Moore limited to one catch Moore limited to one catch Updated 1/3/2010
Mewelde Moore, RB PIT
News: Steelers RB Mewelde Moore was held to one 8-yard catch in a Week 17 win at Miami. Analysis: Moore spent most of 2009 as the third-string RB in Pittsburgh, but could head into 2010 as the main backup behind Rashard Mendenhall if Willie Parker leaves as expected. Moore iwll only be worth drafting in deeper leagues as a handcuff to Mendenhall, however.
Moore has one carry Sunday Moore has one carry Sunday Updated 12/27/2009
Mewelde Moore, RB PIT
News: Steeler RB Mewelde Moore had one carry for minus-2 yards Sunday against Baltimore. Analysis: Moore is the No. 3 RB for the Steelers behind Rashard Mendenhall and Willie Parker. He should not be used in Week 17 at Miami.
M. Moore finally back in end zone M. Moore finally back in end zone Updated 12/20/2009
Mewelde Moore, RB PIT
News: Steelers RB Mewelde Moore caught three passes for 25 yards Week 15 against the Packers, scoring on a 10-yard pass in the second quarter. The touchdown was his second of the season and first since Week 4 against the Chargers. Analysis: Moore has just one carry over his last three games, but he's still good for a few catches. Still, he doesn't figure to steal enough touches from Rashard Mendenhall to make an impact in Fantasy. Leave him on waivers for Week 16 against the Ravens.
Moore held without a stat Week 14 Moore held without a stat Week 14 Updated 12/11/2009
Mewelde Moore, RB PIT
News: Steelers RB Mewelde Moore did not record a stat on Thursday in a Week 14 loss at Cleveland. It was the first time all season that he was held completely off the stat sheet. Moore did however return three kicks and fair caught a punt. Analysis: Moore typically only gets a few carries per game alongside Willie Parker, with both players backing up starter Rashard Mendenhall. Moore is not a recommended Fantasy option for Week 15 against Green Bay.
Moore totals 13 yards Week 13 Moore totals 13 yards Week 13 Updated 12/6/2009
Mewelde Moore, RB PIT
News: Pittsburgh RB Mewelde Moore rushed once for 7 yards in the Week 13 loss to Oakland. Moore added one catch for 6 yards. Analysis: Moore only gets a few carries per game alongside Willie Parker behind Rashard Mendenhall in Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh plays at Cleveland in Week 14. Do not use Moore in that game.
Moore does little Moore does little Updated 11/30/2009
Mewelde Moore, RB PIT
News: Steelers backup RB Mewelde Moore had 2 yards on four carries at Baltimore in Week 12. Analysis: Moore is nothing more than a third-down back who only saw extended carries this week because the Steelers opted to run more. He's unlikely to produce enough stats to warrant Fantasy use going forward.
Moore not much of a factor Moore not much of a factor Updated 11/22/2009
Mewelde Moore, RB PIT
News: Steelers RB Mewelde Moore carried twice in Week 11 at Kansas City, totaling just 1 yard. He did not have any catches in the game. Analysis: Moore is not in a situation on the depth chart where the team is going to be giving him many carries. Until that changes, he is not worth activating in Fantasy.
Moore has 35 total yards Moore has 35 total yards Updated 11/15/2009
Mewelde Moore, RB PIT
News: Steelers RB Mewelde Moore had two carries for 21 yards and caught two passes for 14 yards Sunday against the Bengals. Analysis: Moore is the No. 3 RB for the Steelers behind Rashard Mendenhall and Willie Parker. Don't plan on using Moore in Week 11 at Kansas City.
Moore goes for 18 late yards Moore goes for 18 late yards Updated 11/9/2009
Mewelde Moore, RB PIT
News: Pittsburgh RB Mewelde Moore rushed four times late in the Monday night win over Denver in Week 9. Moore totaled 18 yards and had a long carry of 12. Analysis: Moore has just 89 rushing yards on 25 carries this season for the Steelers. With Rashard Mendenhall playing so well and Willie Parker not playing at all, it seems Moore's role is that of a handcuff for Mendenhall. He has no other Fantasy value at this time and doesn't need to be used Week 10 against the Bengals.
