Falcons HC Raheem Morris "won't commit" to Darnell Mooney Week 1 availability

Jul 29, 2025

Raheem Morris won't commit to having Darnell Mooney in the lineup Week 1 against Tampa.

"We’re going with a few weeks right now," Morris said.

Related Players: Drake London, Ray-Ray McCloud, KhaDarel Hodge, D.J. Chark

Fantasy Impact:

The initial news of this shoulder injury came on the heels of the team signing D.J. Chark to a one-year deal, which could cause further concern for Mooney, at least in the early parts of the year. Mooney is coming off a low-end WR3 season in which he popped for a few big games from time to time, so if he's sidelined, we would expect the target share to be spread pretty thin behind Drake London.

This also points to a potential larger role for Kyle Pitts.

Broncos sign WR Courtland Sutton to four-year, $92M extension

Broncos and WR Courtland Sutton have reached agreement on a four-year, $92 million extension.

Related Players: Marvin Mims, Devaughn Vele, Pat Bryant, Troy Franklin

Fantasy Impact:

Coming off a career year, Denver locks in a WR1 for Bo Nix for the immediate future. Sutton should continue to be considered a high-end WR3 for fantasy purposes, though the target share gets a little cloudy after him and tight end Evan Engram. Mims is probably the best bet to deliver in an ancillary role as ~WR5, but keep an eye on Bryant as the season progresses for a potential sneaky option.

Breaking news, Pittsburgh Steelers release old washed up Cordarrelle Patterson on his day off!!!

Related Players: Jaylen Warren, Kaleb Johnson, Kenneth Gainwell

Fantasy Impact:

Yes, this was tweeted out by C-Patt himself, and it is glorious. If we don't see Patterson suit up for another team this season, it has been a truly impressive run by one of the best hybrid players we've ever seen. This clears up a little more room for Warren and Johnson, who will look to battle it out as high-end RB3s this year.

Bears rookie WR Luther Burden present at practice in full pads

Bears rookie wide receiver Luther Burden III is present for practice and in full pads.

Fantasy Impact:

Burden's got some time here to rev up to full speed, which makes this wide receiver room incredibly interesting. The rookie has been absent due to a hamstring issue, and now has the opportunity to push the veteran Zaccheaus for a role in 3WR sets. Burden is deep down our current WR rankings, but could begin the slow climb the more he gets integrated into the offense.
