Who Should I Start? Tyrie Cleveland or Elijah Moore

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Tyrie Cleveland (head, neck) was carted off the field during Thursday's preseason matchup versus the Browns. Luckily, the update wasn't as bad as expected, with the wideout officially diagnosed with a concussion and sprained neck. He's expected to make a full recovery. Cleveland has appeared in 23 games during his career, all in Denver, amassing just eight catches for 91 yards. He signed with the Eagles during the offseason, but he'll need to scratch and claw to make the active roster for Week 1, assuming he's healthy by then.

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.
