What It Means:

Taylor expects Moore to make up for the absence with "plenty of repetitions in camp," so the injury doesn't appear to be a concern, but the missed reps are notable for a rookie receiver on a team that is replacing Tyreek Hill. JuJu Smith-Schuster is expected to take over as the Chiefs' No. 1 receiver and Travis Kelce should dominate targets, but Moore could emerge as the third option in a Patrick Mahomes' offense. In the event that Moore's injury lingers into the regular season, it would be a boost for Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Mecole Hardman.

Moore is currently the WR63 in numberFire's preseason rankings. Our models project him for 70.3 targets, 43.5 receptions, 564.8 yards, and 4.88 touchdowns. MVS is projected for 73.5 targets and Hardman is projected for 54.3 of his own. In his final season at Western Michigan, Moore registered a 39.5% target share, which ranked in the 99th percentile, per PlayerProfiler. He also recorded a 90th-percentile college dominator rating while posting 94 receptions for 1,283 yards and 10 touchdowns.
