Darnell Mooney

Mooney continues to make everyone who didn't draft him (it's me) or pick him up off waivers silly this season. He is the WR22 in fantasy points per game, ranking seventh in deep targets, 15th in receptions, and ninth in receiving yards. Mooney has a 21.9% target share, a 38.3% air-yard share, 2.08 YPRR, and a 29.4% first-read share. He should feast this week. Since Week 3, New Orleans has had the fourth-highest two-high rate (54.1%). Against two-high, Mooney has seen his target share jump to 24.6%, with his YPRR ballooning to 3.06 and his first-read share exploding to 32.7%. Mooney should be able to take advantage of a secondary that has allowed the fifth-most receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers this season.

Darnell Mooney hauled in five of his nine targets for 88 yards and one touchdown in a Falcons' 27-21 Week 9 win over the Cowboys.

Fantasy Impact

Mooney continues a difference-making stretch, reaching the end zone and finishing with at least 86 receiving yards in three of the last five games for the Falcons. The wideout could be in line for an even bigger role with fellow pass-catcher Drake London's status in question ahead of a Week 10 contest against the New Orleans Saints.
