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.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed (collarbone, foot) has officially been placed on Injured Reserve, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. This move comes as no surprise after Reed suffered a fractured collarbone in Week 2. He had also been attempting to play through a Jones fracture in his foot, so Reed underwent operations on both injuries earlier this week. The IR placement guarantees Reed will miss at least four games, but he's almost certain to be out significantly longer than that. Without him, Packers wide receivers Romeo Doubs, Dontayvion Wicks, and Matthew Golden could all see a bump in both snaps and target volume. Reed could be stashed in fantasy leagues that offer an IR spot, but there's no guarantee he will be able to return in time to make an impact later this season.
