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.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Ryan Flournoy stepped up during Thursday night's loss to the Detroit Lions after CeeDee Lamb (concussion) exited early due to a concussion. Flournoy collected a team-high nine receptions for 115 yards and a touchdown on a team-leading 13 targets. It marks the 26-year-old's second game this season with over 100 receiving yards, with the other coming back in Week 6 against the Carolina Panthers when Lamb was sidelined with an ankle injury. Flournoy's ability to level up with a star teammate out of the lineup is worth paying attention to. His nine receptions and 13 targets in Week 14 are tied for the second-most in a game by a Dallas pass-catcher this season. With Lamb in the concussion protocol, his status for Week 15's game against the Minnesota Vikings is uncertain. If he can't get cleared, Flournoy would be a strong plug-and-play option in Dallas' high-volume passing attack.
