BALLER MOVE: Start in 12-Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3
ANALYSIS: Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney rates as a high-end WR3 play heading into this week's home matchup against the Seattle Seahawks.
Mooney is coming off a disappointing Week 6 game against Carolina, catching three of his five targets for 38 yards, but that was the first time he's failed to hit the 50-yard plateau since Week 1. Mooney has been a consistent presence for the Falcons.

He's had shown some explosiveness. In Week 5 against Tampa, Mooney was targeted 16 times, catching nine passes for 105 yards and two touchdowns. Not only does he have a relatively high floor, but his ceiling is massive in the right matchup.
Additionally, Mooney has played over 93% of Atlanta's offensive snaps in every game. He's locked in as a key part of this Kirk Cousins-led passing attack and should be treated as such by fantasy managers.
Fantasy managers should confidently start Mooney as a WR3 with upside in Week 7.
