Lands on IR
The Chiefs placed Moore on injured reserve Thursday due to a core-muscle injury.
Analysis: Moore joins fellow wideouts Hollywood Brown (shoulder) and Rashee Rice (knee) on IR, with the move occurring on the same day that DeAndre Hopkins was officially traded to the Chiefs. The soonest Moore can return to game action is Nov. 24 against the Panthers, but it's unclear if he'll be ready to go by then. Head coach Andy Reid said that the receiver's injury will "need to get fixed," implying that Moore will soon get surgery, per Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com. Prior to his placement on IR,…read more

Fails to reel in lone target
Moore played 33 of the Chiefs' 70 snaps on offense and failed to haul in his lone target in Sunday's 28-18 win over the 49ers. He also returned a kickoff for 28 yards.
Analysis: Moore's 47 percent snap share was his highest of the season, but he was unable to connect with quarterback Patrick Mahomes and remains without a reception through the Chiefs' first six games. Though Hollywood Brown (shoulder) and Rashee Rice (knee) are out for the regular season, and JuJu Smith-Schuster (hamstring) is set to miss Sunday's game in Las Vegas, Moore is unlikely to see his role dramatically increase in Week 8. The Chiefs are in advanced talks with the Titans in a trade to acquire…read more

Catchless day again
Moore didn't record a reception (on two targets) during Sunday's 17-10 victory over the Chargers.
Analysis: Moore could see additional reps at wide receiver moving forward, with the team's two top expected weapons at the position, Hollywood Brown (shoulder) and Rashee Rice (knee), likely down for an extended period. However, Moore logged just 13 snaps following Rice's departure Sunday, so there may not be that much upside for the second-year wideout, even with a slightly clearer path to snaps. Xavier Worthy (45), Justin Watson (43) and JuJu Smith-Schuster (32) all played more snaps than Moore, and…read more

Minimal run in Week 2
Moore logged just five snaps in Sunday's 26-25 win over the Bengals.
Analysis: Moore played just eight percent of the offensive snaps in the contest, ranking fifth among wideouts in the category. The third-year wideout has clearly fallen behind in the pecking order for playing time at this point and is best left on the waiver wire in nearly all formats, barring multiple injuries at the position that would open up playing time.

Fails to make impact Week 1
Moore played 10 offensive snaps (19 percent) but was not targeted in the Chiefs' 27-20 win over the Ravens on Thursday night.
Analysis: Moore wasn't able to record any offensive statistics in Kansas City's season-opener. Rookie first-round pick Xavier Worthy logging a two-TD debut effectively curtails any lingering hope that Moore will have a late breakout, especially once Marquise Brown (shoulder) manages to get healthy. With Rashee Rice, Worthy and Brown all available, Moore may not end up being active on game days.

Needs to earn spot on roster
Moore isn't a lock to make the 2024 roster, according to ESPN's Adam Teicher.
Analysis: The 2022 second-round pick has averaged 1.4 catches for 16.5 yards through 30 regular-season games, mostly serving as Kansas City's fourth or fifth wide receiver. It won't be surprising if Moore ends up earning a depth job again, though his fate partially depends on how things play out with the 2024 NFL Draft, Rashee Rice's legal situation, and Kadarius Toney's health, among other factors. Rice and free-agent signing Marquise Brown figure to play a lot when available, though neither can exactly…read more

Logs full practice Wednesday
Moore (knee) was a full practice participant Wednesday.
Analysis: After the Chiefs activated him from injured reserve earlier in the day, Moore handled every on-field rep after being contained to three limited practices during the first week of Super Bowl LVIII prep. It remains to be seen to what extent the team incorporates Moore into the offense Sunday against the 49ers, but in three of five games before sustaining a swollen knee Week 15, he logged at least a 49 percent snap share.

Comes off IR
The Chiefs activated Moore (knee) from injured reserve Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: After designating Moore for return from IR on Jan. 17, the Chiefs had until Wednesday to add him back on the active roster, or his season thus would be over. Now that the transaction has been made, Moore has a chance for his first game action since Week 15 in the Chiefs' Super Bowl LVIII matchup with the 49ers this Sunday.

