Darnell Mooney News
Tuesday, September 8, 10:31 AM
The New York Giants' unofficial depth chart has Darnell Mooney as the team's No. 2 wide receiver entering the year behind Malik Nabers (knee), according to ESPN's Jordan Raanan. Rookie Malachi Fields and veteran Odell Beckham Jr. are the backups to Nabers and Mooney after the Giants recently cut Darius Slayton from the 53-man roster. Mooney comes to the Big Apple in 2026 after a down year in his second season with the Atlanta Falcons, in which he caught 32 of 72 targets for 443 yards and only one touchdown in 15 starts. The year before, the 28-year-old former fifth-rounder from Tulane had a resurgent season, catching 64 passes for 992 yards and a career-high five touchdowns in 16 starts. After the season-ending injury to Calvin Austin III (knee) and the release of Slayton, Mooney could be a sneaky deep-league option off the waiver wire to begin the 2026 season. Right now, he is only rostered in 1% of Yahoo leagues. Mooney's best year came in 2021 with the Chicago Bears, when he posted an 81-1,055-4 line in 17 games played in his second year in the NFL.

Pat Bryant News
Thursday, September 3, 6:41 AM
Denver Broncos wide receiver Pat Bryant has had an impressive training camp and should be moving up fantasy draft boards as a result. According to Jon Heath of Broncos Wire of USA Today, Bryant has been "praised by coaches and teammates all summer." Heath goes on to quote safety Talanoa Hufanga as the latest to chime in on Bryant's excellent camp who said Bryant was the most improved offensive player on the team. "Pat Bryant is a guy that came in -- believe it or not, was a guy who was more of a role player last year and doing what he was asked. He was still learning Sean [Payton]'s scheme at the time...What he's done this camp, he's really solidifying himself and making a name for himself in this league." Look for Bryant to carve out a role on a deep Broncos receiving core with Jaylen Waddle, Courtland Sutton, and Marvin Mims listed as the top three receivers. The Broncos Wire article says Bryant could emerge as the No. 3 with Mims having more of a special teams role.
