Skyy Moore's trade to the San Francisco 49ers presents a unique opportunity for both the player and the team. With Brandon Aiyuk sidelined until at least October due to knee injuries, and Jauan Jennings facing a calf injury and contract issues, Moore steps into a depleted wide receiver room.
Moore, a 5'10", 195 lbs slot/flanker hybrid, is expected to fill a critical role in Kyle Shanahan's dynamic offense. Known for his quick feet and short-area burst, Moore could thrive in a scheme that emphasizes creating separation through design, potentially masking his struggles with contested catches.
Projected to see his highest snap rate since entering the league, Moore could achieve 35–50 receptions and 350–600 yards in 2025 if he capitalizes on the WR2/WR3 role. This makes him a low-risk, high-reward fantasy option, particularly in deeper leagues or as a waiver wire target.
In terms of contract, Moore is in the final year of his rookie deal, carrying a modest $1.51 million base salary, making him a financially savvy acquisition for the 49ers. The trade involved a 2027 late-round pick swap, reflecting the low-cost nature of this gamble for San Francisco.
