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.
