News: 7 days agoThe hamstring injury that forced Mooney out of Sunday's 38-6 loss to the Broncos isn't viewed as serious, a source tells Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com.

Spin: Atlanta could send Mooney in for an MRI just to ensure he's not dealing with anything more than a mild strain of his hamstring, but the wideout may not have to miss any time because of the injury. Mooney will benefit from a well-timed Week 12 bye, giving him added time to heal before the Falcons return to action Sunday, Dec. 1 versus the Chargers. Mooney finished the loss to Denver with two catches for 27 yards on four targets while playing a season-low 58 percent of the Falcons' offensive snaps due to the injury.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Mooney had a highly disappointing campaign for the Bears thanks to injuries and playing in Chicago's offense, but he'll get a fresh start in Atlanta, where he's expected to be a deep threat alongside Drake London and Kyle Pitts for new quarterback Kirk Cousins. Mooney had just 31 catches for 414 yards and one touchdown in a lost season, but he should be unchallenged as the WR2 in Atlanta. If he can stay healthy, Mooney could be primed for a breakout season in Atlanta's high-powered air attack ,making him a strong sleeper option for his new team.
