Darnell Mooney

Darnell Mooney is coming off a horrible and injury-plagued season, but I can't help but think he is going to be a STEAL in a very bad WR free agent class on a new team. The Bears drafted Tyler Scott in the 2023 draft to be Mooney's replacement in 2024. Mooney finished the season 10th in yards after the catch per reception (6.0) despite entering the year coming off a late November broken ankle injury.

Mooney shined his brightest from 2021-2022 in the NFL with a 27% target share. He has shown the ability to command targets at a high level. In Atlanta, there is nobody behind Drake London, cementing Mooney as the clear-cut WR2 in a Kirk Cousins-led offense.

The Atlanta Falcons signed Darnell Mooney to a three-year, $39 million deal with $26 million fully guaranteed

Fantasy Impact

Mooney had been rumored to the Chiefs, but he lands with Kirk Cousins and a new look Falcons offense. He'll likely hold a deep threat role alongside Drake London and Kyle Pitts in the passing game for Atlanta.
