Who Should I Start? Rondale Moore or Jimmy Horn Jr.

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.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jimmy Horn Jr. hasn't made much of an impact on the field in recent weeks. Last week, Horn hauled in one of his two targets for one yard, while rushing the ball once for seven yards in the win over the Green Bay Packers. The good news is, Horn saw 24 percent of the offensive snaps during that game. That is the most time Horn has played on offense since his season debut in Week 5. It's possible that Horn does take snaps away from Jalen Coker who has been quiet since making his season debut in Week 7. For now, Horn isn't a viable streaming option, but is someone to watch in dynasty formats.
