The Falcons are benching QB Kirk Cousins and going to QB Michael Penix, according to both NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and ESPN's Adam Schefter. Atlanta stuck with Cousins for too long, losing four of the last five and falling out of first place in the NFC South. They beat the Raiders on Monday night in spite of Cousins, who completed just 11 of 17 passes for 112 yards, one TD, and one INT. Penix obviously lacks Cousins' experience but should prove to be a big upgrade in terms of arm talent. We'd still expect the Falcons to be a run-heavy offense going forward, especially as big favorites over the Giants this weekend.
Falcons WR Drake London had 10 targets against the Vikings, but was only able to haul in 70 yards. He also didn’t find the end zone for the fourth game in a row. His teammates had better fantasy days with Darnell Mooney catching six of seven targets for 142 yards while Ray-Ray McCloud caught eight of 11 targets for 98 yards.
Falcons TE Kyle Pitts was held without a catch in Sunday’s loss to the Chargers. He's now been held to 1 or fewer catches in three of his past four games.
Falcons WR Darnell Mooney (Achilles) was left off the final Week 13 injury report. He was limited on Wednesday, a full-go on Thursday, and then took a rest day on Friday. Barring further updates, expect Mooney to play his usual role against the Chargers on Sunday.
Falcons WR Darnell Mooney (Achilles) was limited in Wednesday's practice. He suffered a hamstring injury prior to Atlanta's Week 12 bye, but that isn't listed on this week's injury report. This Achilles was on the Week 11 injury report but didn't keep Mooney from playing. We're expecting him to play against the Chargers this weekend but will track his status over the next few days.
Falcons WR Darnell Mooney's hamstring injury is not believed to be serious, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Mooney gets a well-timed Week 12 bye, and it sounds like he'll have a chance to play come Week 13. We'll keep you posted on his status when the Falcons get back to work next week.
Falcons WR Darnell Mooney is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Broncos. Atlanta is down 31-6, so it'd be surprising to see Mooney back out there. We'll look for more information on the severity of the injury.
Falcons WR Darnell Mooney (Achilles) is not listed on the final Week 11 injury report. He was added to the injury report on Thursday and limited in Friday’s practice. But Mooney is in no danger of missing this weekend’s game vs. the Broncos. He checks in as a WR3 in that difficult matchup.
Falcons WR Darnell Mooney was added to the injury report with an Achilles and limited in practice on Thursday. There's no further information on his status right now. We'll see if Mooney practices on Friday and how he's listed on the final injury report for this weekend's game vs. the Broncos.
Falcons WR Darnell Mooney recorded 5 catches, 88 yards, and 1 score in a Week 9 win over Dallas. Mooney saw a team-high 9 targets – a huge 37.5% share – boosted by the first-half departure of Drake London (hip).
Falcons WR Darnell Mooney led the team in receiving catching five of seven targets including a TD. With QB Kirk Cousins throwing four TDs on the day, Mooney was the beneficiary of that strong passing attack from Cousins.
Falcons WR Darnell Mooney recorded his first career two-TD game in Thursday night's 36-30 overtime win over the Bucs. The first was an impressive 24-yarder in between multiple defenders. Mooney went up to get the ball and absorbed contact before tumbling into the end zone. His second TD came from 12 yards out. Mooney ran a quick out, spun away from his defender, and then beat the angle of another defender to get into the paint. Those were two of Mooney's nine catches for 105 yards on the night. He could have had an even bigger game but had an ugly drop in the fourth quarter for what could have gone for a 36-yard TD.
Eagles WR A.J. Brown missed practice Saturday after experiencing hamstring tightness in Friday's workout. The team has listed him as questionable for Monday night's game against the Falcons.
Falcons WR Rondale Moore will miss the 2024 season after suffering a knee injury in Wednesday's practice, NFL Network reports. We don't have any details yet on the injury.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that WR Darnell Mooney is signing a three-year deal with the Falcons. Mooney joins an offense that now has QB Kirk Cousins and features a new coaching staff. Mooney might have trouble ranking higher than fourth in targets, with WR Drake London, TE Kyle Pitts, and RB Bijan Robinson likely drawing more focus. But Mooney and his 11.7-yard career average target depth can fit nicely as a downfield worker. Expect him to be more of a later-round best ball factor than worthwhile option in lineup-setting formats. Check our best ball rankings for his updated position.

Bears WR Darnell Mooney (concussion) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Falcons. It'll be some combination of WRs Tyler Scott, Equanimeous St. Brown, Velus Jones, Collin Johnson, and Trent Taylor behind top dog D.J. Moore. Moore is obviously the only viable fantasy play in this WR corps.
Bears WR Darnell Mooney (concussion) did not practice on Wednesday. He self-reported concussion symptoms after last week's win over the Cardinals, HC Matt Eberflus said. Mooney is now unlikely to play vs. the Falcons this weekend. Hopefully you weren't counting on him in Week 17 fantasy lineups.
Bears WR Darnell Mooney (knee) got in a full practice on Friday and isn’t listed on the final injury report. He should be ready for his usual role vs. the Chiefs this weekend. Chicago’s passing volume figures to be elevated in that one, but Mooney remains a desperation fantasy play.
Bears WR Darnell Mooney (knee) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. Mooney said earlier this week that he expects to play vs. the Chiefs on Sunday, but we'll track his status over the next few days.
