Moore caught 11 passes with the Commanders last season. He initially entered the NFL as a 2016 fourth-round pick with the Ravens, and spent five seasons in Baltimore. The Ravens brought him aboard today after a workout that also included free agent WRs Sterling Shepard and Dante Pettis.

He managed a 44-yard catch for Washington’s longest completion of the day, and Moore continues to handily see the most snaps amongst Commanders non-Deebo/McLaurin receivers. The only problem is that unless he runs into a touchdown, it absolutely does not matter for fantasy purposes. The 32-year-old will be a desperation FLEX in Week 8 against the Chiefs.

Yes, that Chris Moore. With Terry McLaurin out and Deebo Samuel clearly hampered by a hamstring issue, Moore ended up second in targets behind Zach Ertz during the Monday Night Football contest, and led the team in yardage. It’s a fun story for a player who has hung around for an awfully long time, but even with the trip to the end zone, he can’t be trusted in fantasy for Week 7 against the Cowboys. Or any other week.

It was an end-zone drop, at least. Moore started and finished second on the team in snaps among wideouts with 35 — well ahead of rookie Jaylin Lane’s 20. Neither player looks fantasy-viable at this point. Frankly, the fact that the Commanders are starting someone who was a foundation piece for the 2021 Texans is a little disturbing. Get well soon, Terry McLaurin.
