Cardinals' Rondale Moore: Provides update on health
Rotowire
Moore told Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com on Friday that he underwent surgeries on both sides of his groin to repair a sports hernia and also on his pinky finger since the Cardinals placed him on injured reserve on Dec. 14.
Moore dealt with hamstring, knee, hand and groin injuries during his second pro campaign, which limited him to a 41-414-1 line on 56 targets to go with six carries for minus-5 yards in eight appearances. With some clarity regarding the aforementioned health concerns, he likely remains in recovery mode in the early stages of the offseason. Moore, a 2021 second-round pick, will aim to be 100 percent by the start of the offseason program this spring.

Cardinals' Rondale Moore: Shut down for season
Rotowire
Arizona placed Moore (groin) on injured reserve Wednesday, ending his season, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Moore's recovery from a groin injury apparently isn't going well, and his fantasy value likely would have taken a hit even if he was healthy enough to come back late in the season, given that DeAndre Hopkins and Marquise Brown are available to soak targets from new starting quarterback Colt McCoy while Kyler Murray (knee) is out for the final four contests. Moore submitted some strong performances in his second NFL season, in between the hamstring injury that cost him Weeks 1 through 3 and the groin issue that's now sidelined him since Week 11. The 2021 second-round pick averaged 5.9 catches for 59.1 yards in a seven-game stretch Weeks 4 through 10, right before he suffered the season-ending injury. Moore should be a big part of the Arizona offense next season, be it under head coach Kliff Kingsbury's direction or someone else's.

Cardinals' Rondale Moore: Out against New England
Rotowire
Moore (groin) will not play Monday against the Patriots, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Despite a Week 13 bye, Moore never managed to practice this week and subsequently will miss his second consecutive game. In Moore's absence, expect the offense to run through the dynamic combo of DeAndre Hopkins and Marquise Brown, with A.J. Green and Greg Dortch pitching in.

Cardinals' Rondale Moore: Idle for another practice
Rotowire
Moore (groin) didn't practice Friday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Even with the benefit of a Week 13 bye coupled with a longer turnaround than usual for Week 14 with the Cardinals hosting the Patriots on Monday night, Moore doesn't seem to have made any tangible progress in his recovery from the groin injury he suffered early in the Week 11 loss to the 49ers. Unless Moore is able to get back on the field in some capacity Saturday for the Cardinals' final practice session of the week, he'll likely miss his second straight game Monday.

Cardinals' Rondale Moore: Still not practicing
Rotowire
Moore (groin) didn't practice Thursday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
The Cardinals are coming off their bye week, but Moore has yet to mix into drills since injuring his groin in Week 11 against the 49ers. Meanwhile, DeAndre Hopkins also missed Thursday's session due to an illness, leaving Marquise Brown, A.J. Green, Greg Dortch (thumb) and Robbie Anderson as the team's current healthy options at wide receiver. Moore will have two more opportunities to practice this week before Arizona potentially makes a ruling on his status for Monday's game versus the Patriots.

Cardinals' Rondale Moore: Stashes (WR Preview)
Rotowire
If Moore can get healthy for the Fantasy playoffs, he has a shot at eight-plus targets per game in one of the most pass-happy offenses in the league. That would make him a No. 3 wide receiver in PPR leagues with significant upside if Marquise Brown or DeAndre Hopkins miss time.

Cardinals' Rondale Moore: Not spotted Thursday
Rotowire
Moore (groin) wasn't present at the open portion of Thursday's practice, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
On Tuesday, coach Kliff Kingsbury said he was hopeful Moore would be able to out an end to a one-game absence Monday versus the Patriots, but the wide receiver hasn't been mixed into drills yet this week, at least in front of the media. The Cardinals will post their first injury report of Week 14 on Thursday, at which point it'll become clear whether or not Moore is making progress through his groin issue.

Cardinals' Rondale Moore: Not seen at practice
Rotowire
Moore (groin) doesn't appear to be practicing Wednesday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Coming out of a bye week, Arizona head coach Kliff Kingsbury said Tuesday that he hopes Moore can return for Monday's game against New England. The Cardinals will release their first official injury report Thursday, giving Moore three additional chances to practice before the game. Greg Dortch (thumb) could fill in as the No. 3 receiver if Moore isn't ready to face the Patriots.

Cardinals' Rondale Moore: Week 14 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
We hope Moore is healthy coming off the Cardinals bye in Week 13, and we'll see how he does playing with DeAndre Hopkins and Marquise Brown together for the first time. Prior to hurting his groin in Week 11, Moore had scored at least 14 PPR points in three games in a row, but he did that with Brown sidelined. There should be enough targets to make Moore a No. 3 PPR receiver in most leagues, starting in Week 14 against the Patriots, but keep an eye on the injury report. Still, he's worth adding now for up to 5 percent of your remaining FAB.

