After struggling in Week 1 against the Detroit Lions, Skyy Moore and the Kansas City Chiefs bounced back in Week 2 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The Chiefs' offense led by Patrick Mahomes has struggled so far but is likely to get better going forward. With a relatively much easier run of fixtures ahead, many fantasy football managers are looking at Moore as a potential waiver wire pick-up.

Sky Moore Fantasy Outlook For Week 3
In Week 1 against the Detroit Lions, Skyy Moore was targeted three times but failed to record a single reception. There were growing concerns about the 2022 second-round pick, but he had a productive game in Week 2.
Against the Jaguars, the 23-year-old wide receiver recorded three receptions for 70 yards and a touchdown on four targets. He made big plays for the defending Super Bowl champions and played a key role in their win.
Patrick Mahomes has trust in him, and his Week 2 performance will result in Chiefs quarterbacks targeting him much more in the coming weeks. So far in two games, Moore has been targeted on 8% of the snaps that he played. He has been involved in 64% of the team's snaps, and his usage could increase much more if he continues to play well.
Should I Pickup Skyy Moore Off the Waiver Wire in Fantasy Football?
The Chiefs will face the Chicago Bears in Week 3, who arguably have the worst defense in the NFL. This is a great opportunity for Patrick Mahomes and company to redeem themselves and have a big game.
It's the ideal time to claim a player like Skyy Moore off waivers, as he has a chance to have the best game of his career. Moore is trusted by the Chiefs in critical situations, and he is expected to have a productive game against the Bears.
Moreover, Travis Kelce is still not at his best, and this gives the other Chiefs receivers a chance to come up and make big plays for the team. Moore, who has already matched his touchdown tally from last season, can make a name for himself on Sunday.
