Chiefs WR Skyy Moore's roster slot could be in jeopardy

Jul 09, 2024

Similar to Kadarius Toney, Moore had a disappointing 2023 season and finished the season with a knee injury. Also similar to Toney, Moore needs to reestablish his role within the offense, whether as a primary slot receiver or a trusted all-around receiver, such as seven-year veteran Justin Watson.

If Moore is released or traded on cutdown day, it would create $1.29 million in salary-cap space for the Chiefs with less than $500,000 in dead money, according to Over the Cap.

Fantasy Impact:

The former second-round pick has had a difficult time carving out a role in Kansas City, hauling in only 43 receptions across his first two seasons. Undraftable in typical season-long leagues, Moore would be a Dynasty drop as well if he leaves one of the best offensive situations in the NFL.

Falcons TE Kyle Pitts is dealing with a hamstring injury and will be limited at practice today, per HC Raheem Morris.

Related Players: Charlie Woerner, Ross Dwelley

Fantasy Impact:

Nothing to worry about quite yet, as a limited Wednesday practice doesn't mean he won't be a full-go by kickoff. We'll keep an eye on practice reports over the next two days.

Adam Schefter believes Bengals making another push to get deal with WR Ja'Marr Chase

Adam Schefter said on the Pat McAfee Show: "The Ja'Marr Chase situation is tricky because he has two years left on his deal..I do believe the Bengals have made another push to try and get something done here..The question is will Ja'Marr Chase be willing to skip games."

Fantasy Impact:

Schefter pointed out the Bengals deal with Joe Burrow happened shortly after the opening kickoff of the 2023 season, and Schefter said it feels like something similar could happen with Chase this year. While he said it's going to be tricky, Schefter believes a deal will get done. Schefter also said a deal done this late into the process could mean Chase's snaps are limited in Week 1 and speculated maybe Chase just plays in the red zone until he gets back up to speed. He added the key is a Week 2 matchup with Kansas City.

Packers RB MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) gets day off

Pro Football Talk

Sep 03 · 6:05 PM EDT

Packers running back MarShawn Lloyd did not practice on Tuesday after working earlier in the week, but head coach Matt LaFleur said that it wasn’t because of a setback with his hamstring injury.

Related players: Josh Jacobs, Emanuel Wilson

Fantasy Impact:

LaFleur said, via Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com, that Lloyd had “two good days” and that the day off was part of the process of getting the third-round pick back to full speed ahead of Friday’s game against the Eagles. Lloyd would be a risky play even if he's active. Jacobs is the clear starter, but the team may go with Wilson as the RB2 depending how Lloyd does leading up to Friday night.
