The Kansas City Chiefs agreed to a one-year deal to re-sign backup quarterback Matt Moore on Friday, according to a source. The Chiefs hope they won't need Moore or Chad Henne after signing superstar QB Patrick Mahomes to a 10-year, record-breaking extension this week, but Moore will provide valuable depth. Moore is heading into his age-36 season and made two starts for the Chiefs in his first season in KC in 2019 when Mahomes was dealing with a knee ailment. The veteran completed 59 of his 91 pass attempts for 659 yards, four touchdowns and zero interceptions. You can ignore him for fantasy purposes obviously.
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Matt Moore was given another start on Sunday without Patrick Mahomes (knee) available. Moore completed 25 of 35 passing attempts for 275 yards and a touchdown in the Week 9 victory over the Vikings. He was serviceable during his two starts, but Mahomes is expected to return for their matchup with the Titans next week. It was a decent game for Moore, but he isn't really on the fantasy radar anymore going forward.
Patrick Mahomes Out, Matt Moore Starting In Week 9
Kansas City Chiefs starting quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) will miss another game on Sunday when the Chiefs face the Minnesota Vikings, which means that Matt Moore will earn another start for the Chiefs. Moore threw for 267 yards and a pair of touchdowns in Week 8, so his presence isn't a death sentence for the Chiefs, but the Vikings have a solid defense, so while you're still starting Chiefs position players, you might want to avoid actually starting Moore. Mahomes will likely be back in Week 10.
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Matt Moore played fairly well in the Week 8 loss to the Packers, but fantasy owners shouldn't lean on the veteran. He completed 24 of 36 passing attempts for 267 yards and two touchdowns. Starting quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) has been practicing and has a chance to suit up versus the Vikings in Week 9. Moore would only be a low-end QB2 if he does start on Sunday, but he should only be used in desperation since he doesn't have much upside.
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Matt Moore was not expected to play as well as he did during the Week 8 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Moore drew the start at quarterback due to starter Patrick Mahomes (knee) sitting out. He completed 24 of 36 passes for 267 yards and two touchdowns without an interception in the loss. It's unclear if Mahomes will be ready for Week 9 versus the Vikings. Moore would be considered a QB2 for that one, assuming Mahomes isn't ready to play yet.
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Matt Moore will get the nod under center for Week 8 versus the Green Bay Packers. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) is expected to miss three weeks after suffering an injury last week. Moore completed 10 of 19 passes for 117 yards and a touchdown in the victory last Thursday. The Chiefs are expected to play more conservative with the football while Moore is the quarterback. Fantasy owners can consider Moore a QB2 for this game and should downgraded most of their players on offense without Mahomes.
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Matt Moore played surprisingly well after being thrown into the fire during Thursday's Week 7 matchup versus the Denver Broncos. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) exited in the second quarter after suffering a right knee injury. The veteran Moore was asked to take over and run the offense for the rest of the game. Moore completed 10 of 19 passing attempts for 117 yards and one touchdown in the victory. It's unclear if Mahomes is going to miss time yet, but Moore could carry some fantasy value, assuming Mahomes is out at least one week. Moore might have limited fantasy value for QB needy fantasy teams since he's surrounded by such a great offense. Don't expect him to light it up like Mahomes, but Moore looked decent on Thursday.
Free-agent quarterback Matt Moore, who was most recently with the Miami Dolphins, signed an undisclosed deal with the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday. Moore will replace quarterback Chad Henne (ankle) as quarterback Patrick Mahomes' backup. Henne was lost over the weekend due to a fractured right ankle. Mahomes is the No. 1 quarterback in fantasy, and Moore has no fantasy value as long as Mahomes remains healthy.
The Tennessee Titans and San Francisco 49ers have inquired about free-agent quarterback Matt Moore. Moore has turned down the Titans. The Titans are looking for QB depth after Blaine Gabbert suffered a concussion in Week 3. San Fran also needs depth with Jimmy Garoppolo (knee) out for the rest of the season. Moore spent the last seven seasons with the Miami Dolphins.
The Kansas City Chiefs are an option to sign free-agent quarterback Matt Moore. Moore is one of the more attractive backup quarterbacks remaining on the market. He has spent the last seven years with Miami, playing in eight games the last two seasons while tossing 12 touchdowns to eight interceptions. In Kansas City, he'd just be holding the clipboard for young quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
