Darnell Mooney News
Sunday, August 23, 7:02 PM
The New York Giants have reportedly fielded calls about trading wide receiver Darnell Mooney, according to Art Stapleton. Mooney signed a one-year, $3 million contract with the Giants this offseason, with expectations that he would pair with star wideout Malik Nabers on the outside. While Mooney has had a strong training camp, rookie receiver Malachi Fields' emergence could prompt the team to trade Mooney for value and let Fields operate with the starters this season. The former Falcons' receiver struggled in 2025, hauling in 44% of his targets for 443 yards and one touchdown in 15 games. Fantasy managers should keep a close eye on this Giants' receiver situation, as any move involving Mooney and veteran Darius Slayton could open the door for Fields to have a bigger role this season.

Keon Coleman News
Saturday, September 5, 2:20 PM
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman's stock is falling in fantasy football, partly due to an injury that slowed him down during training camp. Coleman suffered a right foot/toe injury during the Bills' preseason opener on Aug. 15, and although he did get back on the practice field this past week, his abbreviated training camp will likely hurt his stock at the start of the season. It's an unfortunate setback for the former Florida State receiver, who was already trending down after a frustrating 2025 season that included multiple non-injury-related absences. Coleman will try to dig his way out of the doghouse with new head coach Joe Brady, but first, he needs to get back up to game speed. He also needs to prove himself worthy of playing time in a wide receiver room that features DJ Moore, Khalil Shakir, Josh Palmer, and Skyler Bell. As it stands, Coleman is RotoBaller's WR117 in the latest redraft rankings. He can be avoided in 16-round fantasy drafts in leagues with 16 or fewer teams.
