Matt Moore

Week 8 vs. Green Bay Packers

Patrick Mahomes has been limited in practice this week, but it'd be surprising to see him return to the lineup so soon. We fully expect Matt Moore to start against the Packers. Moore looked decent last week during fill-in duty against Denver. He completed 10-of-19 passes for 117 yards with one touchdown and no turnovers. He gets a tough matchup in his first NFL start since 2017 as he faces the Packers who have allowed the sixth-fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks. Green Bay is giving up an average of 13.96 points to the position per week, so you can likely expect that type of production out of Moore. He's a below-average play in Mahomes' absence.

Wild Card Round at Pittsburgh
Matt Moore heads to Pittsburgh on Wild Card Weekend with the Dolphins as a 10-point underdog. Moore has averaged 224.7-2.7-1.0 through the air in three starts. That's more than 17 fantasy points per week but inflated by a four touchdown game against the lowly Jets. Against the Steelers in Week 6, Ryan Tannehill put up 252-0-0 through the air, despite Miami scoring 30 points. This is a team that wants to run first with Jay Ajayi. On Wild Card Weekend, there are better options than Matt Moore in your lineups.

Week 16 at Buffalo
This is Week 16, the fantasy championship week for most. You are not starting Matt Moore in Buffalo, even after four touchdowns last week against the pathetic Jets secondary. Don't even think about it.
