Should You Start or Sit Mooney in Week 11?
This is getting ugly quickly, and I’m running out of patience.
Over the past three weeks, Mooney has turned 99 routes into three receptions, a rate that is almost difficult to comprehend. His 13.9-yard aDOT over that stretch introduces variance, but for 14 targets to turn into 43 yards is something that isn’t in the range of outcomes for rosterable players.
The Falcons haven’t had a WR2 step up next to Drake London, and at the rate he is making plays in traffic, I’m not sure there’s a need for it. With Kyle Pitts averaging 7.8 targets per game over the past month and Bijan Robinson checking in at just under 20 touches per game (six targets), Mooney is on the outside looking in at my top 45 receivers moving forward.
This isn’t a bad matchup, and there was a big DPI flag that he caused last week on what was lining up to be an end zone target, so if you want to hold for one more week, I’ll allow it.
But that’s as long a leash as I’ll give.
