Who Should I Start? Darnell Mooney or Jameson Williams

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney was one of the breakout players of the 2024 season, recording 64 catches for 992 yards and five touchdowns across 16 games. However, the 28-year-old has not been able to recreate his standout performance in his second year with the team. Across seven games in 2025, Mooney has just 13 catches for 190 yards and zero touchdowns on 35 targets. Injuries have been a factor, as he missed most of training camp with a broken collarbone and recently missed time due to a hamstring issue. However, Mooney has struggled when on the field as well. He hauled in just one of eight targets for 17 yards in Atlanta's Week 10 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. Heading into a Week 11 matchup against the Carolina Panthers, Mooney remains virtually impossible for fantasy managers to trust.

Through nine games this season, Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams has recorded 27 catches for 474 yards and four touchdowns on 43 targets. Encouragingly for his fantasy outlook, the majority of the 24-year-old's production has come in recent weeks. Williams has now recorded at least six targets, 66 receiving yards, and a touchdown in three out of his last four games, including a season-high 119 receiving yards in Week 10 against the Washington Commanders. Williams and the Lions will face a much tougher test in Week 11 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Through 10 weeks, Philadelphia has allowed the ninth-fewest passing yards (1,979) in the NFL, and they are tied with the Denver Broncos for the fewest passing touchdowns allowed (eight). However, the Lions will be without tight end Sam LaPorta (back). That could lead to a few extra targets for Williams, particularly if Detroit is chasing points. Williams still has bust potential, but he profiles as a solid fantasy WR3 in Week 11.
