Darnell Mooney News
Saturday, April 4, 8:10 AM
New York Giants wide receiver Darnell Mooney will compete for an opportunity to be Jaxson Dart's No. 2 target behind Malik Nabers. There are a lot of players in the mix for bigger pass-catching roles, and Mooney will have a chance to compete for a path to significant volume if he can stay healthy and productive throughout training camp. Mooney was seen as a potential breakout candidate prior to the 2025 season, but he ultimately fell quite short with just 32 catches, 443 yards, and one touchdown, ranking as the WR79 in PPR leagues. This offseason, he took his talents to New York, where his biggest competition will be Calvin Austin III, Darius Slayton, Theo Johnson, and Isaiah Likely. Dart is arguably more capable of supporting multiple fantasy-relevant receivers than Mooney's last quarterback, Michael Penix Jr., so that's an encouraging sign for 2026. It's too early and too bold to say that he'll be a consistent WR3/flex in 2026, but he certainly has the upside. He had 996 yards just two years ago, and he's an intriguing buy-low candidate in dynasty leagues this offseason after a down season.

Jordan Addison News
Sunday, April 19, 8:14 AM
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison has the talent to produce as a fringe top-24 fantasy receiver every week, but quarterback issues have plagued his fantasy value recently. After opening his career with back-to-back top-24 finishes in PPR leagues, Addison dropped to WR45 in 2025. Sure, he did miss three games due to a suspension, but his average of 9.7 fantasy points per game was still a career low. The USC product suffered from playing with a combination of J.J. McCarthy, Max Brosmer, and Carson Wentz. Those quarterbacks struggled to support fantasy relevance for Justin Jefferson, let alone both Jefferson and Addison. As a result, there's some concern about Addison's outlook in dynasty leagues. The Vikings have control of McCarthy for three more years, and they also signed Kyler Murray, who played so poorly in Arizona that the Cardinals released him from his $230.5 million extension. We never saw Murray support multiple fantasy-relevant receivers at once, and so far, McCarthy has struggled to do the same. As a result, managers should temper expectations for Addison. He's not an appealing dynasty trade target at the moment.
