Who Should I Start? Nick Westbrook-Ikhine or Darnell Mooney

Thursday, December 21, 9:38 AM

The Tennessee Titans announced that wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine (hand) is being placed on season-ending injured reserve with a hand injury. He will wrap up the campaign with 28 catches for 370 yards with three touchdowns. Tennessee signed linebacker Garret Wallow off of Houston's practice squad to fill his spot. Westbrook-Ikhine essentially operated as the WR2 for the majority of the season with Treylon Burks missing chunks of time with various ailments. The 26-year-old will be a free agent when the offseason arrives.

Free-agent wide receiver Darnell Mooney is joining the Atlanta Falcons on a three-year $39 million deal, reported by NFL insider Ian Rapoport. The 2020 fifth-round pick out of Tulane posted 81 receptions for 1,055 yards and four touchdowns with Andy Dalton and a rookie Justin Fields as his primary quarterbacks in 2021, but he has not matched the production since. In 2022 and 2023 combined, he totaled 71 receptions for 907 yards and three touchdowns. However, he's now set to play with the best quarterback of his career, as Atlanta secured Kirk Cousins on a four-year deal on Monday. Mooney figures to be behind Drake London and Kyle Pitts in the target pecking order, but Cousins has supported up to three, and sometimes four, fantasy-relevant pass-catchers in a single season. Mooney is now on the fantasy radar and could hold flex value in 2024.
