Darnell Mooney Records Only One Catch in Blowout Loss to Dolphins

Monday, October 27, 9:57 AM

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney caught one of his four targets for 11 yards in their 34-10 loss to the Miami Dolphins. Mooney was set up for a potential big game with No. 1 wide receiver Drake London (hip) ruled out, but Atlanta struggled to sustain any offense as veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins filled in for an injured Michael Penix Jr. (knee). Mooney finished a distant third on the team in targets, with tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. leading the way with nine and veteran wide receiver KhaDarel Hodge coming in right behind him with eight targets. Mooney is a name to watch on the waiver wire despite the down game because of the injury to London. His status will be updated in the coming days. If he's sidelined again for Week 9 against the New England Patriots, Mooney should be in line for additional targets and could also benefit from Penix's potential return for the road matchup.

Cedric Tillman Expected Back From IR After the Bye

Monday, October 27, 6:15 PM

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said on Monday that wide receiver Cedric Tillman (hamstring) is expected to return in Week 10 against the New York Jets after the team's Week 9 bye, according to Zac Jackson of The Athletic. Tillman is eligible to have his 21-day practice window opened this week. Whether the 25-year-old actually returns in Week 10 will depend on how he looks once he gets back on the practice field. Before suffering a hamstring injury in Week 4, Tillman caught 11 passes for 106 yards and two touchdowns on 20 targets, but that was also when veteran quarterback Joe Flacco was still starting for the team. With rookie Dillon Gabriel now starting under center and mostly struggling, Tillman isn't going to be as intriguing as a WR4/flex in fantasy football lineups.
