Darnell Mooney

Darnell Mooney is expected to be the Giants lead slot receiver in 2026, filling the void left by Wan’Dale Robinson.

Fantasy Impact

Mooney had a down year in Atlanta in 2025, but has shown the ability to be a capable target in the past and could be a nice value in drafts. Wan’Dale Robinson was peppered with targets each of the last two seasons (both with and without Malik Nabers), so this could lead to some nice stable PPR production for the veteran.

The Giants agreed to terms with WR Darnell Mooney on a one-year, $10 million contract.

Fantasy Impact

Mooney was recently released by the Falcons. He is a potential replacement for Wan'Dale Robinson in the slot for the Giants and adds another deep threat weapon for Jaxson Dart. He'll likely be in the WR3/WR4 territory for fantasy managers.

Darnell Mooney is expected to be released by the Atlanta Falcons. The veteran wide receiver will count $18.4 million against the salary cap.

Fantasy Impact

Mooney had a solid first season with the Falcons in 2024 but then regressed substantially in 2025, finishing with just 32 catches for 443 yards and one score. He looked like a star in the making in his second season, catching 81 passes for 1,055 yards and four touchdowns with the Bears in 2021. But, he's finished with 40 catches or less in three of his last four seasons. Still just 28, Mooney still should have plenty in the tank and could be a solid pickup for teams with a shallow receiving corps.

Darnell Mooney caught 3-of-7 targets for 20 yards in the Falcons 19-17 win over the Saints.

Fantasy Impact

Mooney finishes a rough season where he also missed a few games to injuries. He will be a candidate to be released or have his contract restructured this offseason.

Falcons WR Darnell Mooney (knee) is officially active for Week 18.

Fantasy Impact

Mooney was considered questionable to play Sunday against the Saints. Kirk Cousins will have his top three pass catchers in the final game of the season.
