Who Should I Start? Tyler Lockett or Elijah Moore

Friday, November 14, 9:11 PM

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tyler Lockett (knee) was a full participant during Friday's practice session. It seems like Lockett will be good to go after he began the week with a limited session due to a knee issue. Lockett is coming off his best performance of the season where he hauled in five of his six targets for 44 yards in the loss to the Denver Broncos. That was only his second week on the team, so the assumption is his role will grow with the team. Barring any setbacks, Lockett should be viewed as a low-end flex option for the Monday night matchup against the Dallas Cowboys.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Elijah Moore earned four targets from quarterback Shane Buechele in a 23-19 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Saturday, but he was unable to do much with them. While Moore did haul in three passes, he totaled just eight yards and will wrap up his preseason with four catches (eight targets) for 13 yards. The former New York Jet and Cleveland Brown joined the Bills on a one-year deal in free agency and is expected to earn a roster spot, but he isn't necessarily a stone-cold lock. Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, and Joshua Palmer are the only Buffalo receivers who are guaranteed to make the team, leaving Moore grouped with several others (Curtis Samuel, Tyrell Shavers, Kristian Wilkerson, Laviska Shenault Jr., and KJ Hamler among them) fighting for two or three jobs. Except for Samuel (illness), who's also reportedly on the bubble and didn't play Saturday because of an illness, Moore has a more proven track record than the rest of the WRs competing for roles. That could help give him the edge in the competition.
