Moore (abdomen) was not activated off injured reserve on Saturday and has been ruled out for Super Bowl LIX against the Eagles on Sunday, per the NFL's transaction report.
Moore was able to practice in a limited fashion this week, but he was unable to progress enough in his recovery from an abdominal injury to be activated off IR. Moore will finish the 2024 campaign having played just six regular-season games without recording a catch.

Chiefs' Skyy Moore: Officially doubtful for Super Bowl
Rotowire
Moore (abdomen), who remains on IR, was limited in practice Friday and is officially listed as doubtful for Super Bowl LIX against the Eagles on Sunday.
Moore doesn't appear likely to be activated to the 53-man roster from IR in time to contribute in the Super Bowl against Philadelphia on Sunday. The 2022 second-round pick didn't record a catch on three targets across his six regular-season appearances in 2024.

Chiefs' Skyy Moore: Listed as doubtful for Super Bowl
Rotowire
Moore (abdomen) was limited in Friday's practice and is officially listed as doubtful for Super Bowl LIX against the Eagles on Feb. 9.
Moore has logged two limited practice sessions since being designated for return from IR, but he's trending in the wrong direction to be able to contribute versus Philadelphia in the Super Bowl. The Chiefs will host one more week of practices prior to deciding Moore's status, so it's possible he could still be activated to the 53-man roster if he can impress in his remaining opportunities.

Chiefs' Skyy Moore: Practice window opens Thursday
Rotowire
The Chiefs designated Moore (abdomen) to return from injured reserve Thursday, Jesse Newell of The Kansas City Star reports.
Moore was placed on injured reserve Oct. 24 due to a core-muscle injury. He wasn't expected to return for the postseason, but Kansas City opted to open the 2022 second-round pick's 21-day practice window. He was spotted working out with the returners during Thursday's practice and was officially listed as a limited participant. If Moore is able to log full practices next week, he could be activated to the Chiefs' 53-man roster for Super Bowl LIX against the Eagles on Sunday, Feb. 9.

Chiefs' Skyy Moore: Not expected to return in postseason
Rotowire
Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said Monday that there's no return plan for Moore (abdomen) in the postseason, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.
Moore has been on IR since late October due to a core-muscle injury. While Reid said Monday that fellow wideout Mecole Hardman (knee) has a chance of returning at some point in the playoffs, that doesn't appear to be the case for Moore. As such, it's likely that the third-year wideout's campaign will come to an end with Moore having logged no catches on three targets over six games.

Chiefs' Skyy Moore: Lands on IR
Rotowire
The Chiefs placed Moore on injured reserve Thursday due to a core-muscle injury.
Moore joins fellow wideouts Hollywood Brown (shoulder) and Rashee Rice (knee) on IR, with the move occurring on the same day that DeAndre Hopkins was officially traded to the Chiefs. The soonest Moore can return to game action is Nov. 24 against the Panthers, but it's unclear if he'll be ready to go by then. Head coach Andy Reid said that the receiver's injury will "need to get fixed," implying that Moore will soon get surgery, per Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com. Prior to his placement on IR, the 2022 second-round pick did not record a catch on three targets over six games.

Chiefs' Skyy Moore: Fails to make impact Week 1
Rotowire
Moore played 10 offensive snaps (19 percent) but was not targeted in the Chiefs' 27-20 win over the Ravens on Thursday night.
Moore wasn't able to record any offensive statistics in Kansas City's season-opener. Rookie first-round pick Xavier Worthy logging a two-TD debut effectively curtails any lingering hope that Moore will have a late breakout, especially once Marquise Brown (shoulder) manages to get healthy. With Rashee Rice, Worthy and Brown all available, Moore may not end up being active on game days.

Chiefs' Skyy Moore: Needs to earn spot on roster
Rotowire
Moore isn't a lock to make the 2024 roster, according to ESPN's Adam Teicher.
The 2022 second-round pick has averaged 1.4 catches for 16.5 yards through 30 regular-season games, mostly serving as Kansas City's fourth or fifth wide receiver. It won't be surprising if Moore ends up earning a depth job again, though his fate partially depends on how things play out with the 2024 NFL Draft, Rashee Rice's legal situation, and Kadarius Toney's health, among other factors. Rice and free-agent signing Marquise Brown figure to play a lot when available, though neither can exactly be called reliable. Even so, Moore's lack of playing time and production through two seasons suggests he's not the most likely beneficiary in the event things go south for one of the team's starters. Kansas City seems optimistic about Toney and Justin Watson and might devote an early draft pick to the position.

Chiefs' Skyy Moore: Logs full practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Moore (knee) was a full practice participant Wednesday.
After the Chiefs activated him from injured reserve earlier in the day, Moore handled every on-field rep after being contained to three limited practices during the first week of Super Bowl LVIII prep. It remains to be seen to what extent the team incorporates Moore into the offense Sunday against the 49ers, but in three of five games before sustaining a swollen knee Week 15, he logged at least a 49 percent snap share.

Chiefs' Skyy Moore: Questionable after first week of SB prep
Rotowire
Moore (knee) was limited at Friday's practice and is listed as questionable after the first week of prep for Super Bowl LVIII against the 49ers.
The Chiefs placed Moore on injured reserve after Week 15 due to a swollen knee, which so far has sidelined him for six consecutive contests. Because the team designated him for return from IR on Jan. 17, a decision to activate him will need to take place by Wednesday, and there's no telling if he's done enough to get back on the active roster after being listed as limited on all three practice reports this week. If he does, Moore should retain a small role in a Kansas City receiving corps with modest options behind No. 1 Rashee Rice on Sunday, Feb. 11.

