Who Should I Start? Sterling Shepard or Darnell Mooney

Friday, November 22, 5:04 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Sterling Shepard was quiet during the Week 10 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. The veteran wideout hauled in one of his three targets for seven yards. Shepard has seen increased snaps lately with the Bucs shorthanded at wideout. However, Shepard could see his role in the offense decrease with Mike Evans (hamstring) likely to return against the New York Giants this weekend. Shepard hasn't offered much value all season and it's unlikely to go up now. Fantasy managers should look elsewhere for help ahead of Week 12.

The early prognosis on Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney (hamstring) is that the hamstring injury he suffered in the Week 11 blowout loss to the Denver Broncos on Sunday is not serious, according to a source. Mooney could go for some testing on Monday, but the 27-year-old's injury comes at a good time with the Falcons heading into their bye in Week 12. Barring a setback with his hamstring once he resumes practicing, Mooney should have a good shot to be available for the team's Week 13 game on Dec. 1 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Before leaving on Sunday, Mooney caught two of four targets for only 27 yards on a day in which the Broncos defense completely shut down Atlanta's offense. Things probably won't get any easier for Mooney and the Falcons offense coming out of their bye in Week 13 against a stout Chargers D.
