A.J. Green vs. Christian Kirk vs. Rondale Moore: Who Sees More Action with DeAndre Hopkins Out?

The Arizona Cardinals were dealt a major blow on Wednesday as receiver DeAndre Hopkins reportedly will miss the rest of the regular season with a knee injury. 

While Hopkins has a chance to return in the playoffs, the Cardinals will need to get there, and hopefully with a good seed, with different options in the receiving game. 

Quarterback Kyler Murray has been fantastic this season when he’s healthy, but who will he lean on without his top target? 

Rondale Moore, Christian Kirk and A.J. Green have all played roles in the Cardinals’ offense this season, but which player should you target in prop bets and touchdown scoring props at WynnBET or in your fantasy lineups? 

Green, who missed Week 9 with an injury, has seen his snap counts fall over the course of the season. He played just 69 percent of the Cardinals’ snaps in Weeks 10 and 11, but he did see that number rise to 72 percent in Week 14. 

Rookie Rondale Moore, who has been a popular name in fantasy circles, has made his big plays on the year, but his role has been inconsistent. Moore has one game with double-digit targets (Week 11), but he also has eight games with four or less targets, including the last two contests. 

The most reliable player to target at the moment in Christian Kirk, as he leads this trio in receptions (53), yards (718) and touchdowns (four). Kirk has also played two of his highest snap counts of the season in the past five weeks. 

Kliff Kingsbury may try some new things on offense with Hopkins out, but Kirk has been on the field the most. 

While Moore may be the flashy pickup in fantasy leagues now that snaps are opening up, Green (10 targets, seven catches, 102 yards against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 14) and Kirk have played far more snaps on the year and stand to benefit. 

Given the opportunities when they’re all healthy, I’d back Kirk or Green to lead Arizona in receiving the rest of the season.
