Darnell Mooney Injury Update for Fantasy Football
Darnell Mooney Fantasy Football Outlook for Week 6
If Mooney does play in Week 6, he should be locked in your lineup, as he has been nothing but productive this season for fantasy managers.
Mooney is coming off a standout performance where he hauled in nine of his 16 targets for 105 yards and two touchdowns against the Buccaneers in Week 5. This brings his touchdown total to three on the season.
Although it's unrealistic to expect that kind of production weekly, Mooney’s role in the Atlanta offense is clearly expanding and he has become the clear second option in the passing game.
As long as quarterback Kirk Cousins remains healthy, Mooney will continue to be a downfield threat through the air. Moving forward, fantasy managers should view Mooney as a solid WR3 or FLEX option in fantasy lineups.
