Oakland Raiders receiver Denarius Moore will not play against the Cowboys on Thanksgiving. He was ruled out on Wednesday due to a shoulder injury and will miss his second game in a row.
Denarius Moore injury update: Raiders WR ruled out, Rod Streater is decent fantasy play

Moore doesn’t have a timetable to return and he could miss more games. The Oakland Raiders could be without him for the rest of the season since he was in some pain last week, but that’s all speculation.
Rod Streater will get the start and should be solid for the Raiders. The Dallas Cowboys are really banged up and will miss two of their best defenders. Linebacker Sean Lee and cornerback Morris Claiborne will not play, so Streater and the Raiders should be able to score some points.
Fantasy impact: Streater is going to lead the team in targets and with Matt McGloin running the show, they could look to pass the ball a little more. He should be viewed as a high-upside WR3 in standard leagues and a decent WR3 in PPR formats with the possibility of catching more than eight balls. Owners can cut Moore, if they want.
