Who Should I Start? Robert Woods or Darnell Mooney

Tuesday, September 2, 9:39 PM

The Pittsburgh Steelers have released veteran wide receiver Robert Woods from their practice squad, per an announcement from the team. Woods played in 15 games for the Houston Texans in 2024, recording 20 catches for 203 yards. The 33-year-old has been a steadily productive NFL receiver for over a decade, but he could be nearing the end of the road. Pittsburgh does not have much proven wide receiver depth behind top wideout DK Metcalf, so giving up on Woods could be telling of just how little juice the veteran has left in the tank. Even if Woods signs elsewhere, he should remain off the fantasy radar in 2025.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney will look to get involved in the offense on Sunday in Berlin, Germany, after registering his third one-catch performance in his last four games last week. There isn't much working in the 28-year-old's favor, however, as he's become an afterthought with Drake London (29.5 percent), Kyle Pitts Sr. (20.7), and Bijan Robinson (19.9) gobbling up most of the targets, leaving Mooney with just 10.3 percent of the team's target share this season, which hasn't been helped by the fact that he's missed two games due to injury. On the other hand, the Colts have allowed the fourth-most passing yards per game over the last three weeks (268.7), and although they recently acquired Sauce Gardner, the 25-year-old cornerback will likely see more of Drake London, which could open things up a bit for Mooney. Be that as it may, the veteran wideout projects as only a WR4/Flex play in Week 10.
