Darnell Mooney A WR3 Option With A Solid Floor
4 weeks agoAtlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney garnered eight targets last week, the fifth time in seven games that he's totaled six or more looks in a contest. With a 22.84% target share and 31.77% of the team's total air yards, the 26-year-old has a solid role in this offense, giving him a decent weekly floor in fantasy leagues, particularly in PPR. The Falcons will take on the Buccaneers in Week 8, a team that Kirk Cousins roasted for 508 yards through the air back in Week 5, with Mooney having his best performance of the season (9-105-2). While another 16 targets for Mooney likely isn't in the offing, the fifth-year pro will be involved plenty, especially with all the attention Drake London will command. The Bucs have allowed the fourth-most passing yards per game and in Week 7 they allowed five passing TDs to the Ravens. The product out of Tulane projects as a high-end WR3 this week with WR2 upside in this enticing matchup.
