Trends


"Mooney is entering his sixth NFL season, including his second with the Falcons. Year 1 in Atlanta was a relative success despite Mooney playing behind Drake London in a run-heavy offense. The veteran receiver handled a 21% target share and had his best showings in targets, catches and yards since his breakout 2021 season. He also caught a career-high five touchdowns. Though Mooney played well, the production wasn't enough to allow his first top-30 fantasy campaign (PPG). Mooney remains locked into the No. 2 WR role in a Falcons' offense that very well could make a leap with Michael Penix Jr. entering his first season as the full-time starting quarterback. That's enough to put him on the flex radar, but his upside is limited."


"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."
