Who Should I Start? David Moore or Daurice Fountain

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver David Moore caught two of his three targets for 66 yards and a touchdown in the Wild Card win over the Philadelphia Eagles. The veteran, who is on his seventh team in seven years, ripped off a 44-yard catch-and-run touchdown in the first quarter to set the tone for the blowout win on Monday night. Although it was an impressive performance, he had just five receptions during the regular season, so he remains nothing more than a budget-friendly DFS option in a favorable matchup against the Detroit Lions on Sunday in the NFC Divisional Round.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Daurice Fountain has played in just eight games since entering the NFL in 2018 as a fifth-round pick out of North Iowa. He has just two receptions for 23 yards on his resume. However, the 28-year-old got first-team reps last week while third-year wideout Jameson Williams was out of action, and he made the most of his opportunities. "Fountain was one of the standouts of June's minicamp and the lanky wideout has kept the momentum into July," Jeff Risdon of the Lions Wire wrote. "When Jameson Williams wasn't practicing on Friday, Fountain stepped into some of Jamo's first-team reps and played well. His blocking and attention to detail on his routes both received audible praise from WR coach Antwan Randle El." Risdon noted that Fountain didn't have a great day on the first day of pads, but this is still noteworthy considering Fountain is largely unknown. While it would be a surprise if he's on the fantasy football radar in 2024, the team is thin at wide receiver behind superstar Amon-Ra St. Brown and the unproven Williams. He's not worth drafting in leagues of all shapes and sizes right now, but he is worth monitoring as training camp progresses.
