Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Skyy Moore didn't exactly take the fantasy football world by storm in his first season. He has yet to become an integral part of the Chiefs' offensive approach, but fantasy fans are hopeful that will occur in Year 2.
The rookie wideout had a quiet debut season in the NFL, offering little impact to either the Chiefs or fantasy managers. Heading into the Divisional playoff round this weekend against the Jaguars, Moore is also dealing with a hand injury.
This leaves fantasy managers wondering about his availability. Is he injured? Will he play this weekend? Let's dive in.

Skyy Moore Injury Updates For Fantasy Football
Skyy Moore Availability Update
In the team's final regular season game against the Raiders, the focus was on capturing the first-round bye, but also fine-tuning for what they hope to be a long playoff run.
Rest and healing clearly were a priority for the team when it came to their promising young rookie. The 22-year-old has been dealing with a nagging injury ever since he left Week 18 against the Broncos after apparently suffering a laceration of his right hand.
Though it doesn't appear to be a long-term concern, the team played it safe and sat him in the team's final non-playoff contest.
Is Skyy Moore Injured or Playing in the Divisional Round of Fantasy Football?
The luxury Kansas City had by being the best team in the AFC is that they were awarded the only bye in the conference. This allows for them to have an extra week of preparation, rest, and time to hopefully get a productive Moore back into the mix. It appears that since his injury isn't too serious, his chances of suiting up on Saturday afternoon are pretty high.
In fact, on Tuesday, Moore returned to practice for the first time in weeks as a full participant. His hand still appears slightly swollen and sore but is reportedly showing improvement. But perhaps more importantly, if healthy, do fantasy managers even want him to play?
The former Western Michigan University product was selected by the Chiefs in the second round of the 2022 NFL draft, and in his inaugural season, he registered just 22 receptions for 250 yards and zero touchdowns. However, there is still plenty of hope and enthusiasm when it comes to Moore's future, and if he is active for the team's first playoff game this upcoming weekend, there would be no better time for a coming-out party for the talented rookie receiver.