Chiefs' Skyy Moore: Listed as limited
Rotowire
Moore (knee) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report.
Moore last played Week 15 and was designated for return from injured reserve Jan. 17. The Chiefs will need to activate him from IR by Feb. 7 in order for him to be eligible to play in the Super Bowl matchup with the 49ers on Feb. 11. Even if that happens, Moore might not have much of a role. He played just 35 and 25 percent of snaps in his final two games before landing on IR, and he hasn't seen more than three targets in a game since Week 6.

Chiefs' Skyy Moore: Won't play Sunday
Rotowire
Moore (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Ravens.
Moore, who was designated to return from injured reserve Jan. 17, didn't practice at all this week and will thus target a potential return to action Feb. 11 should the Chiefs advance to the Super Bowl. Prior to suffering his knee injury, Moore had logged 21 catches on 38 targets for 244 yards and a touchdown in 14 regular-season contests.

Chiefs' Skyy Moore: Reels in all three targets
Rotowire
Moore gathered in all three targets for 34 yards during Sunday's 31-17 victory over the Raiders.
Moore hadn't tallied more than a pair of catches in a game since Week 3 and hasn't finished with more receiving yards since then, either. That said, neither his receptions nor receiving yards are particularly impressive from a fantasy standpoint. The second-year wideout hasn't found pay dirt since Week 2 and can safely remain on the waiver wire in most formats.

Chiefs' Skyy Moore: Snares one pass versus Eagles
Rotowire
Moore had one reception (on two targets) for four yards during Monday's 21-17 defeat against the Eagles.
Moore hasn't hauled in more than two passes since Week 3 and turned in his lowest receiving total since Week 4's goose egg Monday night. He also has outputs of 11, 15 and eight yards among his last five contests, so there's little to get excited about regarding the second-year wideout's fantasy prospects. He did, at least, see an uptick in playing time again, logging 51 percent of the offensive snaps after logging just 23 percent last time out, but he hasn't drawn more than three targets in any of the last four games.

Chiefs' Skyy Moore: Playing time drops in Week 9
Rotowire
Moore caught two of three targets for 33 yards during Sunday's 21-14 victory versus the Dolphins.
Moore logged just 25 percent of the offensive snaps for the Chiefs in Week 9, his lowest percentage of the season. His stat line falls on par with previous weeks, with his two grabs matching his output in three of the previous four games, but he did finish with his highest receiving yardage total since Week 3 against the Bears. Regardless, there's little to get excited about surrounding the second-year wideout's fantasy prospects the rest of the way.

Chiefs' Skyy Moore: Continues to disappoint
Rotowire
Moore had two receptions (on three targets) for 15 yards during Sunday's 31-17 victory over the Chargers.
While Moore ranked second on the team in terms of snaps among Chiefs wideouts Sunday, he turned in just two catches for the third straight game and hasn't drawn more than four targets since Week 3. Rookie Rashee Rice has outperformed the second-year wideout on a weekly basis and has drawn 20 targets to Moore's 11 over the past four games, so things seem to be trending in different directions for the two young wideouts.

Chiefs' Skyy Moore: Snares two passes in Week 5
Rotowire
Moore caught all two targets for 11 yards during Sunday's 27-20 victory over the Vikings.
Moore's production is a slight upgrade from the empty outing in the receptions column last week, though he also tallied a pair of rushes for 19 yards against the Jets. Either way, Moore reverted to being a fantasy dud after a couple of promising outings in Weeks 2 and 3, when he combined for seven catches for 112 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets. Until there is an upswing in the second-year wideout's production, he can be left on the bench or waiver wire in most formats.

Chiefs' Skyy Moore: Sleepers (Start/Sit)
Rotowire
Moore finally did something of significance in Week 2 at Jacksonville with three catches for 70 yards and a touchdown on four targets. It's not enough to make him a must-start receiver in the majority of leagues, but it's a start and hopefully something he can build on. And this week, Moore gets a great matchup against the Bears, who have allowed the opposing No. 1 receiver -- Romeo Doubs in Week 1 and Mike Evans in Week 2 -- to score at least 18.6 PPR points in each of the first two games. Moore likely won't accomplish that level of production, but he could benefit if Kadarius Toney (hamstring) is hurt. I would use Moore as a No. 3 Fantasy receiver in Week 3.

Chiefs' Skyy Moore: Sleepers (Start/Sit)
Rotowire
We're waiting to find out the status for Travis Kelce (knee), but if he's out against the Lions then Moore could have a big game. Even if Kelce plays then I would still start Moore as at least a No. 3 Fantasy receiver in all leagues. He is going to get plenty of attention from Patrick Mahomes this season, starting this week, and Moore has the potential for plenty of production each week. I also wouldn't worry about Kadarius Toney (knee) this week if he plays because I expect his snaps to be limited in his return to action.

Chiefs' Skyy Moore: Starts preseason opener
Rotowire
Moore started but was not targeted in limited action during Sunday's 26-24 preseason-opening loss to the Saints.
Moore began the game alongside Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Justin Watson in Kansas City's first-team offense. However, with superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes featuring for just one drive, Moore too was withdrawn early on, allowing rookie Rashee Rice and Justyn Ross more opportunities. Coming off just 22 catches last season, Moore -- a 2022 second-rounder -- could grow in importance in the buildup to the upcoming campaign, as fellow wideout Kadarius Toney (knee) is likely out for the preseason.
