Billy Jones cautioned drafters against chasing Darnell Mooney at his current WR45 price, calling 2023 a likely "pinnacle season" that will be hard to replicate. Mooney posted career-best marks in yards per route run (2.08) and red-zone target share (18%) while benefiting from a 65% slot snap rate that may shrink now that Atlanta signed Rondale Moore. Jones added that the switch to left-handed quarterback Michael Penix Jr. could alter Mooney’s release side and timing—something the receiver struggled with when the Bears briefly rotated in southpaw Tyson Bagent two years ago. Expecting natural target regression and acknowledging you are "buying high," Jones advised treating Mooney as a panic pick only when you miss on the Shahid-Mims-Bateman tier rather than forcing him inside the top-100.

Pat Fantasy Dog Pound said Matthew Stafford is being drafted far too late for the combination of safety and upside he offers in BBM6. Stafford routinely lasts until the QB22-QB24 range even though, as Pat noted, his "bench risk is basically zero"—the Rams have no competition behind him and he just logged a 3.9% big-time-throw rate despite playing through multiple finger injuries. The tout emphasized that best-ball players are willing to spend first- and third-round capital on Puka Nacua and Drake London, yet are ignoring the quarterback who will funnel them targets. With a Week-17 dome matchup against Atlanta that profiles as fast-paced (both teams finished top-8 in neutral-situation seconds per snap last year), Pat believes Stafford can supply several 25-point spike weeks and is a cheap anchor for three-QB builds. He recommends scooping the veteran two rounds ahead of ADP whenever you have Puka, London or Devante Adams exposure to lock up a unique late-season game stack.