Questionable after first week of SB prep
Moore (knee) was limited at Friday's practice and is listed as questionable after the first week of prep for Super Bowl LVIII against the 49ers.
Analysis: The Chiefs placed Moore on injured reserve after Week 15 due to a swollen knee, which so far has sidelined him for six consecutive contests. Because the team designated him for return from IR on Jan. 17, a decision to activate him will need to take place by Wednesday, and there's no telling if he's done enough to get back on the active roster after being listed as limited on all three practice reports this week. If he does, Moore should retain a small role in a Kansas City receiving corps with…read more

Moore (knee) was a limited participant in practice Thursday.
Analysis: Moore had the same listing on Wednesday's estimated practice report, after not practicing at all ahead of the AFC Championship Game against Baltimore.

It's unclear if that will happen or not.

Listed as limited
Moore (knee) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report.
Analysis: Moore last played Week 15 and was designated for return from injured reserve Jan. 17. The Chiefs will need to activate him from IR by Feb. 7 in order for him to be eligible to play in the Super Bowl matchup with the 49ers on Feb. 11. Even if that happens, Moore might not have much of a role. He played just 35 and 25 percent of snaps in his final two games before landing on IR, and he hasn't seen more than three targets in a game since Week 6.

Won't play Sunday
Moore (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Ravens.
Analysis: Moore, who was designated to return from injured reserve Jan. 17, didn't practice at all this week and will thus target a potential return to action Feb. 11 should the Chiefs advance to the Super Bowl. Prior to suffering his knee injury, Moore had logged 21 catches on 38 targets for 244 yards and a touchdown in 14 regular-season contests.

Won't practice Wednesday
Moore (knee) isn't participating in Wednesday's practice, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Though Moore was designated for return from injured reserve Jan. 17, the wideout hasn't been able to take part in practice in any fashion since having his 21-day evaluation window opened. As such, Moore is looking unlikely to be added back to the 53-man roster ahead of Sunday's AFC Championship Game matchup against the Ravens. It's quite possible that Kansas City is evaluating him with a potential return for the Super Bowl in mind, should the team get past the Ravens.

Moore (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Buffalo, Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports.

Designated for IR return
Moore (knee) is practicing Wednesday, opening a 21-day window for the Chiefs to evaluate him for a return from injured reserve, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Moore thus has a chance to return during the playoffs, and perhaps as soon as Sunday's game in Buffalo if the Chiefs are satisfied with how he looks during practice this week. Even if Moore is added back to the 53-man roster ahead of Sunday, he likely won't be in store for much playing time, as his role was scaled back a few weeks prior to the knee injury that sent him to IR in mid-December. Reduced playing time for Moore helped facilitate more snaps for Rashee Rice and, to a lesser extent,…read more

Playoff return possible
Moore (knee) could return this season if the team advances far enough in the playoffs, according to head coach Andy Reid, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Moore won't be eligible to return until the divisional round of the playoffs after going on injured reserve Monday, so it sounds like it's possible he may only need the minimum of four weeks to recover. The Western Michigan product ended his second regular season with very similar stats as his rookie campaign, making just 21 catches on 38 targets for 244 yards and a touchdown despite playing 174 more snaps on offense.

Placed on IR with knee injury
Moore (knee) was placed on injured reserve Monday, Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports.
Analysis: Moore will miss the remainder of the regular season. He left Sunday's 27-17 win over the Patriots due to knee swelling, and the injury is significant enough to require a stint on injured reserve. Moore finishes his disappointing sophomore campaign with 21 catches for 244 yards on 38 targets, three carries for 23 yards and one overall touchdown, but he'll be eligible to return for the divisional round of the playoffs if the Chiefs still are alive at that point.

Through 13 games, the second-year wideout has posted just 21 catches for 244 yards and one touchdown, underwhelming fantasy managers hoping for a breakout sophomore campaign entering the season.

Moore secured one of two targets for five yards in Sunday's 27-19 loss to the Packers.
Analysis: Moore played 44 snaps in the loss, second among all Chiefs wideouts behind only Rashee Rice (46). The second-year wideout continues to underwhelm with his opportunities and doesn't look to be a viable fantasy option in most formats. Moore has just one touchdown to his name this season and has topped 50 yards from scrimmage just once in 12 appearances.

Reels in all three targets
Moore gathered in all three targets for 34 yards during Sunday's 31-17 victory over the Raiders.
Analysis: Moore hadn't tallied more than a pair of catches in a game since Week 3 and hasn't finished with more receiving yards since then, either. That said, neither his receptions nor receiving yards are particularly impressive from a fantasy standpoint. The second-year wideout hasn't found pay dirt since Week 2 and can safely remain on the waiver wire in most formats.

