Who Should I Start? Jakobi Meyers or Rondale Moore

Thursday, October 30, 7:23 PM

The Las Vegas Raiders have yet to find a trade partner for wide receiver Jakobi Meyers, but NFL Network's Mike Garafolo said that he "wouldn't give up hope on this one just yet." The deadline for the Raiders to trade Meyers is next Tuesday, so they still have a bit of time to work something out with a contending NFL team looking to bolster their receiving corps. The Buffalo Bills, Denver Broncos, and Pittsburgh Steelers have been the teams most connected to the WR market in recent weeks. Meyers, who is having a disappointing 2025 campaign while working with quarterback Geno Smith, requested a trade early in the season and said recently that he's still open to being dealt. Vegas' recent acquisition of veteran Tyler Lockett gives them extra depth if they end up trading Meyers out of town, although Lockett still probably wouldn't have much fantasy appeal in that scenario.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Rondale Moore (knee) has suffered another season-ending knee injury, according to Alec Lewis of The Athletic. This one really hurts for Moore, who also missed the the entire 2024 campaign with the Atlanta Falcons due to a knee injury. The 25-year-old was selected in the second round (49th overall) in 2021 by the Arizona Cardinals out of Purdie. Moore spent the first three seasons of his career in the desert, catching 135 of 182 targets for 1,201 yards and only three touchdowns (one per year) in 39 games (23 starts) over those three seasons. It might be an uphill battle the rest of his career for him to get back to a prominent role on offense in the NFL. Moore wasn't really on the fantasy radar to begin with in 12-team leagues, but his injury is significant for a WR room that will also be without Jordan Addison (suspension) for the first four games.
