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 would be a career-high mark. Former top-ten 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, while Robinson had only one more touch than backup RB Tyler Allgeier on Sunday. 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, averaging 29.8 attempts per game.
