Who Should I Start? DeVante Parker or Darnell Mooney

Monday, May 20, 8:11 PM

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVante Parker announced his retirement on Monday evening. The 31-year-old, who signed with the Eagles in March, was once one of the NFL's most promising wideouts. He spent most of his career in Miami, where he had the best season of his career in 2019 by amassing 1,202 yards and nine touchdowns off 72 receptions. Parker spent a few more years in Miami before suiting up for the Patriots over the last two seasons. However, he was nowhere near as productive as he was in 2019, so New England released him. The 31-year-old will finish his NFL career by totaling 690 catches for 5,660 yards and 27 touchdowns.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney (hamstring) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins. Mooney was able to play in Week 7 after not practicing on Friday of last week, so his limited participation in practice every day this week is a positive sign for his chances to suit up in Week 8. It also appears that veteran Kirk Cousins will be the starting QB for the Falcons on Sunday, with Michael Penix Jr. (knee) recovering from a bone bruise. It's been a quiet season for the 27-year-old wideout when he has played this season, catching 10 of 21 targets for 147 yards in four games. In 14 games with Cousins last season, Mooney averaged almost seven targets per game, posting four receptions for 62 yards on average to go with five total touchdowns. He's ranked as RotoBaller's WR36 in PPR for Week 8, making him a solid flex play in a good matchup.
