Darnell Mooney News
Saturday, March 14, 4:11 PM
Free agent wide receiver Darnell Mooney has agreed to a one-year deal with the New York Giants worth up to $10 million. Mooney was pegged as a popular sleeper candidate with the Falcons in 2025, but dealt with injuries and inconsistency and was unable to top 75 receiving yards in any of his 15 starts. He now brings an element of speed to a Giants' offensive unit that has already added tight end Isaiah Likely through free agency and is expected to have both Malik Nabers and Cam Skattebo back from season-ending injuries. Quarterback Jaxson Dart's 11.9-yard ADoT in his final season at Ole Miss was among the highest in the nation, and he should benefit from the addition of another downfield threat.

Rashod Bateman News
Wednesday, February 18, 6:45 AM
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman had a very underwhelming 2025 season, catching just 19 of his 38 targets for a career-low 224 yards and two touchdowns. Missing four games impacted his stats slightly, but it's concerning that he had fewer yards over 13 games in 2025 than yards over just six games in 2022. His 1.5 catches and 4.3 fantasy points (PPR) per game are both new career lows. Interestingly enough, Bateman remains under contract with the Ravens through 2029, so he'll have plenty of opportunities to bounce back next season and beyond. It does work in his favor that DeAndre Hopkins and Isaiah Likely are both free agents, but Bateman will still have to compete for targets behind Zay Flowers, Mark Andrews, and any other pass-catchers the Ravens bring in. He can be avoided in all redraft leagues next year, and dynasty managers should be willing to drop him when the 2026 roster crunch comes around.