Moore worth a shot in Week 9? Moore worth a shot in Week 9? Updated 11/5/2009
Mewelde Moore, RB PIT
News: The Steelers visit Denver in Week 9, and Pittsburgh RB Mewelde Moore will try to contribute for his few Fantasy owners against the league's third-ranked run defense. Analysis: Moore has zero catches in his last two games and is slipping down the Fantasy RB rankings. Only use him as a low-end flex option or bye-week replacement in Week 9.
Moore does his work rushing Moore does his work rushing Updated 10/25/2009
Mewelde Moore, RB PIT
News: Steelers RB Mewelde Moore had 14 yards on four carries with no catches in Week 7 vs. the Vikings. Moore was used as the feature back in the fourth quarter, which is what they did the week before against the Browns. Analysis: Moore and the Steelers are on bye in Week 8 and play in Week 9 at Denver. Moore remains nothing more than a bye-week replacement option in the deepest of PPR leagues.
Moore gets five touches in Week 6 Moore gets five touches in Week 6 Updated 10/18/2009
Mewelde Moore, RB PIT
News: Steelers RB Rashard Mendenhall rushed 17 times for 62 yards in Week 6 against Cleveland to lead all rushers. He scored a 2-yard touchdown in the third quarter, but he also lost a fumble in the game. Mendhenhall also caught two passes for 15 yards. Willie Parker rushed seven times for 26 yards and caught one pass for nine yards. Mewelde Moore rushed five times for 20 yards. Analysis: Despite the presence of Parker, it was Mendhenhall who shouldered the load in Week 6. It appears the Steelers are ready to move forward with Mendenhall as their featured back and Parker will likely be looking at a lot of performances similar to what he saw on Sunday. While Mendenhall is healthy, Parker will be a low-end Fantasy option. The Steelers will face a very tough run defense in Week 7 against Minnesota, which makes Parker a player to sit in all leagues. Moore is only worth stashing in larger formats.
Moore to do more in Week 6? Moore to do more in Week 6? Updated 10/16/2009
Mewelde Moore, RB PIT
News: Steelers RB Mewelde Moore isn't expected to start Week 6 against the Browns, but he might find some playing time anyway. Second-year running back Rashard Mendenhall is ill and might not play, leaving Willie Parker to start. And, the matchup is against the Browns, which means Moore might see carries in the second half if the game is a blowout. Analysis: Moore is a speed rusher with great hands to catch passes out of the backfield, and we think Ben Roethisberger likes to throw to him. Essentially, Moore would be in play as a flex option in deeper leagues if Mendenhall misses Week 6. If you're desperate for a running back, consider adding Moore off of waivers.
Moore limited against Lions Moore limited against Lions Updated 10/11/2009
Mewelde Moore, RB PIT
News: Pittsburgh RB Mewelde Moore rushed twice for 8 yards in a Week 5 win over the Lions. Moore also caught three passes for 20 yards. Analysis: Moore only has 37 rushing yards on the season for the Steelers and he's just a backup behind Rashard Mendenhall and Willie Parker, when he's healthy. Moore barely gets carries when Parker isn't healthy so his Fantasy value is extremely limited. He does have 14 catches for 100 yards and a touchdown, but that isn't enough to consider using him in Fantasy for Week 6 at home against Cleveland.
Moore facing favorable matchup Moore facing favorable matchup Updated 10/9/2009
Mewelde Moore, RB PIT
News: Steelers RB Mewelde Moore will face a favorable matchup in Week 5 at Detroit against the Lions. The Lions rank 20th against the run, allowing an average of 121.2 yards per game. They have allowed four rushing touchdowns in four games. Analysis: Moore only ran the ball twice for 2 yards vs. the Chargers in Week 4, but he caught three passes for 31 yards with a touchdown and threw a touchdown pass. He continued to see limited playing time even with Willie Parker out with a toe injury thanks to RB Rashard Mendenhall's breakout performance. Parker is unlikely to play in Week 5 and we expect Mendhenhall to see the majority of the touches, but Moore does have some outside value in deeper formats where an injury or bye week replacement option may be needed thanks to what appears to be a favorable matchup. If the Steelers go up early, they should run the ball often in the second half.
