Who Should I Start? Darnell Mooney or Josh Palmer

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney led the team with seven targets in Sunday's 31-26 win over the Buccaneers, hauling in five of them for 92 yards and a touchdown. The 26-year-old recorded six or more targets for the sixth time in eight games, giving him a reliable role in this offense, and now has four touchdowns on the year -- although three of them have now come at the expense of the Tampa secondary. The former fifth-round draft pick will take on a Dallas defense that has had trouble slowing teams down lately, so Mooney likely profiles as a WR3 heading into Week 9.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer made two long plays in a Week 8 win over the New Orleans Saints. Palmer was targeted four times, making two catches for 72 yards. He made one grab for 45 yards and the other for 27. While he wasn't as involved as expected, he made the most out of the two catches he was able to secure, finishing second on the team in receiving yards despite being just fourth in catches and targets. With rookie Ladd McConkey establishing himself as quarterback Justin Herbert's favorite target, Palmer is shaping up to be more of a boom-or-bust type of fantasy receiver. The Chargers offense could look different once Quentin Johnston (ankle) and D.J. Chark (groin) return to the field, but Palmer should continue to have a role.
