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 got his 2025 season started on the right foot with new quarterback Geno Smith running the offense in the Week 1 win over the New England Patriots, and scored his first touchdown of the year. Tucker caught only two of three targets, but he averaged a robust 27 yards per reception to finish with 54 yards in the contest. The 24-year-old played 57 of a possible 63 offensive snaps as the clear WR2 behind Jakobi Meyers. Most weeks, Tucker will be a hard sell as a boom/bust flex play in fantasy, but he could have more sleeper appeal in Week 2 on Monday night against the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers if target-hog tight end Brock Bowers (knee) cannot play -- Bowers has missed two practices already this week. In two games against L.A. last year, Tucker had five catches for 46 scoreless yards.
