CeeDee Lamb vs Darnell Mooney: The Full Breakdown
Two wide receivers who will land on plenty of the same rosters in 2026. CeeDee Lamb (Dallas Cowboys) finished the 2025 season averaging 12.6 fantasy points per game in 13 games. Darnell Mooney (Atlanta Falcons) came in at 7.5 PPG over 15 games. The gap is real but not insurmountable with the right matchup.
CeeDee Lamb carries a 5.1-point PPG advantage from the 2025 season. That baseline matters, but it is one input among several. Matchup difficulty, scoring trends, and injury reports move the needle week to week, which is why the best answer changes depending on when you are asking.
Target volume is the story here. CeeDee Lamb saw 117 targets in 2025, while Darnell Mooney drew 78. That workload gap usually translates into a higher weekly floor for CeeDee Lamb, even in weeks where Darnell Mooney posts the bigger ceiling game. Consistency-minded managers lean toward target share; boom-bust managers chase the upside.
CeeDee Lamb has his bye in Week 14, and Darnell Mooney rests in Week 12. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at wide receiver for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