Cardinals' Rondale Moore: Chance to return in Week 14
Rotowire
Coach Kliff Kingsbury said Tuesday that he hopes Moore (groin) will be able to return to action Monday against the Patriots, Jose M. Romero of The Arizona Republic reports.
With the help of a Week 13 bye, Moore may miss only one game as a result of the groin injury that he suffered early in a Week 11 loss to the 49ers. That said, the Cardinals aren't required to post an injury report before Thursday, so his potential activity level won't be known until then. If Moore does enough to be available Week 14, Arizona will have its top three wide receivers, including DeAndre Hopkins and Marquise Brown, active in the same game for the first time this season.

Cardinals' Rondale Moore: Out this week
Rotowire
Moore (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
The second-year pro was injured on his second snap of the Week 11 loss to San Francisco and now has been ruled out for Arizona' final game before a Week 13 bye. Greg Dortch, who replaced Moore in the slot during Monday's loss, is listed as questionable with a thumb injury, while head coach Kliff Kingsbury said he expects Marquise Brown (foot) to be activated from injured reserve. Moore's target volume could take a hit if Brown and DeAndre Hopkins both are available by the time he's healthy again.

Cardinals' Rondale Moore: Another DNP on Thursday
Rotowire
Moore (groin) didn't participate in Thursday's walkthrough, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Despite the Cardinals not holding an actual practice so far this week, Moore wouldn't have take part if the team had due to the groin injury that forced him out of Monday's loss to the 49ers in Mexico City after two offensive snaps. Coach Kliff Kingsbury is of the belief that Moore will need "at least a week" away from the field, per Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com, so Arizona may make a ruling on his availability for a Week 12 matchup with the Chargers as soon as Friday. With Greg Dortch (thumb) also a DNP on Wednesday and Thursday and Marquise Brown (foot) uncertain to be activated from IR ahead of Sunday's game, DeAndre Hopkins, A.J. Green and Robbie Anderson currently are the healthy options at wide receiver for the Cards.

Cardinals' Rondale Moore: Sits out practice
Rotowire
Moore (groin) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Moore lasted just two plays during Monday's loss to the 49ers in Mexico City before departing due to a groin injury. Speaking to the media Wednesday, head coach Kliff Kingsbury told Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com that Moore will require "at least a week" on the sideline, so the second-year wide receiver doesn't seem like a candidate to play Sunday versus the Chargers. If that comes to pass, the Cardinals also may be without Greg Dortch (thumb), while Marquise Brown (foot) will be on a pitch count if the team activates him from injured reserve. As such, DeAndre Hopkins, A.J. Green, Robbie Anderson and Brown would make up the Arizona receiving corps.

Cardinals' Rondale Moore: Shines in Week 10 win
Rotowire
Moore caught nine of 13 targets for 94 yards in Sunday's 27-17 win over the Rams.
Despite the fact that Colt McCoy was at quarterback for the Cardinals instead of Kyler Murray (hamstring) -- or maybe because of it -- Moore set new season highs in targets, catches and yards in an impressive performance highlighted by a dazzling fourth-down grab along the sideline in the fourth quarter that helped set up Arizona's final TD of the afternoon. It's not yet clear if Murray will be back under center in Week 11, but regardless of who is throwing the ball to him, Moore will take plenty of confidence into a key NFC West battle with the 49ers.

Cardinals' Rondale Moore: Sleepers (Start/Sit)
Rotowire
Moore led the Cardinals in targets in Week 9 against Seattle with 10 and finished with eight catches for 69 yards. He now has consecutive games with at least eight targets, seven catches, 69 yards and 14 PPR points. He's doing a great job as the running mate for DeAndre Hopkins and should be started in all three-receiver leagues in Week 10 at the Rams. Moore missed the first game against the Rams in Week 3 with a hamstring injury, but Greg Dortch had nine catches for 80 yards on 10 targets in his place. Hopefully, Moore can do something similar in the rematch.

Cardinals' Rondale Moore: Tending to hand injury
Rotowire
Moore was limited by a hand injury at Wednesday's walk-through session, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Moore has been looked at early and often by quarterback Kyler Murray the last two games, with the second-year wide receiver combining for 15 catches (on 18 targets) for 161 yards and one touchdown and two carries for 12 yards. Both Moore and Murray are now tending to health concerns, with the quarterback sitting out Wednesday's session entirely due to a hamstring issue. Consequently, the statuses of both players should be monitored as the week goes on to gain clarity on whether or not the connection will continue Sunday at the Rams.

Cardinals' Rondale Moore: Leading receiver in loss
Rotowire
Moore caught eight of 10 targets for 69 yards in Sunday's 31-21 loss to the Seahawks.
The second-year wideout set a new season high in receptions while leading Arizona in receiving yards on the afternoon. Moore has seen at least eight targets in four of the last five games, giving him a solid floor heading into a Week 10 road matchup against the Rams.

Cardinals' Rondale Moore: Sleepers (Start/Sit)
Rotowire
Moore should again be a popular target for Kyler Murray, and I like Moore as a high-end No. 3 PPR receiver in Week 9. He just had his best game of the season in Week 8 at Minnesota with seven catches for 92 yards and a touchdown on eight targets, and that game proved he can co-exist with DeAndre Hopkins. Moore already faced Seattle in Week 6 and had six catches for 49 yards on 10 targets. I'm hoping for a similar amount of targets with better production this week at home.
