Should I Pickup Chris Moore For Fantasy Football Week 10? Waiver Wire Outlook

Chris Moore was a solid streamer at wide receiver last week with Brandin Cooks and Nico Collins out for the Houston Texans.  Moore caught four of five targets for 43 yards and a touchdown in their absence, finishing as the WR18 in Week 9.

Cooks and Collins are both expected to suit up against the New York Giants this Sunday. This weekend, Moore will be relegated to a secondary role in Houston's passing game.

Should I Pickup Chris Moore for Fantasy Football in Week 10?

If you were gutsy enough to start the seventh-year veteran against a stingy Philadelphia defense, congratulations. Chris Moore produced 14.5 points for his fantasy owners in a week where six teams were on byes. His 13-yard touchdown salvaged the day for fantasy owners.

Moore posted season-highs in receptions, targets, and snaps without Brandin Cooks (personal) and Nico Collins (groin) playing in last Thursday's game against the Eagles. This week, the Giants provide the fourth-worst matchup for Moore and his wide receiver teammates.

With Cooks and Collins making their return to Houston's huddle, Moore is likely to see a sharp decline in opportunities. Look elsewhere on the waiver wire this week, especially against a New York secondary allowing the sixth-fewest passing yards this year.

What is Chris Moore's Fantasy Football Outlook with Nico Collins and Brandin Cooks Healthy?

With Nico Collins and Brandin Cooks returning from their brief hiatuses, Chris Moore's fantasy value takes a significant hit. The former Baltimore Raven was averaging 3.2 targets per game prior to this past week.

Moore has exceeded 10 points in back-to-back weeks, but each game contained a touchdown that can't be depended on going forward. Houston's top-two wide receivers combine for 38% of targets in the Houston offense. Chris Moore belongs on the waiver wire unless Collins or Cooks goes down with an injury.

If you started Chris Moore last week, good job! Don't count on his presence to remain a consistent, contributing part of your fantasy team. Brandin Cooks and Nico Collins should reestablish themselves as the top targets in Houston's offense.
