Darnell Mooney A Dependable WR2 In Week 10
3 mins agoAtlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney has topped 80 yards receiving and scored in two consecutive games, continuing to earn consistent looks in the Falcon passing attack. Some of his production last week could be attributed to Drake London's absence after the first quarter, but he's been getting attention whether London has been on the field or not. The 27-year-old has six or more targets in three straight and seven of nine games this season, good for a 23.94% target share compared to 24.65% for Drake London, and Mooney actually has a higher percentage of the team's air yards compared to London (37.76% vs. 33.59%). All of this gives him a decent floor for fantasy, especially in PPR leagues, and with five touchdowns on the season, the fifth-year pro has a fairly high ceiling as well. The Saints are without Paulson Adebo (leg) and Marshon Lattimore (traded), so Mooney's 3-56-0 line from Week 4 should look a bit better this time around. The former fifth-round draft pick projects as a back-end WR2 this week, but keep an eye on London's status for Sunday, because if he doesn't suit up, the Atlanta receiving corps will have some additional targets to go around.
