Who Should I Start? Darnell Mooney or Cedric Tillman

Saturday, September 13, 10:47 AM

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney (shoulder) was a full participant in practice on Friday after being limited earlier in the week, and heads into Sunday night's matchup with the Vikings without an injury designation. The 27-year-old should slide back into his role as No. 2 receiver behind Drake London (shoulder), who also practiced fully on Friday. Mooney owned a solid 21.3 percent target share last season with the same receiving corps, although much of that was with Kirk Cousins under center. In the two games he played with Michael Penix Jr. at the helm, Mooney's target share dropped to 17.7 percent. Going up against a tough run defense, the Falcons may prefer to attack Minnesota through the air, but with plenty of receiving options at their disposal and Mooney potentially getting eased back into action, the sixth-year pro should be viewed as a high-end WR4/Flex play in Week 2 with some slight upside in PPR formats.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman continued to show a nose for the end zone in his team's lopsided Week 2 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Tillman was mostly quiet, but he salvaged his afternoon with a fluky 18-yard touchdown grab to finish with a two-catch, 22-yard line in the loss. The veteran wideout has now scored in each of his two games to open the season, as he has carved out fantasy value as a flex/WR4 type in leagues. Tillman will hope to keep it going in a tough Week 3 home matchup against the Green Bay Packers, but fantasy managers might want to temper expectations due to the difficult matchup.
