You should start looking for Moore as early as Round 10 in a PPR league. If he stays healthy, he could provide a big value at that cost. Moore took a step forward in 2022, earning eight or more targets in five of his seven healthy games. He also became a more complete receiver, lining up outside on 41.9% of his routes as opposed to 16.6% his rookie year. With DeAndre Hopkins gone, Moore has an excellent chance to be the team's No. 2 wide receiver. Still, he only played more than four games in a season once in college, and his isn't the only injury of concern because we still don't know when Kyler Murray will be ready. Moore is still just 23 years old so he's even more valuable in Dynasty leagues.
Moore secured his only target for 14 yards in Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Giants.
Moore turned in another disappointing performance in Week 2, as QB Joshua Dobbs only looked his way once in the contest. The third-year wideout has yet to see enough volume to sustain fantasy relevance in the Cardinals' below average passing attack. Nonetheless, Moore will look to get more involved going forward as Dobbs becomes more familiar with the offense. Things won't get much easier in Week 3, however, as the Cardinals are set to host the Cowboys and their formidable defense.

Cardinals' Rondale Moore: Three catches in loss
Rotowire
Moore caught three of three targets for 33 yards and gained 12 rushing yards on two carries in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Commanders.
Arizona's offense couldn't get much going -- the team's only TD was produced by the defense on a second-quarter fumble recovery -- which gave Moore few opportunities to showcase his speed, but he did have the team's longest gain of the day with a 31-yard reception in the first quarter. As QB Joshua Dobbs gets more familiar with the playbook, things could open up a little for the Cardinals' wideouts, but this still figures to be one of the least potent passing games in the NFL this season. Moore will try to make a bigger impact in Week 2 against the Giants.

Cardinals' Rondale Moore: Three touches in preseason loss
Rotowire
Moore brought in two of three targets for seven yards and rushed once for three yards in the Cardinals' 38-10 preseason loss to the Chiefs on Saturday night.
Moore opened the game with the rest of the Cardinals' starters and got some solid work in before exiting. The promising third-year wideout is aiming for a much healthier season in 2023 after being limited to eight games a year ago, and the Cardinals are counting on Moore to help fill the significant vacuum created by the departure of DeAndre Hopkins during the coming campaign.

Cardinals' Rondale Moore: Logs catch in return
Rotowire
Moore (groin/finger) made a successful recovery from multiple surgeries this offseason and caught one of two targets for 13 yards in Friday's preseason win over Denver.
Moore's return to action was a welcomed one for the Cardinals, who have been decimated by injury in recent years. So their fans got some positive news ahead of Week 1 for once. From a fantasy perspective, almost all key receivers should be downgraded when Colt McCoy starts in place of Kyler Murray. DeAndre Hopkins' departure opened up a heap of targets, so Moore and fellow starter Marquise Brown (undisclosed) could experience noticeable bumps in volume/usage this season.

Cardinals' Rondale Moore: Participates in minicamp
Rotowire
Moore (groin) participated in voluntary veteran minicamp at the end of April, the Cardinals' official site reports.
Moore underwent surgeries on his core and pinky finger after the Cardinals placed him on injured reserve in mid-December. He's at least 3-to-4 months removed from the procedures at this point and should be ready for the more substantiative portion of the offseason program between mid-May and mid-June. With DeAndre Hopkins and Marquise Brown still on Arizona's roster, Moore seemingly fits in as the No. 3 receiver ahead of his age-23 season. The 2021 second-round pick took on a larger role per-game last year, averaging seven targets in his eight games en route to a 41-141-1 receiving line and 5.5 average depth of target. As a rookie in 2021l, Moore averaged 4.6 targets and 1.3 carries for 36.5 yards per game while seeing 61 percent of his passes behind the line of scrimmage (1.4 aDOT).

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: 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.

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: 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.
