Who Should I Start? Tyler Lockett or Darnell Mooney

Friday, October 10, 11:26 PM

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Tyler Lockett was once considered a top wideout in the National Football League. Unfortunately, it appears those days are well behind him. In his first five games as a Titan, he's caught only seven passes (16 targets) for 52 yards. While the veteran had his first touchdown of the year in Week 5 against the Cardinals, it wasn't as a pass-catcher. Instead, it came after a wild sequence of events that included a Cam Ward interception followed by a Dadrion Taylor-Demerson fumble. With the Titans coming off a win, their first of the 2025 campaign, the team will look for another victory on Sunday versus the Raiders. Like Tennessee, Las Vegas hasn't looked good throughout the season. With that in mind, despite the favorable matchup on tap, Lockett hasn't played well enough to be classified as a starting option in any fantasy format.

Atlanta Falcons head coach Raheem Morris said that he's "feeling good" about wide receiver Darnell Mooney's (hamstring) chances of playing on Sunday Night Football in Week 7 against the San Francisco 49ers, according to D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Mooney has not played since injuring his hamstring in Week 4, but it seems there's a good chance he could make it back this weekend despite not practicing on Friday. The 27-year-old wideout was limited in practice on both Wednesday and Thursday and is officially listed as questionable to return. Mooney appears to be on the right side of questionable, but with Atlanta's game coming on Sunday night, we wouldn't recommend risking it with him in your starting lineup this weekend. The Falcons' offense looked much better in the Monday night win over the Buffalo Bills, but Mooney has a mere seven catches on 16 targets for 79 yards and no scores in his three games this year.
