Rondale Moore suffered a knee injury that will end his season.
Falcons wide receiver Rondale Moore is out for the season after suffering a knee-injury. The 4th year wide receiver has struggled to lift off in his short career.
This is a disappointing outcome for a player who was looking to benefit from a change in scenery. Just a week ago, Rondale Moore was reportedly pushing for the slot role and drawing praise from head coach Raheem Morris. Given the minor investment in Rondale Moore via a trade with Arizona Cardinals, don’t expect a big time acquisition to replace Rondale Moore.
Keep an eye on training camp reports for Casey Washington and Ray-Ray McCloud III and expect a lower tiered wide receiver to join the fold. The weapons to heavily invest in the Falcons offense remain Bijan Robinson, Drake London, and Kyle Pitts with secondary levels of exposure to running back Tyler Allgeier and second receiver Darnell Mooney.

The Cardinals secure their backup quarterback while the Falcons aim for upside acquiring wide receiver Rondale Moore.
The Atlanta Falcons have been super active in free agency acquiring quarterback Kirk Cousins and signing wide receiver Darnell Mooney. With Desmond Ridder not being a scheme and archetype fit for their new offense, the Falcons are sending Desmond Ridder to the Arizona Cardinals in exchange for wide receiver Rondale Moore.
This is a win-win real life NFL trade and a trade that could be made in your Superflex Dynasty leagues. In Desmond Ridder, the Cardinals get a quality backup who can play to some of the skillset with which Kyler Murray operates the offense, albeit to a lesser degree. For the Falcons, Rondale Moore can be utilized in the short area passing game, end-arounds, and carries from the backfield.
This trade is neither a threat to Kyler Murray or Bijan Robinson, rather it gives both the Cardinals and Falcons extra versatility in their roster construction. With the kindling of this NFL trade, you can now use this short window to include Desmond Ridder and Rondale Moore into some cross-positional Dynasty trades with larger pieces serving as the meat shield to hide your intentions.
