Arguably, the most entertaining part of the Kansas City Chiefs’ preseason has been the battle at the bottom of the receiver depth chart. With Rashee Rice now expected to begin the year on the active roster, there is only one spot with a handful of potential options. Heading into camp, it was assumed one of these slots would be won by Skyy Moore. The veteran’s experience and time in the offense offered a heavy advantage, even if things hadn’t gone as planned in recent seasons.<\/p>\n
Moore is a rare example of a pick that simply hasn’t lived up to front office expectations. The consistent lack of production and issues with drops left fans wondering what the future held for the pass catcher. It seems an answer has been found based on the results of the preseason and Moore’s continual struggles.<\/p>\n
It would be shocking to see the receiver make the final roster when you consider the far more exciting options currently offered. While the coaching staff has offered recent praise of Moore, it doesn’t change the preseason results. In the second preseason game of the year, the receiver’s faults became too glaring to continue to ignore.<\/p>\n
Twice, the quarterback delivered a perfect ball to the receiver, and the ball was fumbled away. The second time that this happened, the poor attempt at a catch easily could’ve created a turnover that wouldn’t have been on the shoulders of the quarterback. It is the perfect example of why the franchise is going to be forced to turn the page on the veteran receiver.<\/p>\n
Moore did have a nice moment in the return game, taking it all the way back for a score, showing off his speed and ability to create space. However, this carries very limited value when you cannot be relied on to actually catch the ball consistently. There simply isn’t a path to justifying the continued presence of a player that cannot be trusted.<\/p>\n
This is especially the case with Rice, expected to receive a hefty suspension at some point in the 2025 season. Kansas City’s depth is going to be tested, and it would be ideal to have it be unknown options. Not a player whose ceiling has grown frustratingly clear. Moore’s time in Kansas City is coming to an end; there simply is no other logical choice.<\/p>\n
