Darnell Mooney - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Logs two catches vs. LAR Mooney caught two passes (on three targets) for 35 yards during the Falcons' 27-24 win over the Rams on Monday.

Impact Mooney made a crucial 13-yard grab on third down to keep the Falcons' offensive drive alive, ultimately ending with a four-yard touchdown pass from Kirk Cousins to Bijan Robinson. Mooney added a 22-yard catch late in the third quarter but was not targeted by Cousins again, resulting in a two-catch performance for a second consecutive week. Mooney has caught three passes or less in 13 of 14 regular-season games and has seen five targets or more in just six of those contests. The sixth-year wideout will take a 29-423-1 receiving line (on 65 targets) into Sunday's regular-season finale against the Saints.

Records two catches in win Mooney caught both of his targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 26-19 win over the Cardinals.

Impact Mooney played 54 of the Falcons' 77 offensive snaps Sunday, the most of any Atlanta wide receiver in the contest. Despite leading the the receiving corps in snaps, the veteran wideout continued his streak of underwhelming performances. In 13 appearances, Mooney has recorded just 27 catches for 388 yards and a touchdown. The 28-year-old will remain difficult to trust for significant fantasy production heading into a Week 17 matchup against the Rams.

Makes three catches vs. Buccaneers Mooney secured three of six targets for 35 yards during Thursday's 29-28 win over Tampa Bay.

Impact Mooney played 92 offensive snaps with Drake London (knee) sidelined again, but he was outpaced in the receiving game by all of Kyle Pitts (11-166-1) Bijan Robinson (8-82-0) and Davis Sills (6-78-0). Across 12 regular-season appearances so far, Mooney has surpassed 50 receiving yards on just two occasions. He'll remain difficult to trust for fantasy purposes in Week 16 on the road against Arizona, even if London is unavailable again.

Held to one grab Sunday Mooney caught one of four targets for six yards in Sunday's 37-9 loss to the Seahawks.

Impact Even with Drake London (knee) out of action again, Mooney couldn't get anything going against Seattle's tough defense, as tight end Kyle Pitts wound up leading Atlanta in all receiving categories. In the three games London has missed, Mooney's managed just a 6-105-1 line on 12 targets, making him little more than a dart throw for fantasy purposes in Week 15 against the Buccaneers, whether London is healthy or not.

Five targets in London's absence Mooney caught two of five targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Jets.

Impact Mooney led all Falcons wide receivers in targets but finished third on the team in that category behind Kyle Pitts (eight) and Bijan Robinson (seven) as Atlanta played without top wide receiver Drake London (knee) for a second consecutive game. Mooney had 74 yards and a touchdown in the first game London missed, but that performance was fueled by a 49-yard touchdown catch. If London remains sidelined in Week 14, Mooney would likely remain the de facto top wide receiver for the Falcons against Seattle's talented secondary.

Rips off long TD Sunday Mooney had three receptions on as many targets for 74 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Saints.

Impact Mooney turned in his best fantasy score this season after breaking off a 49-yard touchdown reception in the fourth quarter to put the game out of reach for New Orleans. The big scoring play helps explain the outburst in production on just three targets Sunday. The absence of Drake London (knee) may have helped Mooney as well, but the latter was averaging 7.5 targets/game in Atlanta's last two games (both with London active), so the elevated role did not result in an uptick in targets. London is being considered week-to-week, but Mooney should stick as a deep-league option even if his teammate returns against the Jets next Sunday.
