Russell Wilson Not the Only Leader in Giants Clubhouse

Friday, June 27, 8:10 PM

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. said that quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston have been sharing leadership duties this offseason in the team's clubhouse. "I wouldn't say leader of the pack because Jameis and Russ, they both have a really good dynamic to where they both respect each other," Tracy said. "They both allow each other to lead in their own way, whatever it may be. If Jameis wants to say something, Russ is not gonna come and say this is how it is. He'll let Jameis talk and lead his own way." It could make for some awkward situations in 2025 if Wilson struggles at the position, but for now, nobody should be reading too much into it. Wilson, 36, is fully expected to be the starter in Week 1, but if he falters, both Winston and rookie first-rounder Jaxon Dart could make starts by the end of the year. At best, Wilson will be a low-end QB2 in fantasy as he nears the end of his career.

Falcons to Lean on Darnell Mooney More This Season

Friday, May 30, 11:44 AM

The Atlanta Falcons plan to target wide receiver Darnell Mooney more often during the 2025 season, according to wide receivers coach Ike Hilliard. "We're going to lean on him a lot more than we did last year and see where that goes," Hilliard said. Mooney impressed during his first campaign as a Falcon last year, catching 64 passes for 992 yards and five touchdowns through 16 games. He was the overall WR31 in PPR leagues despite missing the season's final contest with a shoulder injury. Mooney said he performed well on deep routes last year, and quarterback Michael Penix Jr. acknowledged how difficult he is to cover one-on-one. Operating alongside another talented receiver in Drake London, Mooney currently ranks as RotoBaller's WR48 in redraft leagues. That puts him ahead of players like Cooper Kupp, Stefon Diggs, and Matthew Golden.
