Darnell Mooney Facing Further Dynasty Decline

Friday, June 5, 5:36 AM

When veteran wide receiver Darnell Mooney signed a one-year deal with the New York Giants in March, he joined what looked to be one of the thinnest receiver rooms in the league. The Giants have since used a third-round pick on big-bodied boundary wideout Malachi Fields and opened June by handing out contracts to Odell Beckham Jr., JuJu Smith-Schuster, and Braxton Berrios. While the signings were perhaps an indictment of the health of presumed starters Malik Nabers and Darius Slayton, the infusion of depth is enough to make dynasty managers bearish on Mooney after he failed to top 450 receiving yards in his final season in Atlanta despite playing starter's snaps alongside players like David Sills V and Casey Washington, while Drake London missed five games with a sprained PCL. In what projects to be another run-heavy offense under John Harbaugh and Matt Nagy, Mooney already faced an uphill climb to reestablishing fantasy value, but with his situation now considerably murkier than it was at the time of his signing, the undersized 28-year-old has fallen to RotoBaller's dynasty WR98.

Travis Hunter News

Unclear When Travis Hunter Will be a Full-Go

Tuesday, June 9, 9:43 AM

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Liam Coen said that he's "extremely pleased" with where wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter (knee) is at "both mentally and physically" this offseason, according to 1010 XL/92.5 FM. However, Coen also said he doesn't know when Hunter will be "full-go" during offseason workouts after the 23-year-old former Heisman Trophy winner tore the LCL in his knee in late October of his rookie season in 2025. Hunter has "looked good" and has added muscle mass to his body as he prepares for Year 2 in the NFL. Coen said there's "no question he has gotten stronger." The former second overall pick last year out of the University of Colorado is missing out on live reps on the field this offseason, but he's working extremely hard elsewhere, and the Jags plan to continue to use him as a two-way player in 2026. The problem for fantasy managers is that Jacksonville plans to use the two-way star more as a defensive back this year, and with the Jags already stacked at WR with Jakobi Meyers, Brian Thomas Jr., and Parker Washington, it could be an uphill battle for Hunter to contribute every week as a pass-catcher. Hunter caught 28 of his 45 targets for 298 yards and one touchdown in seven games in 2025, and he has fallen to No. 73 in RotoBaller's WR rankings in redraft formats this year.
