| The top slot receiver option appears to be Skyy Moore, the second-year player who will try to replace some of the production that JuJu Smith-Schuster generated last season. Moore was one of the best performers during mandatory minicamp last month.
“Skyy’s worked real hard this offseason,” HC Andy Reid said then. “He looks like he’s on the same page with (Patrick Mahomes). He’s doing a nice job. Let’s keep on advancing as we go. He’ll do that because he’s wired right to do that.” (The Athletic - Nate Taylor)
FFToday's Take: The expectation is that Moore will start the season in the slot, although rookie Rashee Rice and/or Richie James could make it hard for him to keep the job. Travis Kelce logged more snaps in the slot (343) than any other Chief last year, including Smith-Schuster (270), although the latter was easily the team's most productive wide receiver (78-933-3). Moore is highly unlikely to match that level of production in 2023, but a primarily slot receiver in a Patrick Mahomes-led offense is worth stashing as a WR5 option late in drafts.
