Can a Healthy Darnell Mooney Reemerge as a Dynasty Sleeper?

Monday, June 29, 5:37 AM

Veteran wide receiver Darnell Mooney signed a one-year deal with the New York Giants in the opening days of free agency in what was one of the earliest of several moves made to shore up the position. After a record-breaking rookie season, 2024 first-round pick Malik Nabers suffered a complicated knee injury in Week 4 of the 2025 season, and his difficult recovery has still left question marks about his availability to begin the year. With the team's leading receiver from 2025, Wan'Dale Robinson, departing in free agency, the Giants also added Calvin Austin III and followed up those early signings by spending a third-round pick on Notre Dame's Malachi Fields and since bringing in veterans Odell Beckham Jr., JuJu Smith-Schuster, and Braxton Berrios. Given his history with new Giants offensive coordinator Matt Nagy, Mooney could still be the most likely to emerge from the pack and see the largest role, both with and without Nabers on the field. His lone 1,000-yard campaign came with Nagy calling plays in Chicago, and if he can stay healthy in 2026, something he was unable to do in his final season with the Falcons, Mooney could make an impact early in the year and hold a fantasy-relevant outside role even after Nabers' eventual return.

Pat Bryant a Player to Watch When Broncos Gather for Training Camp

Wednesday, July 15, 5:37 AM

Denver Broncos wide receiver Pat Bryant missed a pair of games late in the 2025 season with a hamstring injury and a serious concussion, and he was forced to prematurely exit both of the team's playoff games, but he had shown notable growth near the end of his rookie campaign, with his involvement steadily on the rise. Over his final eight regular-season games, he was on a full-season pace of 55 receptions for 706 yards, and although he was on the field for only 12 total postseason snaps, he was targeted on exactly one-third of those plays, beginning both games as an obvious focal point of the Broncos' game plan. Denver's high-profile trade for Jaylen Waddle limits Bryant's opportunity for a true year-two breakout, and with veteran Courtland Sutton still on the team, the 2025 third-round pick will likely be left competing with Troy Franklin for meaningful work in three-receiver sets. However, quarterback Bo Nix threw the ball more than any player in the league last season, so the opportunity could exist for that third receiver spot to still hold fantasy value. Bryant is currently RotoBaller's WR76, but when training camps open at the end of the month, his positional battle with Franklin will be one to watch.
