Darnell Mooney fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 6 (2024). Should you start or sit Darnell Mooney for fantasy football lineups?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3
ANALYSIS: Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney is coming off the best game of his season and should be viewed as a high-end WR3.
Through his first four games in Atlanta, the former Chicago Bear averaged 56.3 yards and 3.8 receptions per game with the total score. However, last Thursday, Mooney found the end zone twice and caught a season-high nine passes for 105 yards.

Since Week 2, Mooney has seen at least six targets in every game and has consistently been deployed as the No. 2 wideout in the Atlanta air attack.
Facing a weak Carolina secondary that has allowed the 26th-most points to opposing wide receivers makes Mooney a high-end WR3 with upside this weekend.

Rashod Bateman - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 14-Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman is about to get a lot more targets, according to Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson.

That didn't happen in Week […]
Devaughn Vele - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Vele's performance in Week 1 was shocking.

He played 91 percent […]

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12-Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. was expected to play an ancillary role with his team when he was signed in the offseason. Then 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) had surgery to correct his PCL issues and was ruled out for the […]
Caleb Douglas- Start or Sit?
Baller Move: Bench in standard leagues, mid-end FLEX in deeper leagues Positional Value: WR4 Analysis: One of the big mysteries in fantasy football this offseason was how the Miami Dolphins’ offense would look in 2026. Miami signed quarterback Malik Willis to a big contract in free agency, but his pass-catching group was filled with unproven […]
