Your 7th receiver is not going to see regular rotation on the field unless there are injuries. I bet Moore's offensive snaps are significantly less (barring major injuries).

Skyy Moore is the worst WR I have ever seen. Stop white knighting for him, he ****ing sucks. There is nothing to be gained by having a braindead reerun out there who can't get open, can't catch, can't run routes, can't be counted on for fielding punts and can't even do the thing he's apparently 'elite' at which is blocking (lol).

We do now, because Brown is injured. It really is 6, and two of those are going to be on ST's. You know you have to have guys who are willing to play on ST's right?

I like the kid and he deserves a roster spot based on what we have seen. There is a role for him, but let's slow the roll on feature back talk for someone that can barely outrun our QB.

Contrary to popular belief you don't need to have a fast 40 to be a good RB

Where did I say he was great? Was Kemp a great receiver? No, we kept him for ST's, that is why I think they are keeping Skyy right now. He is on coverage and return teams.

I’d consider keeping Cornell Powell over Skyy Less… that’s how bad he is.

Zero dropped passes!

Sure, but the claim was he had the same speed as Johnson, and that just isn't the case.

The only thong with Skyy is he's actually had a great NFL game before (Chargers road game his rookie year) where he operated primarily in the slot where he belongs. Toney or Ross never showed that level in a KC Jersey sadly so that's the only silver lining I can find where Skyy is concerned. If he finds that form again he can be decent I think but we'll see.

News flash dude. He sucks at that too. One play over 18 months ago doesn't change that.

Translation: Skyy is on the team because of how he looks in a thong.

A piece of cool news today: Undrafted free agent Chris Roland-Wallace has made the Chiefs' initial 53-player roster, per source.

He played corner at Arizona and USC before moving to safety with Chiefs during offseason program. Great story.https://t.co/UqwIJpPIgX

Again Skyy is and should not be considered in our regular WR rotation. My points are you keep guys for ST's too and he has the experience there to justify him over these other guys.

I fully expect his offensive roles to be greatly diminished...they already were at the end of last year and rightfully so.

5 catches for 63 yards.
