Denarius Moore returned to Oakland Raiders practice Thursday, Steve Corkran of the Contra Costa Times reports. Moore has been sidelined since Aug. 4 with an aggravated hamstring injury. There is no word yet on his status for Monday night's game against the San Diego Chargers.

Analysis: If Moore has a shot at playing against the Chargers, it's a good thing the game is on Monday to give him an extra day of rehab. Even if he can play, there's a good chance he will be limited, however. Jacoby Ford has not returned to practice while dealing with a foot injury, leaving the door open for rookies Rod Streater and Juron Criner to make an impact. Either would be risky fantasy options even if Moore and Ford are out. Moore's fantasy prospects are excellent when healthy, though you may want to wait a week or two before moving him into your starting lineup.
