Who Should I Start? Brandon Aiyuk or Darnell Mooney

Thursday, September 21, 7:13 PM

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (shoulder) is officially inactive for the Thursday night game against the New York Giants. Aiyuk suffered a shoulder injury in the Week 2 win over the Los Angeles Rams, but he avoided a broken collarbone after undergoing a CT scan on Monday. The good news is that this doesn't appear to be a long-term injury for Aiyuk, but the Niners aren't going to put him in harm's way on a short week early in the season. For now, fantasy managers should consider him questionable to play in Week 4 against the Arizona Cardinals. In his absence on Thursday night, Deebo Samuel and George Kittle should see more targets, while Jauan Jennings and rookie Ronnie Bell will compete for No. 3 duties in San Fran.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney (knee) was a full participant during the team's practice on Friday. Mooney was banged up in the Bears loss to the Buccaneers in Week 2 and failed to record a catch in the game. He has been listed as a limited participant all week but all signs point toward Mooney playing this Sunday. The talented receiver posted 53 yards with one touchdown in Week 1 and has shown a solid rapport with quarterback Justin Fields in the past. But the Bears offense has looked terrible through the first two games and Mooney is not fantasy playable at this time.
