Who Should I Start? Rondale Moore or Ryan Flournoy

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.

The Dallas Cowboys have elevated wide receiver Ryan Flournoy from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Sunday's Week 2 contest against the New York Giants. The 2024 sixth-round pick was active for the season opener, too, but he didn't register a target. As a rookie last year, the Southeast Missouri State product caught 10 of 14 targets for 102 yards. He's still searching for his first career NFL touchdown. It's unlikely to happen this week as Flournoy remains buried in a depth role behind players like CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, Jalen Tolbert, and KaVontae Turpin.
