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.

Targeted seven times in Week 11 Mooney caught three of seven targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Panthers.

Impact Sunday's contest marked the second time that Mooney caught multiple passes since Week 7. The veteran wideout, however, was unable to turn these touches into significant production. Mooney's underwhelming performances this season have been a major disappointment, but he has the opportunity to see more involvement in the games passing attack with teammate Drake London (knee) considered week-to-week with a sprained PCL suffered in Week 11. The 28-year-old Mooney will step into the No. 1 spot on the wide receiver depth chart, so he should see a significant uptick in targets in the passing attack. With that said, he'll be catching passes from quarterback Kirk Cousins, as Michael Penix (knee) is on injured reserve. Mooney will look to make the most of his opportunity when the Falcons visit the Saints in Week 12.
