Darnell Mooney Barely Inside Top-100 WR Dynasty Rankings
Wide receiver Darnell Mooney surprised with 992 receiving yards in his first year with the Atlanta Falcons in 2024, but he could not live up to those standards with the team in 2024, catching just 32 passes for 443 yards and one touchdown in 2025. The 28-year-old signed a one-year, $3 million deal with the New York Giants in March. Mooney's best path to fantasy relevance in the Big Apple in 2026 is with fellow wideout Malik Nabers (knee) having a setback in his ACL recovery and not being ready for the start of the regular season. Otherwise, he figures to be in a low-volume role as the WR3 behind Nabers and Darius Slayton. After his disappointing 2025 season, Mooney's dynasty stock has fallen, and he's now barely inside RotoBaller's top-100 dynasty wideouts (No. 98). With the addition of tight end Isaiah Likely, too, Mooney may be quarterback Jaxson Dart's No. 4 target in the passing game this year. Mooney is shifty in the open field, but he lacks the blocking prowess that new head coach John Harbaugh likes in his receivers. Expecting Mooney to have another resurgent season like he had in 2024 would be foolish.
