Few NFL players have seen the type of jump in expectations that Kansas City’s second-year wideout Skyy Moore has this offseason.
Thanks to a breakout showing in the Chiefs’ Super Bowl run last season, where the 22-year-old Michigan native hauled in 22 receptions for 250 yards, Moore has seen interest spike in his virtual services entering the 2023 NFL season.
With the regular season coming soon and Kansas sports betting and fantasy leagues kicking off, BetKansas.com looked at which wide receivers are catching hype for the 2023 season.
Utilizing FantasyPros.com’s NFL Rankings, we gathered the Top 100 returning WRs in points per reception (PPR) rankings for the 2023 season. We then utilized FantasyData.com’s NFL Final Rankings to find the final rankings of WRs in PPR for the 2022 season.
Subtracting the WR Rankings from 2023 by the WR Rankings from 2022, we came up with the biggest jumps for WRs in fantasy football.

Moore Will Be Valuable Among Fantasy WRs
Of the NFL’s receivers, Moore’s standing rose the most when it came to his fantasy football rankings — going from the 121st ranked wide receiver at the end of last year to the 52nd spot in PPR’s preseason rankings.
Most of that came from Moore’s strong showing in the playoffs, going from five catches for 17 yards and a touchdown in the regular season to 250 yards in the team’s three postseason games.
It’s part of the reason Patrick Mahomes NFL MVP odds are also the best in the NFL at +600.
Leaguewide, Moore’s jump among wideouts was ahead of other big movers, such as Cleveland wideout Elijah Moore (+38 spots), Khalil Shakir of Buffalo (+37 spots) and Deebo Samuel in San Francisco (+17 spots).
Moore wound up being the only AFC West wide receiver to crack the top 10 leaguewide.
Kansas City plays its second preseason game Saturday at 7 p.m. against Arizona. The Chiefs are 7.5-point favorites at BetMGM Kansas.
