Darnell Mooney On Course To Play In Week 3

Friday, September 22, 9:01 PM

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.

George Pickens A Low-End WR2 In Week 4

Thursday, September 28, 2:53 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens will be facing the Houston Texans in Week 4. After teammate Diontae Johnson (hamstring) went down in Week 1, it was thought that the Steelers' pass game would revolve around Pickens. Pickens did have a productive Week 2, with 127 receiving yards and a touchdown, but that line came on just four receptions. The second-year wideout had another four catches in Week 3 for 75 yards. The Texans have yet to allow a wide receiver to cross the 100-yard mark this season, and through the first three weeks have given up just one touchdown to the position. Pickens should be in starting lineups in Week 4 due to his role as Pittsburgh's top pass catcher, and he should put up WR2/3 numbers against Houston.
