Falcons' Darnell Mooney: Makes three catches vs. Buccaneers
Darnell Mooney secured three of six targets for 35 yards during Thursday's 29-28 win over Tampa Bay.Mooney played 92 offensive snaps with Drake London (knee) sidelined again, but he was outpaced in the receiving game by all of Kyle Pitts (11-166-3), Bijan Robinson (8-82-0) and David Sills (6-78-0). Across 12 regular-season appearances so far, Mooney has surpassed 50 receiving yards on just two occasions. He'll remain difficult to trust for fantasy purposes Week 16 on the road against Arizona, even if London is unavailable again.

Falcons' Darnell Mooney: Held to one grab Sunday
Darnell Mooney caught one of four targets for six yards in Sunday's 37-9 loss to the Seahawks.Even with Drake London (knee) out of action again, Mooney couldn't get anything going against Seattle's tough defense, as tight end Kyle Pitts wound up leading Atlanta in all receiving categories. In the three games London has missed, Mooney's managed just a 6-105-1 line on 12 targets, making him little more than a dart throw for fantasy purposes in Week 15 against the Buccaneers, whether London is healthy or not.

Falcons' Darnell Mooney: Five targets in London's absence
Darnell Mooney caught two of five targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Jets.Mooney led all Atlanta Falcons wide receivers in targets but finished third on the team in that category behind Kyle Pitts (eight) and Bijan Robinson (seven) as Atlanta played without top wide receiver Drake London (knee) for a second consecutive game. Mooney had 74 yards and a touchdown in the first game London missed, but that performance was fueled by a 49-yard touchdown catch. If London remains sidelined in Week 14, Mooney would likely remain the de facto top wide receiver for the Falcons against Seattle's talented secondary.

Falcons' Darnell Mooney: Rips off long TD on Sunday
Darnell Mooney had three receptions on as many targets for 74 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Saints.Mooney turned in his best fantasy score this season after breaking off a 49-yard touchdown reception in the fourth quarter to put the game out of reach for New Orleans. The big scoring play helps explain the outburst in production on just three targets Sunday. The absence of Drake London (knee) may have helped Mooney as well, but the latter was averaging 7.5 targets/game in Atlanta's last two games (both with London active), so the elevated role did not result in an uptick in targets. London is being considered week-to-week, but Mooney should stick as a deep-league option even if his teammate returns against the Jets next Sunday.

Falcons' Darnell Mooney: Targeted seven times in Week 11
Darnell Mooney caught three of seven targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Panthers.Sunday's contest marked just the second time that Mooney caught multiple passes in a game since Week 7. The veteran wideout has been a major disappointment this season, but he has the opportunity to turn things around with Drake London (knee) considered week-to-week due to a sprained PCL suffered in Week 11. Mooney will step into the No. 1 spot on the depth chart as a result, but he'll be catching passes from quarterback Kirk Cousins, as Michael Penix (knee) is on injured reserve.

Falcons' Darnell Mooney: One catch in win
Darnell Mooney caught one of eight targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 31-25 loss to the Colts.Mooney caught just one pass for the third straight week, though his eight targets were tied for a team high with fellow receiver Drake London. The 28-year-old has not been able to get on the same page with quarterback Michael Penix lately, making him a difficult player to trust for fantasy purposes. Mooney will have his next opportunity to bounce back in a Week 11 home game against the Panthers.

Falcons' Darnell Mooney: Another one-catch outing
Darnell Mooney caught one of two targets for 15 yards during Sunday's 24-23 loss to the Patriots.Mooney played every offensive snap for the first time this season, but he finished with only one catch for a third time in six appearances. The wideout caught three passes for a season-high 68 yards during his Week 7 return from a one-game absence due to a shoulder injury, but he totaled only two receptions on six targets for 26 yards over his past two appearances. Only three Atlanta Falcons saw more than two targets Sunday: Drake London (14), Bijan Robinson (10) and Kyle Pitts (seven).

Falcons' Darnell Mooney: Logs full practice Thursday
Darnell Mooney (hamstring) practiced in full Thursday, Tori McElhaney of the Atlanta Falcons' official site reports.Mooney upgraded from limited Wednesday due to his lingering hamstring issue to all activity one day later, indicating that it isn't much of a concern. Fellow WR Drake London (hip) and TE Kyle Pitts (ankle) again were limited, meaning Mooney currently is the healthiest among Atlanta's key pass catchers. Having said that, Mooney didn't benefit from London's absence this past Sunday versus the Dolphins, hauling in just one of four passes for 11 yards while working with fill-in QB Kirk Cousins. No. 1 QB Michael Penix (knee) also remained limited Thursday, so there's a chance Cousins will be under center Sunday at New England.
