Skyy Moore News

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. Due to his lack of targets, Moore was irrelevant in standard fantasy leagues despite Kansas City's lack of wideout depth, but he's still a core piece of the Chiefs' future and could make a sizable impact in Year 2 with Mecole Hardman and JuJu Smith-Schuster set for free agency this offseason. The rookie saw at least one target in each of his three playoff appearances, including a seven-target outing in the AFC Championship Game and a big touchdown in the Super Bowl.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Skyy Moore (hand) is available for the Divisional Round against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Saturday. Moore practiced in full this week and is good to go after missing the Chiefs' regular-season finale against the Las Vegas Raiders. Mecole Hardman (pelvis) will remain out this weekend, but Moore still isn't guaranteed consistent snaps and targets ahead of Marquez Valdes-Scantling or Kadarius Toney. Moore averaged 2.1 targets per game during the regular season and never played more than 46% of the offensive snaps in any game. numberFire's models project JuJu Smith-Schuster to lead the Chiefs receivers with 6.1 targets in the Divisional Round, followed by Kadarius Toney (4.9) and Marquez Valdes-Scantling (4.2). The Jaguars have the No. 26 pass defense and No. 8 run defense in our adjusted team rankings, providing a pass-funnel for Mahomes and company to exploit.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Skyy Moore (hand) was a full participant in Tuesday's session. After sitting out in Week 18 with a hand injury. Moore is on track to return with a full practice on Tuesday. In a matchup against a Jacksonville Jaguars' unit allowing wide receivers to record 11.8 receptions for 144.9 yards, Moore's FanDuel salary stands at $4,800. On 32 targets this season, Moore has recorded 22 receptions for 250 yards and 1.50 yards per route run.

Moore sat out the Chiefs' regular-season finale against the Raiders on Jan. 7 due to a laceration on his right hand, but he looks to be feeling fine coming out of Kansas City's bye week during the opening round of the postseason. Kansas City could remain without Mecole Hardman (pelvis) for Saturday's divisional-round matchup with the Jaguars, but his absence didn't open up extensive work for Moore when the rookie last suited up Week 17 against the Broncos. Moore recorded three catches for 33 yards on four targets in that contest but played just 26 percent of the Chiefs' snaps on offense.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Skyy Moore (hand) will not play on Saturday against the Las Vegas Raiders, per head coach Andy Reid. Moore missed Week 17 with a hand injury and he will remain out for the final game of the regular season. Mecole Hardman (abdomen) is expected back this week after being reinstated from injured reserve, so he will help make up for Moore's absence. numberFire's models project Hardman for 3.5 targets, 2.4 receptions, and 27.3 yards on Saturday. He has a $5,500 salary on FanDuel and is the WR69 in our Week 18 rankings. Per our adjusted season-long team rankings, the Raiders have the second-worst pass defense and overall defense in the NFL.

The injury prompted Moore's early exit from last Sunday's win over the Broncos and resulted in his practice reps being managed carefully for Week 18. Though the rookie wideout doesn't appear to be dealing with a long-term concern, he'll sit out the regular-season finale with the hope of being back to full strength for the start of the postseason. Once healthy, Moore may not have much of a role for Kansas City, as the Chiefs have all their other key receivers available now that Mecole Hardman (pelvis) has been reinstated from injured reserve. The second-round pick out of Western Michigan finishes the regular season with 22 catches for 250 yards on 33 targets to go with 24 yards on three carries.
