Who Should I Start? Keenan Allen or Darnell Mooney

Wednesday, November 29, 7:30 PM

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (quadriceps) didn't practice on Wednesday. The wideout is having a career year, totaling 97 catches for 1,117 yards and seven touchdowns. At this rate, he's on pace to easily surpass his career highs in all those categories, so he's a must-start in all fantasy formats in Week 13 versus the Patriots if he suits up. He may simply be getting a day off for maintenance reasons, meaning his status for Thursday's session may paint a better picture regarding his availability.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney faced another unproductive outing in Week 12, securing just two catches on three targets for a mere six yards in the team's narrow 12-10 victory over the Vikings. Despite an 81% snap share, the 26-year-old struggled to leave a mark, extending his streak to three consecutive games with less than five PPR points. Throughout the season, he has only reached double-digit fantasy points twice. Over the last three games, Mooney has managed just five catches on eight targets, diminishing his value across most fantasy formats. Despite the improved passing attack with Justin Fields at the helm, Mooney remains overshadowed by DJ Moore and Cole Kmet in the offensive hierarchy. As the Bears enter their bye week in Week 13 before facing the Lions in Week 14 who allow the seventh-most points per game to receivers Mooney's fantasy outlook remains uncertain, urging managers to reevaluate his role on their rosters.
