Giants' Darnell Mooney: Hauls in just two of five targets Week 10
Mooney caught two of five targets for eight yards Thursday in a loss to Washington.
Mooney logged the third-most targets of any New York pass catcher, but he managed just two short receptions. Efficiency has been an issue for the veteran wideout throughout the campaign, as he's hauled in only 14 of 30 targets through nine contests. Mooney has finished with fewer than 10 yards in four of his past six appearances, so he's not a viable fantasy play at the moment.

Giants' Darnell Mooney: Upgrades to full practice
Mooney (chest) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Listed as a limited participant for Monday's walk-through practice, Mooney took every rep a day later to erase any concern about his status heading into Thursday's game against the Commanders. The veteran wideout has played more than 50 percent of the offensive snaps in all but one of the Giants' eight games to date, but he exceeded two receptions and 50 receiving yards for the first time all season in this past Sunday's 19-11 win over the Eagles. He remains a relatively unappealing fantasy option while receiver Malik Nabers and tight end Isaiah Likely are locked in as the Giants' clear top two pass catchers.

Giants' Darnell Mooney: Considered limited Monday
Mooney (chest) was estimated to be a limited participant at the Giants' walkthrough practice Monday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.
Mooney reeled in a season-high three passes for 54 yards and also had a rush for minus-4 yards during Sunday's 19-11 win over the Eagles. The wide receiver may have picked up a chest injury during the victory, and as a result, he was considered to be less than 100 percent Monday. Mooney will have two more chances to be upgraded to a full participant prior to Thursday night's matchup with the Commanders.

Giants' Darnell Mooney: One catch in victory
Mooney caught one of three targets for four yards and rushed once for three yards during Sunday's 27-21 overtime win against the Texans.
Mooney was held to one or zero catches for the third time in four weeks, and he has yet to exceed two receptions in a contest this season. The wide receiver will continue to be an unattractive fantasy option when the Giants return to action Week 9 against the Eagles.

Giants' Darnell Mooney: Churns out full practice
Mooney (neck) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Mooney wasn't cleared to return to this past Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Saints after injuring his neck in the fourth quarter, but he evidently responded well to treatment and faced no restrictions as the Giants returned to the field to begin Week 7 prep. With Malik Nabers and Isaiah Likely demanding most of the looks in the passing game this season, Mooney has struggled to carve out consistent weekly volume. Through six appearances, Mooney has been targeted 19 times and has recorded an 8-109-0 receiving line while also adding 29 yards on two carries.

Giants' Darnell Mooney: Questionable with neck issue
Mooney (neck) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Saints, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.
Mooney sustained a neck injury in the second half of Sunday's game. The wide receiver will need to be thoroughly vetted for a significant injury before potentially being allowed to return to the contest. Charlie Jones will operate as the Giants' No. 3 wide receiver while Mooney is absent.

Giants' Darnell Mooney: Full practice Thursday
Mooney (neck) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Barring a setback, Mooney will play in Week 6 versus the Saints. However, the 28-year-old hasn't been productive in his five regular-season appearances in 2026, amassing eight receptions (17 targets) for 109 yards.

Giants' Darnell Mooney: Limited by neck injury
Mooney (neck) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Mooney may have tweaked his neck during the Giants' 27-27 tie to the Commanders in Week 5, when caught two of seven targets for 14 yards. He'll have two more opportunities to increase his practice participation and avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Saints. Mooney has just eight catches (on 17 targets) for 109 yards through five games and has taken a back seat in the passing game behind Malik Nabers and tight end Isaiah Likely.

Giants' Darnell Mooney: Totals 29 yards vs. Tennessee
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 regular season, and his 95 receiving yards are third-most on the Giants behind Isaiah Likely (124) and Malik Nabers (96). The Giants will stay home for Week 4 against the Cardinals, whose defense has given up the second-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season.

Giants' Darnell Mooney: Leading receiver in loss
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.

Giants' Darnell Mooney: Two catches in Week 1
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.
