Should You Start or Sit Darnell Mooney in Week 7?
The Falcons have tweaked how Mooney was used during his final season with the Bears, and they’ve had some good success in doing so (pace: 77 catches for 1,041 yards and 8.5 touchdowns), landing the WR2 on the Flex radar more often than not.
If Atlanta can be more consistent with the target type for Mooney, he could end up flirting with top-25 status in a given week. But that’s not yet the case — he has three games with under 40 air yards and three with over 115. That said, if you’ve been riding the roller coaster, I’d continue doing it in this spot.
Seattle’s defense thrived against the bottom-feeders of the league to open the season, but since Week 3, they have the second-highest passer rating allowed (121.4, for reference, which is 11.1 points higher than the NFL’s top-rated QB up to this point).
