Darnell Mooney Leads Giants' Wideouts in Targets During Training Camp

Wednesday, August 19, 7:49 PM

New York Giants wide receiver Darnell Mooney has been the most targeted wide receiver at training camp. According to Giant Insider, Mooney has consistently worked with the first-team offense and is expected to play a major role in 2026. The former Bears and Falcons wide receiver is coming off a disappointing year, totaling just 443 yards and one touchdown in 15 games last season. Mooney signed a one-year, $3 million deal with the Giants and is competing for a prominent role alongside star Malik Nabers. With Nabers missing most of training camp while recovering from a torn ACL, Mooney has made an impact. From a fantasy perspective, Mooney is a long shot to be a major factor, as the team is expected to be run-heavy and use a lot of heavy personnel.

Keon Coleman Diagnosed With Sprained Foot/Toe

Tuesday, August 18, 10:39 AM

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman (foot/toe) has been diagnosed with a sprained foot/toe from Saturday's preseason opener against Carolina and is expected to miss some practice time. Coleman was in a walking boot on his right foot Tuesday, three days after catching a nine-yard touchdown from Josh Allen in Buffalo's 29-14 win. Head coach Joe Brady didn't sound overly concerned after the game, saying he believed Coleman would be fine while the team waited on the medical evaluation. Now there is a diagnosis, but still no return date. Coleman is heading into an important third season after catching 38 passes for 404 yards and four touchdowns in 13 games last year. He had put together a strong spring and summer before getting hurt. The walking boot makes the injury worth watching, but for now the only firm part is that Coleman will lose some practice time. How much remains unclear.
