Who Should I Start? Willie Snead or Darnell Mooney

Saturday, November 11, 7:03 PM

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Willie Snead IV has been elevated from the practice squad ahead of the Week 10 matchup versus the Jacksonville Jaguars. The veteran wideout has made two appearances for the 49ers this season. During that span, Snead has been held to one catch for nine yards in 2023. He is mainly being elevated as depth for the 49ers. It's unlikely that Snead sees heavy involvement in the offense. That being said, fantasy managers can avoid Snead ahead of this Week 10 matchup.

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.
