Darnell Mooney News
Monday, April 27, 9:39 AM
New York Giants wide receiver Darnell Mooney battled through a disastrous season with the Atlanta Falcons in 2025, recording just 32 receptions for 443 yards and a touchdown on 72 targets across 15 games. The 28-year-old was released by Atlanta at the end of the year and will now try to resurrect his NFL career on a one-year, $3 million deal with the Giants. Provided he makes it back to full strength from the knee injury that ended his 2025 season, wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee) should dominate targets in New York. Behind Nabers, Mooney figures to be fighting with veteran wideouts Darius Slayton and Calvin Austin III for the Giants' WR2 role. New York also added Notre Dame wide receiver Malachi Fields with a third-round pick in the 2026 Draft, further muddying the team's depth chart at the position. Mooney remains in a decent position for a bounce-back season. However, there are also enough quality options around him in New York that he's not a lock for any playing time at all if he struggles to produce.

Drake London News
Sunday, April 19, 10:47 AM
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London ran into some injury issues with his knee that caused him to miss time down the stretch of the 2025 season. Still, the 24-year-old was highly productive across the 12 games he was active for, recording 68 receptions for 919 yards and seven touchdowns on a whopping 112 targets. London is averaging 9.3 targets per game over the past two seasons and profiles as the clear number one pass-catcher in Atlanta once again in 2026. However, the Falcons' ongoing issues at the quarterback position continue to limit London's upside. Atlanta QB Michael Penix Jr. (knee) is coming off a torn ACL and was largely ineffective when healthy in 2025, throwing for 1,982 yards and nine touchdowns across nine games. The Falcons signed veteran signal-caller Tua Tagovailoa in free agency, but the 28-year-old threw 15 interceptions and averaged under seven yards per pass attempt across 14 games with the Miami Dolphins in 2025. London remains a dynasty WR1, but he may struggle to realize his full potential until the Falcons solve the quarterback position.
