Darnell Mooney Week 8 Outlook - Falcons at Buccaneers

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 24th 2024, 1:05pm EDT

Mooney is the WR24 in fantasy points per game, ranking tenth in deep targets. He also has seen four red zone targets in the last three games as the team tries to get him more involved inside the 20-yard line. Mooney has a 20.5% target share, a 32.4% air-yard share, 1.76 YPRR, and a 26.8% first-read share. He should enjoy a nice week, especially if he and Cousins can connect deep against a secondary that has allowed the 11th-most deep passing yards and the tenth-highest deep passer rating. The Bucs are 16th in PPR points per target and have allowed the ninth-most receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.
