Darnell Mooney Week 6 Outlook - Falcons at Panthers

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 10th 2024, 1:05pm EDT

Mooney has blown any offseason predictions for him in this Atlanta offense out of the water as the WR20 in fantasy points per game. He is tied for third on the team in red zone targets. Mooney has garnered a 21.9% target share with a 37.1% air-yard share, 1.94 YPRR, and a 28.2% first-read share. Carolina has the second-highest single-high rate (71.9%). Against single-high, Mooney's numbers have dipped some with a 20% target share, a 35.8% air-yard share, only 0.93 YPRR, and a 25.4% first-read share. Mooney will remain heavily involved, but it might not be the most efficient performance for him in Week 6. Mooney will run about 60% of his routes against Jaycee Horn (52.2% catch rate and 83.1 passer rating) and Mike Jackson (63.6% catch rate and 94.9 passer rating). Carolina has allowed the most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.
