Who Should I Start? Tyrie Cleveland or Darnell Mooney

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Tyrie Cleveland (head, neck) was carted off the field during Thursday's preseason matchup versus the Browns. Luckily, the update wasn't as bad as expected, with the wideout officially diagnosed with a concussion and sprained neck. He's expected to make a full recovery. Cleveland has appeared in 23 games during his career, all in Denver, amassing just eight catches for 91 yards. He signed with the Eagles during the offseason, but he'll need to scratch and claw to make the active roster for Week 1, assuming he's healthy by then.

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.
