Darnell Mooney

Darnell Mooney could quietly emerge as an important veteran presence in the Giants' offense after reuniting with OC Matt Nagy in New York on a one-year deal. Injuries derailed his 2025 season in Atlanta, but Mooney still brings proven downfield ability and prior 1,000-yard production to a WR room searching for stability behind Malik Nabers. His vertical skill set meshes well with Jaxson Dart's aggressive style of play, and he should compete for meaningful snaps early in the season while Nabers works his way back. Among the Giants' veteran receivers, Mooney offers the most fantasy intrigue entering 2026.

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.