RB Moore catches TD, throws TD RB Moore catches TD, throws TD Updated 10/5/2009
Mewelde Moore, RB PIT
News: The bad news for Mewelde Moore is that he only ran the ball twice for 2 yards vs. the Chargers in Week 4. The good news? He caught three passes for 31 yards with a touchdown and threw a touchdown to TE Heath Miller from 6 yards out. Moore continued to see limited playing time even with Willie Parker out with a toe injury thanks to RB Rashard Mendenhall slamming the Chargers on 29 carries. Analysis: Moore continues to show his trademark versatility, the kind of stuff that makes him worth owning as a reserve Fantasy RB. He should be up for another decent outing at Detroit in Week 5, though we doubt that he'll throw many touchdown passes for the rest of the season. Consider him as a low-end bye-week replacement option for Week 5.
Moore to see more touches Week 4 Moore to see more touches Week 4 Updated 10/4/2009
Mewelde Moore, RB PIT
News: Pittsburgh named RB Rashard Mendenhall the starter on Sunday night against San Diego with Willie Parker inactive. Backup RB Mewelde Moore will also see increased touches. Analysis: Moore becomes an instant sleeper since he has tremendous value as a receiver out of the backfield. He should be a decent low-end start in PPR leagues.
Report: Parker ruled out Sunday Report: Parker ruled out Sunday Updated 10/4/2009
Mewelde Moore, RB PIT
News: The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that the Steelers on Sunday determined that RB Willie Parker will not be able to play against San Diego because of turf toe. Rashard Mendenhall will start against the Chargers, and the Steelers will use Mewelde Moore and Carey Davis as part of the rotation. Analysis: Keep Parker reserved in all leagues for Week 4 against the Chargers. Remember, this is just a report, and inactives have not been released yet by the team. But since Parker did not practice all week, all signs point to him missing the game. Mendenhall should be considered a No. 3 Fantasy option, and Moore becomes an instant sleeper since he has tremendous value as a receiver out of the backfield. Ignore Davis in all formats.
Moore climbs depth chart for Week 4 Moore climbs depth chart for Week 4 Updated 10/2/2009
Mewelde Moore, RB PIT
News: Steelers RB Willie Parker (toe) missed practice Friday and is now listed as doubtful for Week 4 against San Diego on the injury report. Parker has not practiced all week. Typically, if a player does not practice Friday, he does not play on Sunday. Rashard Mendenhall is likely to start in his place. Mewelde Moore should also see a good amount of touches. Analysis: Parker has good history against the Chargers, but now it will be Rashard Mendenhall and Mewelde Moore who will share Parker's reps against a Chargers run defense that not only ranks low this year but was destroyed by the Steelers' run game (via Parker) twice last year. Look for Mendenhall to work the rushing downs and Moore to work the passing downs as well as be on the field when the Steelers go to the no-huddle offense. Both backup RBs are good replacements for Parker, as are waiver-wire gems Glen Coffee, Tashard Choice and even Jerome Harrison if you're in a league where receptions count.
M. Moore could see some reps M. Moore could see some reps Updated 10/2/2009
Mewelde Moore, RB PIT
News: After sitting out a third straight practice on Friday, Steelers RB Willie Parker isn't expected to play vs. the Chargers on Sunday as he battles turf toe. Typically if a player doesn't practice by Friday, he's not expected to play by Sunday. Rashard Mendenhall and Mewelde Moore would share Parker's reps against a Chargers run defense that not only ranks low this year but was destroyed by the Steelers' run game (via Parker) twice last year. Analysis: We'll keep you posted on the latest with Parker, but you can probably expect him to miss the team's Week 4 game, which is bad considering his history against the Chargers. Look for Mendenhall to work the rushing downs and Moore to work the passing downs as well as be on the field when the Steelers go to the no-huddle offense. Both backup RBs are good replacements for Parker.
