Who Should I Start? Amari Cooper or Darnell Mooney

Friday, January 10, 4:15 PM

Buffalo Bills Amari Cooper (back) remains a part-time player in this offense. Since he arrived in Buffalo midseason, his highest snap share is 54%. He's been below 50% in half of his games. That leads to dreadful stat lines like one catch for 10 yards in Week 16 and the goose egg in Week 15. The veteran almost exclusively lines up outside, where he could see a lot of star Denver cornerback Pat Surtain II. At least the back issue landing him on the injury report isn't a big deal. He's fully practiced this week and doesn't have an injury designation heading into the Wild Card matchup.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney (shoulder) is officially inactive for Sunday's Week 18 contest against the Carolina Panthers. He had been listed as questionable but had an unfavorable outlook after NFL Network's Ian Rapoport noted that Mooney faced an uphill battle to suit up this weekend. His absence should lead to an increased role for Ray-Ray McCloud III, who is the overall WR54 in PPR leagues with 58 catches, 620 yards, and one touchdown through 16 games. McCloud has quietly put together the best season of his career and possesses WR3/FLEX upside in his increased role Sunday.
