News
- Mooney caught two passes on three targets for 20 yards and logged a nine-yard carry during the Giants' 12-7 win over the Titans on Sunday.
Mooney has logged two catches in each of the first three games of the season, and his 95 receiving yards are third-most on the Giants behind tight end Isaiah Likely (124) and Malik Nabers (96). The Giants will stay home in Week 4 against the Cardinals, whose defense has given up the second-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season.
RotoWire via ESPN - Mooney caught two of three targets for 48 yards in Monday night's 28-6 loss to the Rams.
Mooney led the team with 48 receiving yards in what was a disappointing outing for New York's offense. Starting quarterback Jaxson Dart suffered a knee injury on the first possession of the game, and he is expected to be sidelined for the foreseeable future. Mooney will look to continue to build chemistry with new starter Jameis Winston in Week 3 against the Titans.
RotoWire via ESPN - Mooney caught both of his targets for 27 yards in Sunday night's 28-20 victory over Dallas.
Mooney was on the field for 39 of the team's 69 total offensive snaps, 11 fewer than rookie Malachi Fields. He appears to have settled in as New York's primary slot receiver as the regular season gets underway, and veteran Odell Beckham may be his biggest competition for the role moving forward.
RotoWire via ESPN - Mooney could have a chance to open the season as the Giants' No. 3 receiver after Calvin Austin (knee) sustained a torn ACL in Tuesday's practice, Jordan Ranaan of ESPN.com reports.
Before injuring his right knee, Austin looked primed to play a significant role as the Giants' slot receiver, but the team is now expected to take a committee approach to that position in the wake of his season-ending injury, per Dan Duggan of The Athletic. Along with Mooney, fellow wideouts Malik Nabers (knee) and Odell Beckham and tight end Isaiah Likely could also get more chances to work in the slot. Ranaan notes that Mooney — who produced a 32-443-1 receiving line on 72 targets in 15 games with the Falcons in 2025 — turned in one of his best practices of the summer Tuesday, which could prompt the coaching staff to carve out more snaps for him with the first-team offense.
