Darnell Mooney To Get Back On Track In Week 7
2 months agoAtlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney hauled in just three of five targets for 38 yards last week as the team leaned more on the ground attack in a game they basically controlled throughout. The fifth-year pro had garnered no less than six targets in the four weeks prior. This week's clash with the Seahawks figures to be more competitive and is anticipated to be a high-scoring affair, so should this game go back and forth, Mooney would stand to benefit. Drake London is the unquestioned first option, but Mooney has a higher yards per catch average than London (13.6 vs. 11.3), and with Seattle down their top two cornerbacks in this one, there may be little they can do to limit the receivers on the outside. Look for a big play or two from the 26-year-old wideout in Week 7 as he projects as a high-end WR3.
