4. Skyy Moore - WR

Assuming that Justyn Ross makes the team and Kadarius Toney does not, the final receiver spot could come down to Skyy Moore and Nikko Remigio.

Both players have been active on punt returns during camp, though Remigio saw significantly more work in the first preseason game and has drawn major praise from Matt Nagy and the coaching staff. They've said positive things about Moore as well but said praise was not nearly as effusive.

Remigio did muff a punt on Saturday and had the ball ripped out of his hands on a catch that should've been a defensive TD if not for a botched call from the refs. Those mistakes opened the door for Moore to steal his roster spot back, but it's coming down to the wire no matter how you look at it.

The 2022 second-round pick's inability to separate and make contested catches at the NFL level has made him one of the most frustrating players on the roster for Chiefs fans. It wouldn't be a stunner to see the team keep him regardless, but it's far from a sure thing.

Moore has to perform well in the final preseason games or he'll be a casualty on cut day.
