Who Should I Start? Rondale Moore or Tre Tucker

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.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker scored his first touchdown since Week 3 in last week's loss to the Dallas Cowboys, finishing with four catches for 47 yards on eight targets. Tucker has served as the No. 2 option in the Raiders' passing game following the team's trading Jakobi Meyers to the Jaguars at the deadline. The Raiders offense still flows through superstar tight end Brock Bowers, along with rookie Ashton Jeanty, but Tucker has made plays in his limited opportunities. The 24-year-old has a tough matchup against a stout Cleveland Browns defense in Week 12. Tucker projects as a risky start as a WR3/flex option in 12-team leagues.
