Who Should I Start? Darnell Mooney or Ja'Marr Chase

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney underwhelmed last week with his opportunity to produce while the team's top receiver, Drake London (knee), was out with an injury, catching just two of his five targets for 25 scoreless yards. It would be misguided to expect the same production as London out of Mooney, though, as the latter is more of a downfield threat and is five inches shorter, which tends to limit his effectiveness in the red zone. Nevertheless, the 28-year-old will have another opportunity to produce in Week 14 at home against the Seahawks, with London once again ruled out. Seattle has allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers for the season and is yielding just 152.7 yards per game through the air over their last three games. Combined with Kirk Cousins' propensity to spread the ball around, Mooney sets up as a low-end WR3 in Week 14.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase didn't find the end zone in the win over the Ravens in Week 13. However, the wideout still finished with seven catches for 110 yards while being targeted 14 times. Tee Higgins (concussion) wasn't available for that one, so Chase had to pick up most of the slack in Joe Burrow's first game in over two months. With Higgins back for the Week 14 showdown with the Buffalo Bills, the 25-year-old will presumably see less attention on the receiving end. Still, there should be more than enough opportunities for Chase to finish as a top fantasy producer in a contest that could feature plenty of offense from both sides, assuming the weather in Buffalo cooperates.
