Who Should I Start? Darnell Mooney or Elijah Moore

Tuesday, November 28, 11:04 AM

Chicago Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney faced another unproductive outing in Week 12, securing just two catches on three targets for a mere six yards in the team's narrow 12-10 victory over the Vikings. Despite an 81% snap share, the 26-year-old struggled to leave a mark, extending his streak to three consecutive games with less than five PPR points. Throughout the season, he has only reached double-digit fantasy points twice. Over the last three games, Mooney has managed just five catches on eight targets, diminishing his value across most fantasy formats. Despite the improved passing attack with Justin Fields at the helm, Mooney remains overshadowed by DJ Moore and Cole Kmet in the offensive hierarchy. As the Bears enter their bye week in Week 13 before facing the Lions in Week 14 who allow the seventh-most points per game to receivers Mooney's fantasy outlook remains uncertain, urging managers to reevaluate his role on their rosters.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Elijah Moore caught three of his nine targets for 44 yards and lost a fumble in a 29-12 loss to the Denver Broncos in Week 12. Moore's nine targets tied for the team lead but he was very inefficient while drawing passes from Dorian Thompson-Robinson and P.J. Walker in the contest. His fumble came early in the fourth quarter in Cleveland territory and led to a Denver touchdown that pushed their lead to 23-12. Moore has seen at least seven targets in each of his past three games but he only has 148 receiving yards to show for it. He will be a flex option in Week 13 against the Los Angeles Rams.
