Outlook Darnell Mooney
Plummeting Draft Cost Leaves Slot Role on Waiver Fringe
Darnell Mooney opens the campaign operating primarily out of the slot for New York. While he brings veteran experience, Mooney faces stiff target competition from Malik Nabers, Darius Slayton, and tight end Isaiah Likely in an offense led by Jaxson Dart. Late-August trade inquiries also cloud his long-term role within the receiving room.
Draft sentiment reflects this murky outlook. Mooney's 1.0 PPR draft stock has steadily cratered over the past month, tumbling from an ADP around 208 down past 340. Fantasy managers have largely cut bait, dropping his roster mark to two percent and treating him as a fading asset without clear weekly utility.
Our projections anticipate 30 receptions for 475 yards and three touchdowns on 71 targets, totaling 107.0 fantasy points. Coming off a 517-yard season in Atlanta, Mooney simply lacks the weekly volume to justify a draft pick outside of deep formats.

Chris Brooks at Minnesota — Rotational Role in Jacobs' Absence
With primary running back Josh Jacobs sidelined on the commissioner exempt list, Green Bay turns to a reshaped backfield committee featuring MarShawn Lloyd and Brooks. Brooks earned his spot on the 53-man roster after shaking off a preseason hamstring injury and enters Week 1 positioned to handle rotational touches behind Lloyd.
Even with increased opportunity, our weekly projections anticipate a modest workload on the road against Minnesota, slating him for roughly five carries, two targets, and 5.5 fantasy points. Rostered in 15% of leagues but started in just 1%, Brooks remains a speculative stash who should stay on fantasy benches this week.
