BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
OWNED IN: 40% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Rondale Moore is slowly but surely bulldozing his way into a starting role in the NFL and a more-than-viable one in the fantasy realm to go with it. Even though Moore had to wait three full weeks of games played to log back-to-back outings in which he was part of more than 40% of the Cards total snaps, the moment has arrived: Moore played 33 in W4 and followed that with 29 more in W5 to score himself some 42% and 48% snap shares for the first time this year.
The great thing about Moore is that he hasn't needed to play a ton to rack up points. Even when he only was on the field for 20 snaps in W1 he still made the most of those plays catching 4-of-5 targets for 68 yards and a healthy 10.8 PPR points. He exploded in Week 2 (8-7-114-1) to start solidifying his role in the attack, then put up a worrying 1.6-PPR dud, but he's looked the part of late once more. Moore scored a low 6.7 PPR points in W4 but it's not that he could do much more given his opportunities (he went 3-for-3 for 28 receiving yards and added 9 rushing yards on 2 carries).
Moore is now coming off his second-best game of the season, one in which he featured heavily for Arizona and got to haul in 5 receptions (6 targets) for 59 yards through the air. Moore added 38 rushing yards (yes, you read that right) on 3 carries for the Cards, and it's been now back-to-back weeks without fumbling the rock after his early-season woes with ball security. Moore is obviously not going to outperform all-time stud DeAndre Hopkins, but he is already the WR3 in total PPR points through five games and most probably the WR2 of the team going forward as Christian Kirk is losing playing time weekly and A.J. Green returned back to his washed-up version (2.3 PPR points) in Week 5 even though he was part of 80% of all plays.