He also has outputs of 11, 15 and eight yards among his last five contests, so there's little to get excited about regarding the second-year wideout's fantasy prospects.

Analysis: Moore logged just 25 percent of the offensive snaps for the Chiefs in Week 9, his lowest percentage of the season. His stat line falls on par with previous weeks, with his two grabs matching his output in three of the previous four games, but he did finish with his highest receiving yardage total since Week 3 against the Bears. Regardless, there's little to get excited about surrounding the second-year wideout's fantasy prospects the rest of the way.

Another dud outing in Week 8
Moore posted one reception (on three targets) for eight yards during Sunday's 24-9 defeat versus Denver.
Analysis: Moore hasn't surpassed two receptions in a game since Week 3 and finished third among wideouts with just 33 offensive snaps, trailing Rashee Rice (37) and Marquez Valdes-Scantling (35). There's little reason to roster Moore in any but dynasty or deep fantasy formats, considering how widespread the targets are outside of Travis Kelce.

Continues to disappoint
Moore had two receptions (on three targets) for 15 yards during Sunday's 31-17 victory over the Chargers.
Analysis: While Moore ranked second on the team in terms of snaps among Chiefs wideouts Sunday, he turned in just two catches for the third straight game and hasn't drawn more than four targets since Week 3. Rookie Rashee Rice has outperformed the second-year wideout on a weekly basis and has drawn 20 targets to Moore's 11 over the past four games, so things seem to be trending in different directions for the two young wideouts.

Pair of catches Thursday
Moore hauled in two of his four targets for 22 yards during Thursday's 19-8 victory over Denver.
Analysis: Moore has just four catches for 33 yards on eight targets to his name over the last three games, so the second-year wideout doesn't seem to be making much headway in the fantasy realm. There are simply no reliable fantasy wide receivers on the Chiefs on a week-to-week basis with a deep, but rather mediocre, room rotating in, so Moore can be left on the waiver wire in the vast majority of fantasy formats.

Snares two passes in Week 5
Moore caught all two targets for 11 yards during Sunday's 27-20 victory over the Vikings.
Analysis: Moore's production is a slight upgrade from the empty outing in the receptions column last week, though he also tallied a pair of rushes for 19 yards against the Jets. Either way, Moore reverted to being a fantasy dud after a couple of promising outings in Weeks 2 and 3, when he combined for seven catches for 112 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets. Until there is an upswing in the second-year wideout's production, he can be left on the bench or waiver wire in most formats.

Despite the healthy playing time, Moore finished behind Rashee Rice (five) and Noah Gray (three) in targets, along with Travis Kelce (nine), and he matched Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Kadarius Toney with two.

Finds end zone in Week 2 win
Moore caught three of four targets for 70 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 17-9 win over Jacksonville.
Analysis: Moore caught a nine-yard touchdown in the final minute of the first half. It was the first regular-season receiving touchdown for the 2022 second-round draft pick, who also caught one in the Super Bowl against the Eagles. Most of Moore's yardage came on Kansas City's last pass of the game, as he got free for a 54-yard gain to convert a crucial third down. Moore will look to build on this performance in Week 3 against the Bears.

Moore failed to bring in any of his three targets and rushed once for four yards in the Chiefs' 21-20 loss to the Lions on Thursday night.
Analysis: No one member of the Chiefs' pass-catching corps saw a major boost in production from the absence of Travis Kelce (knee), and Moore couldn't do anything with his three opportunities. The second-year wideout will be one of several explosive components of Kansas City's air attack this season, but Patrick Mahomes targeted a total of 12 players Thursday in Kelce's absence, so the night wasn't exactly a good gauge of how matters will evolve on that side of the ball.

Getting look as top slot man
Moore appears set to enter training camp as Kansas City's top slot receiver after an impressive showing in mandatory minicamp last month, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports. "Skyy's worked real hard this offseason," head coach Andy Reid said during minicamp. "He looks like he's on the same page with Patrick [Mahomes]. Let's keep on advancing as we go. He'll do that because he's wired right to do that."
Analysis: Moore had some notable ball-security issues as a return man and was limited to a part-time role on offense during his rookie season, finishing with just 22 catches for 250 yards and no touchdowns across 33 targets. Though Kansas City didn't lean on him much to fill in for the departed Tyreek Hill in 2022, Moore looks like he'll be asked to serve as more of a direct replacement in 2023 for JuJu Smith-Schuster, who left for the Patriots in free agency.

