Should I Start Terry McLaurin For Fantasy Football?

McLaurin is the WR45 for the year, averaging 8.6 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. After struggling over the first two weeks, the veteran wide receiver was outstanding in Week 3. He scored 18 half-point PPR fantasy points, totaling four receptions on six targets for 100 receiving yards and the game-winning touchdown.

The former Ohio State star faces an Arizona defense that has been solid at defending opposing wide receivers. They have held wide receivers to 25.5 fantasy points per game, slightly above the league average. Last week, the Cardinals held the Detroit Lions wide receivers to only 92 receiving yards and 19 fantasy points.

Fantasy players should consider McLaurin a solid mid-range WR3 in Week 4.

Should I Start Amari Cooper For Fantasy Football?

Cooper was awful over the first two weeks, scoring 2.6 half-point PPR fantasy points in both games. However, he broke out of his funk in Week 3, totaling seven receptions on 12 targets for 86 receiving yards, two touchdowns, and 24.1 fantasy points against the New York Giants.

After struggling to start the season, Cooper should keep up his hot play against the Raiders later today. Las Vegas surrendered 16 receptions for 222 receiving yards, two touchdowns, and 42.4 fantasy points to the Carolina Panthers wide receivers led by Andy Dalton last week.

Fantasy players should consider Cooper a mid-range WR2 with upside in Week 4.

Should I Start Darnell Mooney For Fantasy Football?

Mooney was one of my favorite sleeper wide receivers entering the season. He has played well after a poor Week 1, totaling 11 receptions on 15 targets for 154 receiving yards, a touchdown, and 26.9 half-point PPR fantasy points in the past two games. The veteran receiver is on track to have a career year.

The former Tulane star faces the Saints in a critical NFC South matchup today. New Orleans has done well stopping opposing wide receivers, giving up only one receiving touchdown this season.

Fantasy players should consider Mooney a solid low-end WR3 in Week 4.
