Chris Moore's fantasy role in Week 2
Chris Moore goes into Week 2 of the 2026 season as a deep-league WR flyer for the BAL. He is rostered in 0% of leagues and actually started in 0% of them, and we rank him WR93 on our own weekly board at 4.7 projected points.
Roster rates are steady week over week, so his role looks settled rather than in flux.
No injury designation to work around right now, which keeps his projection honest.
Week 2 matchup breakdown
The matchup: vs NO. Our Pepper Meter heat rating for this spot is 1 out of 5, which is how we grade the combination of role, projection and opponent difficulty.
Against a typical starting WR baseline of 10 points, his 4.7-point projection is 5.3 points short. That gap is the whole start/sit argument in one number.
How to play it
Sit Chris Moore in Week 2 if you have a real alternative — 4.7 projected points lands 5.3 under the WR starter line.
If you are deciding between him and another WR, compare projections first, then lean on the Pepper Meter heat rating as the tiebreaker.
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Chris Moore (BAL WR), our WR93 this week for Week 2 of the 2026 NFL season vs NO, projecting 4.7 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. 4.7 points is roughly 53% short of the WR baseline, and I rank on output, not name recognition. Facing NO in front of his own crowd, the script reads neutral to friendly, not scary. The Pepper Meter cools him to Mild, and that reading is doing its job.
