Oakland Raiders WR Denarius Moore has missed nearly all of training camp with a hamstring injury that's been nagging him since July. The Raiders have been taking it easy with his recovery, though the Contra Costa Times indicates he should be ready by Week 1. He is expected to recover ahead of Jacoby Ford, who's been wearing a walking boot this week.
WR Denarius Moore Still On Track For Week 1: Fantasy Implications
The Raiders hope Denarius Moore will be ready for Week 1. We break down the fantasy implications.
Analysis: With both Moore and Ford out, the Raiders' WR depth is a sudden question mark behind Darrius Howard-Bey. An additional concern for Moore is the time missed learning new offensive coordinator Greg Knapp's system and developing a rapport with QB Carson Palmer. Moore emerged as a fantasy sleeper last year after scoring 5 touchdowns and 18.7 yards per reception, but his injury issues have bumped him from a WR3 to a late-round flier at best. Proceed with caution here.
