Darnell Mooney Week 16 Outlook - Giants at Falcons

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Dec 19th 2024, 1:05pm EST

Mooney has been the WR36 in fantasy points per game while ranking sixth among wide receivers in deep targets. If Penix Jr. is looking to challenge this secondary deep this week, Mooney should be involved. Since Week 7, New York has had the highest single-high rate in the NFL (68.5%). Against single-high, Mooney has had a 19.3% target share, 1.64 YPRR, and a 27.2% first-read share. Mooney's stock has suffered in recent weeks with this offense becoming more conservative, but Penix Jr. could change that. New York has allowed the sixth-most PPR points per target and the 12th-most fantasy points per game to perimeter wide receivers this season.
