Who Should I Start? Rondale Moore or Drake London

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.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (knee) is considered "week-to-week" after spraining the PCL in his knee in Sunday's overtime loss to the Carolina Panthers in Week 11, according to Josh Kendall of The Athletic. "He could come back and feel much better. We just don't know," head coach Raheem Morris said on Monday. The 24-year-old pass-catcher caught seven of his nine targets for 119 yards before getting hurt on Sunday, marking the fifth time this year he's gone over 100 receiving yards and the fifth time in the last six games. At the very least, fantasy managers should expect London to miss the Week 12 divisional contest versus the New Orleans Saints, but his absence could also extend into Week 13 against the New York Jets. For however long London is out, Darnell Mooney and tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. will see elevated target shares from veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins. Receivers Davis Sills V, KhaDarel Hodge, and Carlos Washington will be battling for WR2/3 duties.
