Who Should I Start? Darnell Mooney or Wan'Dale Robinson

Atlanta Falcons head coach Raheem Morris "kept things a bit open-ended" about the availability of wide receiver Darnell Mooney (shoulder) for the start of the regular season, according to Tori McElhaney of Fox 5 Sports. Mooney exited the team's practice on Friday with a shoulder injury he suffered while attempting a diving catch and is expected to be re-evaluated in a few weeks. It's worrying news for the 27-year-old, who was highly productive in his first season with the Falcons in 2024. Mooney played 16 games last season, recording 64 receptions for 992 yards and four touchdowns. Atlanta is thin at wide receiver behind Mooney and Drake London, with Ray-Ray McCloud III, KhaDarel Hodge, and newly-signed DJ Chark the top candidates to get more playing time in Mooney's absence. Tight end Kyle Pitts could also be a beneficiary, as he lost targets last season due to Mooney's emergence.

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (leg) was back at practice participating in individual drills on Tuesday, according to Dan Duggan of The Athletic. Robinson sat out Monday's session after taking a knee to the leg on Sunday. The 24-year-old had a breakout season in 2024 in terms of receptions (93) and targets (140), though he averaged a meager 7.5 yards per catch and finished with only three touchdowns in 17 games. Robinson, who will be catching passes from new quarterback Russell Wilson, is heading into this season as RotoBaller's 68th-ranked receiver.
