Darnell Mooney

You know, he's an elite route runner, but he's kind of a possession receiver.

Does he really move the needle? There's Darnell Mooney, who's kind of a stretch X or Z receiver.

you know, and he's got some vertical ability.

There's Jerry Judy, or you can debate what he is at this point.

tell you.

It feels like, much like the Darnell situation, I don't know if the Vikings made a great choice.

Did you know, by the way,

Let me double-check this before saying it out loud.

He has Malik Nabors, sure.

But after that, it's Malachi Fields.

It's Darnell Mooney.

Isaiah Likely, he had like 12 yards receiving this game.

So even though your numbers don't look very impressive as far as the number of quality receivers you have, your combination really of Malik neighbors, Malachi fields, and then tight end Isaiah likely basically gives you what you need.

And then, you know, Darnell Mooney is your slot guy.

So, so, you know, yeah, it's a little thin, but you basically have what you need.

I don't think you need to necessarily go and spend to get another receiver in, especially when you can get them in free agency or pick one up in the draft next year, running back.

They have Phil Mafaja on the practice squad.

So they have options there if they need to.

And oh, by the way, they've also been running some ender rounds with Darnell Mooney.

So to me, that's not as big of a need.

You know what's weird about this? In draft fantasy for like the last two years, I reckon, we've been like, geez, Zay Flowers, I wish we could really like him.

But you know, he compares in point scoring and fluctuations in scoring to a guy like Darnell Mooney, like the weirdest comparison ever.

But this year, all of a sudden, he's kind of getting his groove on and he's kind of consistent and he's about to get Lamar Jackson back.

He's $17 million and he's been making money this year.

I've never been sure exactly of this Ravens passing offense.

It's... he's done it.

Like you mentioned in Darnell Mooney style ways where it felt like he'd break out for 35 points and then he had three and it was super, I guess the complete opposite again of the fantasy schnitzel.

But do you know who's been the fucking fantasy schnitzel this year? It's been fucking Zay Flowers, Matty C.

johnson or jordan so joy jordan sorry yeah

but who would think that nobody would think that going into the season oh yeah damian pierce is going to give me two or three startable rb two weeks get the fuck out of here right so but that's never gonna i i said it on the pod this today with uh with with curdy i said you know that's never gonna happen if malik neighbors goes down it's not like darnell mooney's all of a sudden a wide receiver one No, he's not.

He's not going to be.

It's not going to happen.

Everybody called him crazy because they drafted him in front of a lot of other wide receivers that people thought were more talented.

So far, I think he has, like, catches on the year or something it's like it's not much and I don't think he's had more than two targets in a game so they seem to be doing really well like was it two years ago that they had Darnell Mooney and he kind of stepped in that wide receiver two role and really played phenomenally for that role they need to find that again because it can't just be Drake London all the time and I thought that they did find that with Zachariah Branch but Um, I don't know, apparently not.

So he was, um, the, he was a third round pick, I believe.

So it's one of those things you need to get somebody more involved.

So three picks between both your starting quarterback, J.J. McCarthy, and they had all rushes.

Who rushed 26 yards? Darnell Mooney, one rush, 20 yards.

Tyrone Tracy Jr., six rushes, 18 yards, and a touchdown.

Malik Nabors let out 12 catches, 165 yards.
