Falcons' Darnell Mooney: Cleared for Week 6
Mooney (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Carolina.
Mooney finished the week as a full practice participant after being limited Wednesday and Thursday. He's coming off the best fantasy performance of his career -- 31.5 PPR points in a 36-30 win over Tampa Bay -- and is averaging 4.8 catches for a career-best 66.0 yards per game on 8.0 targets. Mooney needs just one more TD to match his personal best of four in a season, previously attained his first two years in the league (2020 and 2021).

Falcons' Darnell Mooney: Another limited session
Mooney (knee) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.
Mooney has opened this week with consecutive capped sessions due to a knee injury, giving him just one more chance to get back to full participation before the Falcons potentially tag him with a designation ahead of Sunday's game at Carolina. Considering he's coming off a 9-105-2 performance on 16 targets last Thursday against the Buccaneers, he's regained some sway in the fantasy realm while working with QB Kirk Cousins.

Falcons' Darnell Mooney: Tending to knee issue
Mooney was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a knee injury, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Mooney is coming off a season-best performance against the Buccaneers in Week 5, when he tallied nine catches (on 16 targets) for 105 yards and two touchdowns. He clearly is on the same page with quarterback Kirk Cousins, as the pair already have connected for eight receptions of 20-plus yards through five games. Now that Mooney has made an appearance on the Falcons' first Week 6 practice report, his status will be one to watch as the weekend approaches to ensure he isn't in danger of missing Sunday's contest at Carolina.

Falcons' Darnell Mooney: Standout night in OT victory
Mooney brought in nine of 16 targets for 105 yards and two touchdowns in the Falcons' 36-30 overtime win over the Buccaneers on Thursday night.
Mooney led the Falcons in receiving touchdowns and targets on the night while checking in second in catches and receiving yards to Drake London. The speedster found the end zone from 24 and 12 yards out in the second and fourth quarters, respectively, his second and third touchdowns of the season and Atlanta tenure. However, as good as Mooney's night was, it could have been marred by a drop of a very catchable third-down pass just past the midway point of the fourth quarter that was followed by a blocked Younghoe Koo field-goal attempt. Ultimately, the Falcons' victory and Mooney's 17-yard grab on his team's game-tying drive late in the fourth quarter helped ensure the gaffe would be insignificant, and the fifth-year pro appears to have burgeoning chemistry with Kirk Cousins heading into a Week 6 road contest against the Panthers on Sunday, Oct. 13.

Falcons' Darnell Mooney: Continues to be involved
Mooney caught three of six targets for 56 yards during Sunday's 26-24 win over the Saints.
After a quiet Week 1, Mooney has been a critical part of the Falcons' passing attack, racking up 14 receptions (on 21 targets) over the last three weeks. The veteran wideout has averaged 15.0 yards per catch thus far, which is a career-high mark. Former top-10 picks Bijan Robinson, Drake London and Kyle Pitts should theoretically lead Atlanta's offense every week, but that hasn't always been the case. Pitts didn't record a reception on three targets Sunday, while Robinson had only one more touch than backup RB Tyler Allgeier. It appears like Kirk Cousins has developed a nice rapport with Mooney, and that should continue moving forward, especially if the Falcons find themselves behind in games and resort to a pass-happy script. Cousins threw a season-high 35 passes versus New Orleans and is averaging 29.8 attempts per game on the season.

Falcons' Darnell Mooney: Stays hot with eight receptions
Mooney hauled in all eight of his targets for 66 yards in Sunday's 22-17 loss to Kansas CIty.
Mooney kept his momentum rolling following last week's 3-88-1 receiving line with a flawless receiving performance in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs. The newly-signed Falcon brought his season numbers up to 12-169-1 through three weeks, making him a definite deep-league option while likely enticing managers in shallower formats currently viewing Mooney on the waiver wire. Another strong fantasy game from the former Chicago wideout against the Saints next Sunday would likely generate even more fantasy buzz as the NFL inches toward the quarter point of the season.
