Skyy Moore Fantasy Football Outlook for Week 1

As per FantasyPros, Skyy Moore had an ADP of 116 heading into this season. With Travis Kelce possibly missing the game, and Kadarius Toney still easing his way back from injury, the stage is set for Moore to dominate against a questionable defensive unit.

The game is expected to be a high-scoring one, and given how great Patrick Mahomes has always been to start the season, Skyy Moore can certainly score a touchdown and have a big game.

In his last game for the Chiefs, the 22-year-old wide receiver scored a touchdown in the Super Bowl against the Philadelphia Eagles, and he will be confident heading into this game.

Toney, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Justin Watson, and Justyn Ross could have big games as well. This will be year two for Moore in the NFL, and being a second-round pick, the Chiefs expect him to step up.

This is the perfect opportunity for him to show his worth to the franchise, and Chiefs fans will be hoping he has a big game.
