It has been a tough season for Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney.

After posting one of the best seasons of his career in 2024, Mooney has just 388 yards and one touchdown through 13 games this season

So, it comes as no surprise that Mooney is off to a lackluster start in the Week 17 game against the Los Angeles Rams.

Here's a closer look at what's going on.

Is Darnell Mooney playing tonight?

Yes, Mooney is active and healthy, but he didn't have much of a chance to get going on the first Falcons drive after Atlanta went three-and-out.

We'd like to say Mooney will get going soon, but after what we've seen this season, there is zero guarantee that will happen.