Moore finished his rookie campaign with 22 receptions on 33 targets for 250 receiving yards across 16 regular-season appearances. He added three rushes for 24 rushing yards and operated as a kick- and punt-returner in 2022.
Analysis: Moore caught five passes in back-to-back games during Weeks 11 and 12, totaling 99 receiving yards during that stretch, but he was also held without a catch in six games and had only one reception five times during the regular season.

Moore tallied one reception (on two targets) for seven yards during Sunday's 34-28 win over the Broncos.
Analysis: Moore posted just one touch for a second straight week after tallying five catches each in Weeks 11 and 12. The rookie's role hasn't grown much as the season has gone on, as he has yet to play 50-plus percent of the snaps in a game, but he has played 39-plus percent of the offensive snaps in each of the last four. Still, Moore's primarily a stash in dynasty and keeper formats at this point.

Moore logged zero targets during Sunday's 27-24 defeat versus the Bengals but rushed once for 12 yards.

Team-high five catches Sunday
Moore caught five of six targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 26-10 win over the Rams.
Analysis: While another lost fumble on a punt return may end up costing him those duties on a permanent basis, Moore made up for it by leading Kansas City in receptions on the afternoon, though the receptions didn't result in much yardage. The rookie has caught five passes in back-to-back games as he takes advantage of injuries to Mecole Hardman (abdomen) and Kadarius Toney (hamstring), giving him some deep-league fantasy intrigue heading into a Week 13 clash with the Bengals.

Another blank in box score
Moore didn't catch his lone target during Sunday's 20-17 overtime victory versus the Titans.
Analysis: Moore hasn't been relied on for a heavy role during his rookie campaign, logging no more than a 33 percent offensive snap share in a game thus far. However, given the draft capital the team put into Moore -- a second-round pick -- it's unlikely he will be forgotten yet. Still, the Chiefs acquired Kadarius Toney at the trade deadline and already sport three capable options in JuJu Smith-Schuster, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Mecole Hardman, along with star tight end Travis Kelce, so there may be…read more

Comes up empty
Moore didn't reel in his lone target during Sunday's 44-23 win versus San Francisco.
Analysis: Moore also fumbled a punt, which was recovered by the 49ers, so it wasn't exactly a banner day for the rookie wideout. Moore also logged just 14 offensive snaps (22 percent), so he's likely nothing more than a stash for dynasty and deep leagues at this juncture. Mecole Hardman, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and JuJu Smith-Schuster rank ahead of him in the pecking order. Still, Moore could unlock a more prominent role if one of the group misses time, given his versatility to play both in the slot and…read more

Catches one pass in loss
Moore caught one of three targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Bills.
Analysis: Moore once again had a quiet game with limited opportunities in Kansas City's offensive attack. However, he has seen his snap percentage increase in recent weeks as the Chiefs look to get the talented rookie involved more in the offense. If this trend continues, Moore could be an intriguing fantasy option down the stretch based on his playmaking ability. With that said, the 5-foot-10, 195-pound wideout will be difficult to rely on in a Week 7 matchup with the 49ers.

Small contribution Monday
Moore logged two receptions (on three targets) for 15 yards during Monday's 30-29 win versus Las Vegas.
Analysis: Moore did see a slight uptick to 25 offensive snaps in this one, marking a career-high total on that front. It also represents back-to-back weeks the rookie has posted career-best outputs. To be fair, the Chiefs trailed 17-0 and 20-7 in this one, so there was a more pass-heavy approach than usual that likely contributed to Moore's uptick. Still, it's an encouraging sign to see Moore a bit more involved in the offense.

Catches two passes in win
Moore caught two of four targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 41-31 win over the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Moore played 22 offensive snaps in Week 4, marking his highest total of the season so far. It's possible the Kansas City coaching staff is making an effort to get the rookie more involved as the season goes on, as his playmaking ability would be a great weapon for the Chiefs' high-flying offense. With that said, Moore operated as the team's No. 4 wideout behind Marquez Valdes-Scantling, JuJu Smith-Schuster and Mecole Hardman. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes is spreading the ball around to his pass…read more

No targets, muffs punt in Week 3
Moore wasn't targeted across his eight snaps on offense in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Colts.
Analysis: Moore has played just 10 offensive snaps over the Chiefs' last two games and hasn't been targeted in either contest. While Kansas City has all its passing-game options available, Moore looks like he'll be largely relegated to special-teams duties. Even his role as a return man could be on thin ice, as he had a muffed punt in the first quarter that set up the Colts' first touchdown of the day.

