Falcons' Darnell Mooney: Good to go
Darnell Mooney (Achilles) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Denver.Added to the injury report Thursday as a limited participant, Mooney apparently showed enough Friday to remove any doubt about his Week 11 availability. His production has been surprisingly close to that of fellow Atlanta Falcons wideout Drake London, who may have to deal with shadow coverage from Broncos CB Patrick Surtain on Sunday.

Falcons' Darnell Mooney: Dealing with Achilles injury
Darnell Mooney was limited at Thursday's practice due to an Achilles injury, Tori McElhaney of the Atlanta Falcons' official site reports.Mooney has been a revelation behind Atlanta's No. 1 WR Drake London this season. While he's surpassed 100 receiving yards just one time in 10 outings, Mooney has accrued a 46-684-5 line on 77 targets. Now with a health concern in tow, his status will be one to monitor as the week goes on to see if he may be in danger of sitting out Sunday at Denver.

Falcons' Darnell Mooney: Paces air attack in win
Darnell Mooney brought in five of seven targets for 92 yards and a touchdown in the Atlanta Falcons' 31-26 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.Mooney led the Falcons in receiving yards and targets on the afternoon while recording a touchdown for the fourth time this season on a perfectly timed 30-yard pass from Kirk Cousins late in the second quarter. Mooney has remained healthy and turned into a steady contributor in coordinator Zac Robinson's offense, a welcome change from his previous two seasons with the Bears following an encouraging start to his career. Mooney will next take aim at the Cowboys in a Week 9 home matchup.

Falcons' Darnell Mooney: Garners eight targets in loss
Darnell Mooney secured five of eight targets for 46 yards during Sunday's 34-14 loss to the Seahawks.Mooney saw at least eight targets for the third time this season, but his 9.2 yards per reception in Week 7 was his second-lowest mark of the campaign. With Kirk Cousins at the helm, Atlanta's passing attack has been fruitful, and Mooney has benefitted. However, Mooney remains the WR2 behind Drake London, with RB Bijan Robinson and TE Kyle Pitts also seeing their fair share of work in the passing attack.

Falcons' Darnell Mooney: Quiet game as RBs shine
Darnell Mooney hauled in three of five targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 38-20 win over Carolina.Mooney was cleared from the minor knee injury that forced him to be a limited participant in practices Wednesday and Thursday. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, the budding wideout didn't sniff last week's impressive 9-105-2 receiving line as Atlanta's rushing attack shouldered the offensive load against Carolina on Sunday. A healthy Mooney remains a viable fantasy option when the Atlanta Falcons host the Seahawks next Sunday.

He's coming off the best fantasy performance of his career -- 31.5 PPR points in a 36-30 win over Tampa Bay -- and is averaging 4.8 catches for a career-best 66.0 yards per game on 8.0 targets. Mooney needs just one more TD to match his personal best of four in a season, previously attained his first two years in the league (2020 and 2021).

Falcons' Darnell Mooney: Another limited session
Darnell Mooney (knee) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.Mooney has opened this week with consecutive capped sessions due to a knee injury, giving him just one more chance to get back to full participation before the Atlanta Falcons potentially tag him with a designation ahead of Sunday's game at Carolina. Considering he's coming off a 9-105-2 performance on 16 targets last Thursday against the Buccaneers, he's regained some sway in the fantasy realm while working with QB Kirk Cousins.

Falcons' Darnell Mooney: Tending to knee issue
Darnell Mooney was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a knee injury, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.Mooney is coming off a season-best performance against the Buccaneers in Week 5, when he tallied nine catches (on 16 targets) for 105 yards and two touchdowns. He clearly is on the same page with quarterback Kirk Cousins, as the pair already have connected for eight receptions of 20-plus yards through five games. Now that Mooney has made an appearance on the Atlanta Falcons' first Week 6 practice report, his status will be one to watch as the weekend approaches to ensure he isn't in danger of missing Sunday's contest at Carolina.
