Who Should I Start? Darnell Mooney or Keon Coleman

Sunday, January 4, 11:54 AM

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney (knee) is officially active for Sunday's Week 18 contest against the New Orleans Saints. He had been listed as questionable after logging back-to-back limited practices. The 28-year-old has failed to meet expectations while occupying the No. 2 wide receiver role for most of this season. He has played 81.8% of the offensive snaps when healthy but has a modest stat line of 29 catches, 423 yards, and one touchdown. Mooney finds himself buried in the pecking order behind Drake London and Kyle Pitts Sr. As a result, we expect him to remain off the fantasy radar against the Saints on Sunday. He can be benched in most leagues.

Buffalo Bills owner Terry Pegula pinned the selection of wide receiver Keon Coleman in the 2024 draft on the coaching staff and said that general manager Brandon Beane was "being a team player," and that Coleman wasn't at the top of Beane's list at the time, according to Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic. Buffalo fired head coach Sean McDermott on Monday and promoted Beane to president of football operations. The Bills drafted Coleman in the second round in 2024 out of Florida State, and he's been a bust in his two seasons with the team, catching 67 of 116 targets for 970 yards and eight touchdowns in 26 games. Not only has his production been a disappointment, but he has also dealt with maturity issues and has been suspended by the team for his actions off the field, which include arriving late to a team meeting. With McDermott now gone, that doesn't bode well for Coleman being able to turn things around in Year 3.
