Who Should I Start? Jermaine Burton or Skyy Moore

Saturday, November 30, 12:51 PM

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Jermaine Burton looked good during the preseason. However, he hasn't done much to benefit fantasy managers during the 2024-25 campaign. The rookie has just one catch in each of his previous three contests leading up to the Bengals' Week 12 bye. Yet, he's starting to earn the trust of Joe Burrow, considering he has 12 targets during that span. Granted, Burton has a long way to go before earning a place in fantasy lineups. But it appears he's moving in the right direction, although fantasy managers should still keep him on the bench for Sunday's meeting with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The Kansas City Chiefs are placing wide receiver Skyy Moore (core) on Injured Reserve on Thursday with a core-muscle injury. Moore is the latest Chiefs wide receiver to go on IR, which will keep him out for at least the next four games. The earliest he will be able to return from IR will be in Week 12 versus the Carolina Panthers on Nov. 24. Even with KC losing receivers Rashee Rice (knee) and Marquise Brown (shoulder) for the entire season due to injuries, Moore remained without a reception on just three targets in six games played this year before his injury. The 24-year-old former second-rounder in 2022 has been a bust for the Chiefs, catching only 43 passes for 494 yards and one touchdown in 36 games (11 starts) since entering the league. KC acquired DeAndre Hopkins from the Titans this week to boost their decimated receiving corps, and he'll slot in next to rookie Xavier Worthy and Mecole Hardman with JuJu Smith-Schuster (hamstring) injured.
