Who Should I Start? Jordan Love or Darnell Mooney

Friday, October 17, 5:14 PM

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love is currently outside of the top 12 as fantasy football's QB13 and should be considered as such for Week 7 as the Packers square off with the Arizona Cardinals. Love came back down to earth in Week 6, with a meager 19-of-26 passing line, with a touchdown and an interception against the Cincinnati Bengals. With such a porous Bengals' defense, the hope was that Love could exploit a team in the bottom ten of fantasy defenses through the air. Love now faces the Cardinals in Week 7, who give up the 11th-fewest fantasy points per game to quarterbacks. With a low fantasy points ceiling, Love is merely a streaming fantasy quarterback option.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney (hamstring) is officially active for Sunday night's contest against the San Francisco 49ers. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction ahead of kickoff. Indeed, Mooney will suit up for his first game since Week 4. The 27-year-old has appeared in just three games during an injury-riddled 2025 campaign, catching seven passes for 79 yards. Mooney came up just shy of 1,000 yards last season, and there was plenty of optimism about his upside this year following a full offseason with Michael Penix Jr. as his starter. However, injuries have ruined that optimism, and it would now take a miracle for Mooney to come close to 1,000 yards again. He does still have WR3/flex upside, but it'll be tough for managers to justify starting him until he can produce consistently.
