Darnell Mooney Settles Into a Modest Role to Start the Season

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.

Jack Bech Aims to Boost Fantasy Stock in Week 2 vs. Chargers

Friday, September 18, 1:30 PM

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jack Bech is looking for more sneaky production in Week 2 against the Los Angeles Chargers. The WR3 on the Raiders depth chart stood out in a rather quiet receiving corps in Week 1 against the Dolphins, connecting with veteran QB Kirk Cousins for a 15-yard touchdown pass to open up the game. Cousins has to do a better job working with the receivers in Week 2 against a Chargers pass rush that allowed just 179.9 yards per game in 2025, so it's unclear how often Bech will be targeted on Sunday. However, his chances at another impressive week have increased now that star tight end Brock Bowers (knee) is doubtful to be on the field in Week 2. The second-year receiver out of TCU hasn't shown consistent production yet to start in standard fantasy leagues, but he's a viable deep-league stash while his repertoire takes shape.
