Denarius Moore caught one pass for a five-yard touchdown in the Raiders' Week 17 loss to the Chargers.
Moore couldn't get on the same page as spot-starter Terrelle Pryor. It caps a season that saw him struggle with drops and effectiveness late in the season. During his first seven games, Moore averaged 69.3 yards per game and scored four touchdowns. Over his final eight games, he averaged 32.0 yards and scored three times. Moore will return as a bounce-back WR3 candidate in 2013. Sun, Dec 30, 2012 07:56:00 PM

Denarius Moore was held to 12 yards on three receptions, seeing seven targets, as the Raiders fell to Carolina in Week 16.

Although much of it has to do with a struggling passing attack, Moore has been a late-season enigma after flirting with legit low-end WR1 value around midseason. Moore has historically burned the Chargers' slow-footed cornerbacks, however, and will have a chance to finish fast in Week 17 at San Diego.

Denarius Moore hauled in five passes for 46 yards versus the Chiefs in Week 15.

Moore had a good shot at a long touchdown, but Carson Palmer underthrew him just in front of the goal line. While his eight targets led the team, Moore was once again outproduced by Rod Streater. He's a high-risk WR3 option against a tough Panthers pass defense in Week 16.

Denarius Moore caught just four passes for 43 yards in Oakland's Week 14 loss to Denver.

Moore caught four of his six targets but couldn't do much with them after-the-catch. He hasn't topped four catches in a game since Week 8, and despite being known as a big-play receiver, has gone over 71 yards just three times this season. Couple that with his Week 13 benching for performance-based reasons, and Moore is no more than a shaky WR3 on a weekly basis. The Chiefs are up next, and Moore did burn them for 96 yards and a score on five catches in Week 8.

The San Francisco Chronicle confirms that Denarius Moore will start Thursday versus the Broncos after his temporary benching in Week 13.

Moore was given a wake-up call by coach Dennis Allen after dropping a couple of passes. According to Pro Football Focus, Moore's eight drops are tied for the seventh-most among wide receivers this season. Likely to see plenty of Champ Bailey this week, Moore is a shaky WR3 option.

Raiders coach Dennis Allen explained that he benched Denarius Moore late in Sunday's loss to Cleveland for dropping passes.

Moore was benched for rookie Rod Streater, who finished with three catches for 96 yards and a touchdown. "Yeah, took him out there at the end," Allen said of Moore. "Dropped a couple balls, and we got to make plays when you’ve got opportunities. Both those guys. It wasn’t from a lack of effort, but we’ve got to make plays when we’ve got an opportunity."

Denarius Moore caught just two passes for 31 yards in Week 13 versus the Browns before being benched for "performance reasons" later on in the loss.

Moore was targeted eight times on the day, but he had one completion knocked out of his hands and then just blatantly dropped another later on. Both catches would have gained over 20 yards each. Moore has reeled in just four passes total in the last three weeks. With a quarter of the season left, Moore is on pace to haul in 51 passes for 865 yards and eight touchdowns. He'll be a very shaky WR3 this Thursday night against Champ Bailey and the Broncos.

According to Weather.com, the conditions for Sunday's Browns-Raiders game in Oakland shouldn't be as fierce as initially feared.

The forecast for the start of the game is 62 degrees with a 60 percent chance of precipitation and 10MPH winds. We don't get overly concerned about winds unless they're at least 20MPH. Rain may be a factor at times, but it appears it will be intermittent. Joe Haden's coverage and the Raiders' recent inability to get the ball consistently to Denarius Moore are bigger concerns for Moore's Week 13 fantasy outlook than light winds and some rain.

Denarius Moore caught one ball for a 20-yard touchdown in the Raiders' Week 12 loss to the Bengals.

Moore now has just two catches in his last eight quarters of action. The touchdown was a pretty play as Carson Palmer avoided a blitz to find Moore, who had Bengals top CB Leon Hall beaten down the middle, but otherwise Oakland's best receiver was silent. Moore finished with four targets. He should be downgraded to high-end WR3 when the Raiders host Joe Haden's Browns in Week 13.

Denarius Moore has been removed from the Raiders' Week 12 injury report.

Moore was limited in Wednesday's practice with a hamstring injury, but returned fully on Thursday and will be all systems go for Sunday's Bengals tilt.

Denarius Moore was limited in Wednesday's practice with a hamstring injury, but coach Dennis Allen says it's "not a big issue."

It always catches our attention when Moore's hamstring flares up, but it would be more worrisome had he been held out altogether. For now, there's no reason not to take Allen at his word. Moore will be worth monitoring the next two days, but owners can expect him to be ready to roll for Sunday until they hear otherwise.

Carson Palmer blamed miscommunications for Denarius Moore's one catch on seven targets in Week 11.

Other than drawing a pass interference call in the end zone, Moore was a complete non-factor. On three of his targets, Moore appeared to break the opposite way Carson Palmer thought he would. "I need to do a better job of getting on the same page with him -- see things the way he sees them," Palmer said. The quarterback added that he plans on sitting down with his No. 1 wideout and going over the film this week.

Denarius Moore caught just one pass for nine yards in Oakland's Week 11 loss to the Saints.

Moore was targeted seven times on the day, but Carson Palmer had accuracy issues throughout the contest. The seven targets were second only to TE Brandon Myers, so it's not like there weren't opportunities to be had. Moore has a juicy matchup with a slow Bengals secondary in Week 12. It will also be Palmer's return to Cincinnati, so we know he's going to want to show well.

Denarius Moore caught four balls for 90 yards and a touchdown as the Raiders fell to the Ravens in Week 10.

He was targeted eight times, second to only RB Marcel Reece on the Raiders. Moore caught a 30-yard touchdown bomb, blowing by Ravens RCB Cary Williams for the long score, and has been on an absolute tear over his last seven games. He'll be an easy top-15 fantasy receiver play in Week 11 against New Orleans.

Denarius Moore was limited to 66 yards on four receptions in the Raiders' Week 9 loss to the Bucs.

The Buccaneers were unwilling to concede the perimeter passing game, and Moore didn't help himself with a drop down the middle of a would-be long gain. 23-year-old Moore is still learning how to be a No. 1 NFL receiver, and the Raiders won't stop feeding him like one. Through eight games, Moore is on pace for 62 receptions, 970 yards, and eight touchdowns. The catches and yardage, in particular, are sure to rise in the season's second half.
