Darnell Mooney Carries Deep-League Buy-Low Upside into 2026

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.

Keon Coleman News

Bills Aren't Giving Up on Keon Coleman

Monday, April 27, 7:29 PM

Buffalo Bills president of football operations and general manager Brandon Beane has supported wide receiver Keon Coleman during recent interviews, and he even said the Bills "shut down" a couple of teams that reached out to Buffalo with trade interest in Coleman earlier this offseason. Beane said that Buffalo's intention is for "Keon to be here," and also said the Bills have "hit the reset button with him." Both Beane and new head coach Joe Brady have spoken highly of the work that Coleman has put in this offseason. The 22-year-old former second-rounder in 2024 out of Florida State has been a disappointment for the team in his two NFL seasons, both on and off the field. He regressed in 2025, catching 38 passes for 404 yards and four touchdowns in 13 regular-season games. The Bills' front office and coaching staff might not be giving up on Coleman, but there's no denying that his fantasy stock in dynasty/keeper leagues has dropped significantly. There will be added competition after the Bills acquired DJ Moore in a trade with Chicago, and drafted Skyler Bell out of UConn in the fourth round.
