By Jakob Ashlin
2. WR Rondale Moore, Arizona Cardinals
Rostered: 46.5%
Moore had a solid game against the Seattle Seahawks, recording six receptions for 49 yards on 10 targets. Moore has now been targeted 18 times over his past two games. Additionally, Marquise Brown went down in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s game with an injury. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, he was spotted after the game in a walking boot.
Cardinals’ WR Marquise Brown, who left Sunday’s game with a foot injury, was spotted after the game in a walking boot. He told reporters that initial X-rays were negative and he will undergo further testing Monday.

The return of DeAndre Hopkins is looming. Hopkins is eligible to return from a six-game suspension this week. If Brown misses time, Moore should continue to serve as the No. 2 wide receiver in the pass-heavy Cardinals offense. The Cardinals are leading the NFL in pass attempts (256) this season. If Brown is active, Moore will still hold value due to the Cardinals’ passing volume, but he will become more matchup dependent.
Fantasy owners should monitor the status of Brown.
