    Is Darnell Mooney Playing in Week 17?

    Mooney is not listed on the injury report this week, so barring any setbacks, he is on track to play this weekend.

    We’ll continue to monitor the Falcons’ injury report. You can also visit and bookmark our NFL Injury Tracker and Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.

    Should You Start or Sit Darnell Mooney in Week 17?

    In Michael Penix Jr.’s debut, Mooney’s rates were awfully close to the numbers he has put up this season as a whole. His target share was up a tick, and his depth of target was down a little, but there is nothing that has me adjusting his ranking as a low-end WR3.

    The Commanders are the second most vulnerable defense in terms of deep touchdown rate, so there’s a thread to pull if you really need to roll the dice. That said, we are talking about a player with three sub-30-yard games over his past five who hasn’t scored since Week 9.

    I’d rather not play him if I have upside elsewhere. Josh Downs (at NYG) has a more stable skill set in a similarly plus matchup, while Adam Thielen (at TB) continues to get chances to produce usable weeks — I’d play both of them over Mooney in Week 17.
