Who Should I Start? Darnell Mooney or Chase Brown

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney was one of the breakout players of the 2024 season, recording 64 catches for 992 yards and five touchdowns across 16 games. However, the 28-year-old has not been able to recreate his standout performance in his second year with the team. Across seven games in 2025, Mooney has just 13 catches for 190 yards and zero touchdowns on 35 targets. Injuries have been a factor, as he missed most of training camp with a broken collarbone and recently missed time due to a hamstring issue. However, Mooney has struggled when on the field as well. He hauled in just one of eight targets for 17 yards in Atlanta's Week 10 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. Heading into a Week 11 matchup against the Carolina Panthers, Mooney remains virtually impossible for fantasy managers to trust.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown is looking to build off a strong performance he had as a receiver in Week 9. Brown hauled in eight of his 14 targets for 75 yards during their loss to the Chicago Bears. The 25-year-old struggled with only 37 yards on the ground, but the eight receptions helped save his fantasy value. The Bengals had a bye week this past weekend, but head into a matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 11. Brown rushed for over 100 yards during their last matchup in Week 7. The Bengals are going to be without Samaje Perine (ankle) for a few weeks. That being said, Brown figures to see almost all the work in the backfield. He played 96 percent of the offensive snaps during the loss to the Bears. Brown should be a focal point in this offense going forward.
