He may just be the classic "5 o'clock hitter" and that's been enough to keep him in the lineup with nobody behind him really pushing him out of the way.
If anyone has a better option, I'm all ears. Because it can't be "well he's a good blocker" because all it takes for a WR to be a 'good' blocker is to kinda get in the way. And all that means is you're a willing blocker. But I don't think there's a dime's worth of difference between a 'good' blocker that's trying hard and a 'bad' blocker that's trying hard. Not at WR.
And to be completely honest, I've seen enough instances of Moore NOT trying hard to suggest that this is another 'Clark sets the edge' scenario. The close cousin of Nichol's Law of Catcher Defense. "Well he sure as shit isn't catching passes so he MUST be blocking well or why else would he be out there?"

The only explanation I have after watching the all-22 is he is a good blocker and his snaps is almost entirely plays where he knows he will be blocking, literally, that's his roll this week on all but 4-5 snaps. Runs or quickhitters. That why I hope Ritchie J will start taking more of his snaps now, as the Chiefs have appeared to give up on him in the passing game, but we will still see him on runs, nows and screens.
