Falcons' Darnell Mooney: No catches in Week 15
Darnell Mooney failed to secure his lone target in Monday's 15-9 win over the Raiders.Mooney was a complete nonfactor in Week 15 despite playing 91 percent of Atlanta's offensive snaps against the Raiders. Monday's game marked the first time in which the veteran wideout failed to record a single reception in a contest this season. The Atlanta Falcons' passing attack continues to struggle with Kirk Cousins under center, as he completed just 11 of 17 passes in the game. Mooney will look to bounce back in Week 16 against the vulnerable Giants secondary, though he'll be on the receiving end of passes from rookie signal caller Michael Penix, as the Falcons announced Tuesday that Penix will be the team's starting quarterback moving forward.

Falcons' Darnell Mooney: Blows past century mark in loss
Darnell Mooney brought in six of seven targets for 142 yards in the Atlanta Falcons' 42-21 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.Mooney led the Falcons in receiving yards on the afternoon with a figure that also qualified as a career high. The speedster was a menace to the Vikings' defense throughout the contest, recording catches of 28, 24 and 49 yards in the first half alone. Mooney also had 18- and 14-yard grabs in the second half, and his prolific performance was a sorely needed one after the veteran wideout had posted just a 5-47 line over the previous two games. Mooney heads into a Week 15 road battle against the Raiders on Monday night, Dec. 16 just 117 receiving yards shy of his second career 1,000-yard campaign.

Falcons' Darnell Mooney: Limited to three catches in loss
Darnell Mooney secured three of six targets for 20 yards in the Atlanta Falcons' 17-13 loss to the Chargers on Sunday.Mooney was a distant fourth in the pass-catching pecking order Sunday, posting his lowest receiving yardage total since his Week 1 team debut against the Steelers. The veteran speedster was also the target on Kirk Cousins' late third-quarter pick-six, and Mooney has now been under 30 receiving yards in consecutive games for the first time this season. Mooney will look to bounce back against a Vikings secondary that's proved vulnerable to the pass in a Week 14 road matchup.

Falcons' Darnell Mooney: Gets back to full Thursday
Darnell Mooney (Achilles) was listed as a full participant on Thursday's injury report, Daniel Flick of SI.com reports.As the Atlanta Falcons emerge from their Week 12 bye, Mooney again is dealing with an Achilles injury, but after a limited practice Wednesday he experienced an upgrade one day later, setting him up to play this Sunday against the Chargers. He's averaging 4.4 catches for a career-high 64.6 yards per game, with a career-high five TDs in 11 appearances. The target volume (7.4 per game) doesn't quite match what Mooney got during his 1,055-yard breakout season in 2020 (8.2 targets per game), but his per-target efficiency in Atlanta is better than it ever was in Chicago, with the wideout averaging career highs for yards per catch (14.8) and yards per target (8.8).

Falcons' Darnell Mooney: Logs limited practice Wednesday
Darnell Mooney (hamstring) practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday, Will McFadden of the Atlanta Falcons' official site reports.Prior to the Falcons' last game Nov. 17 at Denver, Mooney was added to the injury report midweek due to an Achilles issue but ultimately didn't take a designation into the contest. He then made an early exit from that contest due to a hamstring injury, but following the team's Week 12 bye, he again is dealing with the Achilles concern. Head coach Raheem Morris told Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com on Wednesday that Mooney is "looking good and feeling good," and that he likes Mooney's chances to play Week 13. In the end, how Mooney is listed Thursday and Friday likely will determine whether or not he carries a questionable tag into Sunday's contest against the Chargers.

Falcons' Darnell Mooney: Injury not viewed as serious
The hamstring injury that forced Darnell Mooney out of Sunday's 38-6 loss to the Broncos isn't viewed as serious, a source tells Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com.Atlanta could send Mooney in for an MRI just to ensure he's not dealing with anything more than a mild strain of his hamstring, but the wideout may not have to miss any time because of the injury. Mooney will benefit from a well-timed Week 12 bye, giving him added time to heal before the Atlanta Falcons return to action Sunday, Dec. 1 versus the Chargers. Mooney finished the loss to Denver with two catches for 27 yards on four targets while playing a season-low 58 percent of the Falcons' offensive snaps due to the injury.

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.
