The Kansas City Chiefs’ wide receiver room will have a lot of competition as the team narrows down its 53-man roster. Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy and Hollywood Brown have seemingly locked up the top-three spots.

Kansas City will likely carry six receivers, leaving just three roster spots to be fought for between Jalen Royals, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Skyy Moore, Nikko Remigio, Tyquan Thornton, and undrafted free agent Elijah Badger.

Given Royals’ recent draft status as a fourth-round selection, he likely has a bit more job security than the rest of the group, realistically leaving two roster spots for five players.

According to Arrowhead Addict’s Stacy D. Smith, this situation does not bode well for Moore. What Moore has going for him is experience, aside from Smith-Schuster, Moore is the most experienced receiver on the roster, and has the most familiarity with Andy Reid’s offense.

“The bad news is that Smith-Schuster is the clear favorite to claim one of the remaining spots, and the final WR6 role will likely go to a player who can contribute on special teams.” Smith wrote. “If Smith-Schuster secures his spot, that gives a notable edge to third-year receiver Nikko Remigio.”

Smith does point out that a rookie running back – Brashard Smith – may handle the special teams load, allowing Moore to maintain his roster position.

“Fortunately for Moore, his chances could improve with the addition of undrafted running back Brashard Smith, who logged 58 returns during his college career at Miami and SMU.” Smith noted. “If Smith secures the return specialist role, it could put Nikko Remigio’s roster spot in jeopardy, given he has just two career receptions in the Chiefs’ offense.”

Moore’s 2024 season was cut short by a core muscle injury that resulted in him being placed on injured reserve in October. Moore played in just six games with three targets, and no receptions.

Even when healthy, Moore hasn’t been overly productive as a receiver. In his first two NFL seasons, Moore has tallied 250 and 244 receiving yards, respectively, with only one career touchdown. Moorehad a small stint as a return man during his rookie season, returning 14 punts for 86 yards and three kicks for 50 yards.
