Darnell Mooney's Fantasy Value Has Hit Rock Bottom

Wednesday, November 11, 6:46 AM

New York Giants wide receiver Darnell Mooney has had a pretty quiet season after back-to-back seasons with 70-plus targets in Atlanta. In his first nine weeks with the Giants, he has earned 29 targets, hauled in 12 for 167 yards, and has no touchdowns. With the rise of rookie Malachi Fields over the past few weeks, who has seen his snap share increase to over 70 percent in each of the past four games, and the breakout of Isaiah Likely, to go along with superstar Malik Nabers getting most of the attention and targets, Mooney has seen his value tumble even more than it was earlier in the season. This season, he is now the WR100 and should be dropped in all formats; at 29 years old, he doesn't have much value even in fantasy. Fantasy managers should look elsewhere for wide receiver depth.

Khalil Shakir Gaining Steam Entering Vikings Game

Sunday, November 8, 5:03 AM

Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir got off to a slow start to the season but is starting to heat up as Buffalo faces off against a challenging Minnesota Vikings pass defense in Week 9. Shakir started the season with just eight receptions in his first three games, but over his last four contests, he has totaled 19 receptions for 260 yards and a touchdown. Shakir will now take on a Vikings secondary that has limited its opponents to a league-best -0.28 EPA per pass, according to Next Gen Stats. Last week against the Detroit Lions, Minnesota limited Detroit's shifty receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown to an average of just 6.6 yards per reception. Shakir is RotoBaller's 45th-ranked wide receiver and is projected to score eight fantasy points against the Vikings.
