Darnell Mooney Continues to Shine for the Atlanta Falcons
1 day ago

With an early injury to Drake London, Darnell Mooney capitalized on the opportunity with a big day in week 9.

The Atlanta Falcons outlasted the Dallas Cowboys 27-21 on Sunday. The pleasant week 9 result pushes the Falcons to a 6-3 record atop the NFC South standings. 

 

Early on it looked like a Drake London day, but a hip injury made it a short afternoon for the Falcons star wide receiver. Darnell Mooney capitalized with 5 receptions for 88 receiving yards on 9 targets. Mooney scored a touchdown and came away with 19.8 fantasy points. 

 

Darnell Mooney ended the week as the WR-11 and is the WR-12 on the season. Kirk Cousins has shown he can support multiple weapons. Darnell Mooney has earned a weekly role as a starter in fantasy lineups. The Falcons travel to New Orleans in week 10 to face the downward spiraling Saints.
