The Arizona Cardinals have signed free-agent wide receiver Chris Moore to a one-year deal on Thursday. This move makes sense given the fact Arizona has let Marquise Brown walk and traded Rondale Moore. Although, there's not a ton of value here, but the veteran wideout is a low risk move for the Cardinals. His best season came with the Houston Texans during the 2022 season. He finished with 48 receptions, 548 yards, and two touchdowns during that season. It's unlikely that he does that again, but he might get a decent amount of reps if the Cardinals fail to add anyone else this offseason.
Chris Moore Limited, Kyle Philips Fully Practices Thursday
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Chris Moore (ribs) stayed limited in Thursday's practice, while teammate Kyle Philips (hamstring) logged another full session. Moore brought in one pass on two targets for nine yards in last Sunday's loss to the Seattle Seahawks, but he is nursing an injury to his ribs that's threatening his availability for Week 17 versus the Houston Texans. The 30-year-old veteran is an ancillary option in Tennessee's passing game and belongs nowhere near fantasy lineups if he is available on Sunday. Though Philips looks certain to be active and return from a two-game absence with a hamstring issue, he is essentially in the same boat with just 13 catches on 19 targets for 166 scoreless yards for the Titans this year. Big-armed rookie quarterback Will Levis (ankle) will likely be back in the saddle against Houston, but this low-volume pass offense has only been able to most consistently support top target DeAndre Hopkins.
Chris Moore Limited, Kyle Philips A Full Go In Practice
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Chris Moore (ribs) was limited in Wednesday's practice, while Kyle Philips (hamstring) was a full-go. Even with Nick Westbrook-Ikhine (hand) done for the year, Moore doesn't have a very big role in Tennessee's offense as the No. 3 receiver behind DeAndre Hopkins and Treylon Burks. The 30-year-old veteran caught only one pass for a nine-yard gain in the Week 16 loss to the Seattle Seahawks and has just 18 receptions on the year for 362 yards and no touchdowns on 28 targets. Philips has missed the last two games due to a hamstring issue but looks primed to return in Week 17 against the Houston Texans. Philips will continue to be well off the fantasy radar in his second NFL season if he plays this weekend. He has 13 catches on 19 targets for 166 yards and no touchdowns in eight games this year.
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Chris Moore rushed once for 38 yards and caught one pass for 49 yards in the blowout loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. He led the Titans in total yards from scrimmage with 87, but he remains off the fantasy radar. Treylon Burks (concussion) could return from a concussion in Week 12, and DeAndre Hopkins remains the clear No. 1 wide receiver for rookie quarterback Will Levis. Tennessee takes on the Carolina Panthers next Sunday.
Chris Moore Expected To Be Available Thursday Night
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Chris Moore is currently away from the team due to a personal matter and hasn't practice this week, but he's expected to be available for Thursday night's contest against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Moore didn't draw a single target for the second time this year in the Week 8 win over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday while playing 40 percent of the offensive snaps. The 30-year-old really can't be trusted in starting fantasy lineups, even in deeper leagues. In his first year in Tennessee in 2023, he's caught five of nine targets for 140 yards and no touchdowns in seven games (two starts). Rookie quarterback Will Levis should give the Titans' aerial attack more upside, but Moore remains off the fantasy radar for now.
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Chris Moore has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens. He initially exited the contest in the third quarter after absorbing a head-to-head hit from Baltimore Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton. Hamilton was immediately ejected from the contest. Meanwhile, Moore was quickly ruled out. He finishes Week 6 with one catch for six yards.
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Chris Moore, who is coming off the best season of his NFL career, will look to be versatile in order to help his new team in 2023. "I can do whatever they need me to do," Moore said. "First, I am a football player, and then I'm a receiver. Whatever they want me to do, I'm going to do it." The former fourth-rounder of the Ravens in 2016, Moore spent the last two years with the Texans and caught 48 passes for 548 yards and two TDs in 16 games (seven starts) in 2022. In his six NFL seasons, he's caught 116 passes for 1,286 yards and eight scores, and he also has experience as a kick returner. The 29-year-old will likely be behind Treylon Burks, Kyle Phillips and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine in the receiving pecking order, though, so he'll be off the fantasy radar to begin the year.
The Tennessee Titans agreed to terms on an undisclosed deal with free-agent wide receiver Chris Moore on Wednesday. In his second season with the Houston Texans last year, Moore posted career-highs in receptions (48), targets (74) and receiving yards (548) while finding the end zone two times in 16 games (seven starts). The 29-year-old pass-catcher shouldn't be expected to top those numbers in a run-first Titans offense, though, and Tennessee will likely add more bodies to the receiver room in next week's draft. Moore will be competing for playing time alongside Treylon Burks, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Kyle Phillips in his new home. He won't be worth a draft selection in standard 12-team fantasy leagues.
Chris Moore, Brandin Cooks Active Versus The Titans
Houston Texans wide receivers Chris Moore (foot) and Brandin Cooks (calf) are officially active for Saturday's game against the Tennessee Titans. Moore was added to the injury report with a foot issue after being limited in practice throughout the week. With Nico Collins (foot) on injured reserve, the 29-year-old should have an expanded role for the rest of the season. Moore remains a flex option in a plus matchup versus the Titans. Cooks returns to action after missing the last three weeks with a hamstring injury. The 29-year-old has caught 44 passes for 520 yards and a touchdown over 10 games in 2022. Cooks will serve as Houston's top wide receiver and is considered a borderline WR3 in Week 16.
Houston Texans wide receivers Brandin Cooks (calf) and Chris Moore (foot) are both listed as questionable to play on Saturday on Christmas Eve against the Tennessee Titans in Week 16. Cooks was able to practice in full the last two days and is fully expected to end his three-game absence. The Texans already ruled Nico Collins (foot) out for a third straight game, so the team could be very thin behind Cooks at wideout if Moore is unable to get cleared. The 29-year-old Cooks shouldn't be limited at all and should be quarterback Davis Mills' top target, but there's very limited fantasy upside in this offense. After missing three games, it's hard to recommend Cooks as anything more than a WR4/flex dart throw in deeper fantasy leagues. If Moore is out, Phillip Dorsett should step in as the team's No. 2 pass-catcher.
