Who Should I Start? Rondale Moore or Elijah Moore

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.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Elijah Moore is a healthy scratch for the team's Week 11 contest on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It's a bit of a surprise that Moore is inactive with fellow wideout Keon Coleman benched for missing a team meeting on Friday. The Bills will also be without tight end Dalton Kincaid after he injured his hamstring in the Week 10 loss to the Miami Dolphins. With both Coleman and Moore on the sideline, Buffalo will roll with Khalil Shakir and Joshua Palmer as their primary wideouts. Curtis Samuel, Gabe Davis, Mecole Hardman, and Tyrell Shavers will be battling for looks in the WR3 role, and tight end Dawson Knox should also see a noticeable boost in targets with Kincaid being out. The 25-year-old Moore has only eight catches on the year for 115 yards and no touchdowns in eight games.
