Darnell Mooney News
Tuesday, September 15, 8:05 PM
New York Giants wide receiver Darnell Mooney found himself occupying a modest role during Week 1 against the Dallas Cowboys. It wasn't a small role by any means, but it also wasn't enough to prompt fantasy managers to scramble and place a waiver claim for him. Mooney played 57% of the snaps in the season opener, catching two passes for 27 yards. He was nestled into the No. 3 spot on the depth chart behind Malik Nabers and Malachi Fields. Given the youth and upside of those two receivers, Mooney is unlikely to pass either of them in the pecking order. In fact, he needs to continue producing at a decent level to fend off any sort of competition from Odell Beckham Jr. Mooney didn't handle enough snaps or targets in Week 1 to suggest that he should be a fantasy starter, but he's still a fine player to target on the waiver wire in deeper leagues with 14+ teams.

Isaac TeSlaa News
Wednesday, September 16, 4:55 PM
Detroit Lions wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa's 2026 season got off to an underwhelming start in his team's Week 1 win over the New Orleans Saints, as he was targeted just once and finished the game with zero catches. On the bright side, TeSlaa was on the field for 68% of Detroit's offensive snaps against the Saints and profiles as the clear WR3 in his team's offense. However, as long as Lions wideouts Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams and tight end Sam LaPorta are all healthy, TeSlaa's path to fantasy relevance appears to be blocked. The Lions may be forced to throw the ball at a high rate in Week 2 against the Buffalo Bills, which could open up some more chances for TeSlaa. Still, the 24-year-old went catchless in a Week 1 game where Lions quarterback Jared Goff attempted 39 passes. TeSlaa should remain off the radar of fantasy managers in Week 2.
