. Las Vegas presents an opportunity for a rebound after allowing Drake Maye to throw for 374 yards and four touchdowns last week. Still, Moore's health and uncertain workload make him a risky WR3/flex option even if he plays. Fantasy managers should have an alternative available with Buffalo not kicking off until 4:25 p.m. ET.