No targets in Week 2
Moore tallied zero targets during Thursday's 27-24 victory over the Chargers.
Analysis: Moore played just two total offensive snaps in the contest and looks to be fifth in the pecking order at wide receiver behind Marquez Valdes-Scantling, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Mecole Hardman and Justin Watson. That could change as it gets deeper into the season and the rookie wideout gets more adjusted to the pro level.

One grab in NFL debut
Moore hauled in their only target for 30 yards during Sunday's 44-21 win over Arizona.
Analysis: Moore wasn't heavily involved in the offensive gameplan in the opener, logging just 13 total snaps on offense. However, his lone reception did come while Patrick Mahomes was under center early in the second half. He could move up in the pecking order should other wideouts miss time, but it appears he's mainly in development mode early in the season.

Limited to return duties Thursday
Moore didn't see an official target but returned two punts for 51 yards in Thursday's preseason game against the Packers.
Analysis: The 2022 second-round pick was the intended target of a Chad Henne incompletion deep down the sideline on Kansas City's second possession of the game, but the play was wiped out by defensive pass interference. Moore's role on offense this preseason has been almost exclusively as a deep threat, and he may be taking over Mecole Hardman's spot from last season while Hardman moves into Tyreek Hill's.

Targeted deep by Mahomes
Moore didn't catch his only target in Saturday's 24-14 preseason win over Washington and added a one-yard punt return.
Analysis: Patrick Mahomes looked for Moore deep twice over the team's first two drives. Neither pass connected, though one of the plays was nullified by an offensive holding penalty. Moore's usage alongside the Chiefs' star quarterback is a promising sign regarding the rookie second-round pick's role, even if his chemistry with Mahomes still is developing at this point.

Catches three passes
Moore caught three passes for 23 yards in Saturday's preseason loss to the Bears.
Analysis: Moore wasn't a factor in Patrick Mahomes' lone drive of the night, but he caught one pass from Chad Henne in the first quarter and two more from Shane Buechele in the second. He'll be using the preseason to prove he deserves a meaningful role this season, though he may be stuck behind JuJu Smith-Schuster, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Mecole Hardman on the depth chart.

Quick return to practice
Moore (hip) returned to practice Wednesday, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.
Analysis: The quick return to practice suggests Moore escaped with little more than a bruise when he departed Tuesday's session early. The second-round pick is back on the field fighting for reps in a wideout corps that includes veterans JuJu Smith-Schuster, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Mecole Hardman.

Injures hip in practice
Moore left Tuesday's practice early due to a hip injury, Matt McCullen of Kansas City's official website reports.
Analysis: Moore is competing for a role in a WR group that also includes JuJu Smith-Schuster, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Mecole Hardman. It's a favorable situation for the 2022 second-round pick, but also one in which missed practice time could hurt his chances of getting on the field at all. Moore previously missed most of OTAs and minicamp with a hamstring injury.

Healthy to open camp
Moore (hamstring) participated in Saturday's practice, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.
Analysis: This follows a statement from the rookie second-rounder Friday in which he told Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com that he's "100 percent" after dealing with a hamstring issue during the offseason program. On Saturday, coach Andy Reid noted Moore "looked smooth and strong," and "his leg looked like it healed up well." Now that Moore is healthy, he'll look to make inroads in a wide receiver group that lost Tyreek Hill this offseason, leaving the likes of JuJu Smith-Schuster, Mecole Hardman,…read more

On track for training camp
Moore (hamstring) was "still getting up to speed" at June minicamp but nonetheless took reps with both the first- and second-team offenses, Dave Skretta of The Associated Press reports.
Analysis: It's a sign of progress after the hamstring injury kept Moore off the field throughout most of OTAs. He's seemingly on track to be a full-go at the beginning of training camp, with a nice opportunity ahead as a rookie second-round pick in a pass-happy offense that lost WR Tyreek Hill in the offseason. JuJu Smith-Schuster, Mecole Hardman and Marquez Valdes-Scantling represent the primary competition for snaps and WR targets, though the Chiefs also might use their backup tight ends a bit more…read more
