Skyy Moore 2022 Outlook: High Upside But Opportunity May Be Limited
3 years agoKansas City Chiefs rookie wide receiver Skyy Moore of Western Michigan immediately piqued the interest of fantasy managers when we came off the board as the No. 54 overall pick to be paired with quarterback Patrick Mahomes. The problem for Moore is simply his expected opportunity. With the Chiefs adding free-agent wide receivers Marquez Valdes-Scantling and JuJu Smith-Schuster to complement tight end Travis Kelce, Moore could struggle to see the field consistently, especially early in the year. He could be very relevant down the stretch in 2022, potentially impacting the fantasy playoffs, but he is more of a late-round play who could end up being a valuable mid-season waiver acquisition. Since the draft concluded at the end of April, ADP data shows him being taken at pick No. 114 overall as the WR48. It ranks him as the fifth rookie wide receiver behind Treylon Burks in Tennessee (WR38), Drake London in Atlanta (WR40), Garrett Wilson of the New York Jets (WR45), and Chris Olave in New Orleans (WR47). It also places him as the second-highest drafted wide receiver on the Chiefs, behind only Smith-Schuster (WR30). This is fair value considering these other receivers have less restricted paths to targets.
