The Atlanta Falcons are banged up on defense, but got some good news for their offense heading into Sunday’s game in Denver. Darnell Mooney is not listed on the game report for injury. 

There was a scare for Darnell Mooney fantasy managers when he popped up on the injury report for an Achilles aggravation. Processing the word Achilles does not bring favorable memories to light, just ask Christian McCaffrey fantasy managers. 

Darnell Mooney is the WR-8 on the season. Kirk Cousins has connected with Mooney to put a damper on any questions about the Falcons having receiver talent behind Drake London who is the WR-4. He is 3rd in Explosive Rating (EPX) with a score of 131. Mooney is also 11th in Best Ball Points Added with 68.7.

Start Darnell Mooney with confidence. Oftentimes it is easy to fade players who don’t have name brand value, however Darnell Mooney’s game in 2024 has been name brand worthy.
