The 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.
Analysis
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.

Mooney suffered a hamstring injury during Sunday's game at Denver, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Analysis
Mooney made a midweek appearance on the Falcons' Week 11 practice report with an Achilles issue but ultimately was cleared Friday. He now is dealing with a separate health concern, and if he's unable to return, he'll finish with two catches (on four targets) for 27 yards.

Mooney (Achilles) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Denver.
Analysis
Added to the injury report Thursday as a limited participant, Mooney apparently showed enough Friday to remove any doubt about his Week 11 availability. His production has been surprisingly close to that of fellow Falcons wideout Drake London, who may have to deal with shadow coverage from Broncos CB Patrick Surtain on Sunday.
Mooney was limited at Thursday's practice due to an Achilles injury, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Analysis
Mooney has been a revelation behind Atlanta's No. 1 WR Drake London this season. While he's surpassed 100 receiving yards just one time in 10 outings, Mooney has accrued a 46-684-5 line on 77 targets. Now with a health concern in tow, his status will be one to monitor as the week goes on to see if he may be in danger of sitting out Sunday at Denver.

Mooney caught five of 10 targets for 96 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Saints.
Analysis
It's the second time this season Mooney has seen double-digit targets, and the third straight game in which he's topped 80 receiving yards. The former Bear is on track for his second career 1,000-yard campaign, with the last coming back in 2021. Mooney will look to stay productive in Week 11 on the road against the Broncos.
Mooney caught five of nine targets for 88 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-21 win over the Cowboys.
Analysis
Drake London (hip) left the game after scoring a first-quarter TD, but Mooney stepped ably into the role of top target for Kirk Cousins, leading the Falcons in receiving yards on the day and capping his performance with a 36-yard score in the second quarter. Mooney has set a new career high with five touchdowns on the season, a total he could add to in Week 10 against a reeling Saints defense.
Mooney brought in five of seven targets for 92 yards and a touchdown in the Falcons' 31-26 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Analysis
Mooney led the Falcons in receiving yards and targets on the afternoon while recording a touchdown for the fourth time this season on a perfectly timed 30-yard pass from Kirk Cousins late in the second quarter. Mooney has remained healthy and turned into a steady contributor in coordinator Zac Robinson's offense, a welcome change from his previous two seasons with the Bears following an encouraging start to his career. Mooney will next take aim at the Cowboys in a Week 9 home matchup.
Mooney secured five of eight targets for 46 yards during Sunday's 34-14 loss to the Seahawks.
Analysis
Mooney saw at least eight targets for the third time this season, but his 9.2 yards per reception in Week 7 was his second-lowest mark of the campaign. With Kirk Cousins at the helm, Atlanta's passing attack has been fruitful, and Mooney has benefitted. However, Mooney remains the WR2 behind Drake London, with RB Bijan Robinson and TE Kyle Pitts also seeing their fair share of work in the passing attack.
Mooney hauled in three of five targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 38-20 win over Carolina.
Analysis
Mooney was cleared from the minor knee injury that forced him to be a limited participant in practices Wednesday and Thursday. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, the budding wideout didn't sniff last week's impressive 9-105-2 receiving line as Atlanta's rushing attack shouldered the offensive load against Carolina on Sunday. A healthy Mooney remains a viable fantasy option when the Falcons host the Seahawks next Sunday.
