The gap

  • Board size302 draftable players

Draft data is not current for these two, so the figures that depend on it are left out. The call above comes from each player's usage.

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Dohnte Meyers, and the board ranks him 58th overall on the rest of his evidence.

Our board does not carry Darnell Mooney at all right now: live drafts have stopped taking him and there is no player market on him this week, so he has no rank, no tier and no ADP here.

The market-based projections

Dohnte Meyers's market-based projection is 4.4 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 11 market sources. That is the 59th highest figure of the 212 players with a market-based projection.

No season market is posted for Darnell Mooney, so the only market valuing him on this page is the draft room.

This season so far

Through Week 8, Dohnte Meyers has been on the field for 45 percent of CIN snaps, drawn 9 percent of the targets and had 3 percent of the red zone chances.

He has taken 6 of the offence's 61 third down targets, had 1 of its 17 chances inside the five and seen 5 of its 43 two minute targets.

His 23 targets have averaged 5.3 air yards.

In Week 5 against MIA he caught 2 of 2 targets for 12 yards and did not score.

In Week 7 against BAL he caught 0 of 2 targets for 0 yards and did not score.

In Week 8 against TEN he caught 3 of 3 targets for 34 yards and did not score.

Through Week 7, Darnell Mooney has been on the field for 55 percent of NYG snaps, drawn 9 percent of the targets and had 0 percent of the red zone chances.

He has taken 9 of the offence's 61 third down targets, had 0 of its 13 chances inside the five and seen 3 of its 32 two minute targets.

His 22 targets have averaged 13.6 air yards.

In Week 5 against WAS he caught 2 of 7 targets for 14 yards and did not score.

In Week 6 against NO he carried 1 time for 20 yards, caught 0 of 2 targets for 0 yards and did not score.

In Week 7 against HOU he carried 1 time for 3 yards, caught 1 of 3 targets for 4 yards and did not score.

Their 2025 seasons

Dohnte Meyers is a rookie, so there is no NFL season behind him to price him against.

In 2025 Darnell Mooney played 15 games and scored 82.3 PPR points, 5.5 a game, finishing WR79.

He caught 32 of 72 targets for 443 yards and 1 touchdown, with 7 red zone targets.

That came to 4.8 targets a game, a 44 percent catch rate and 13.8 yards a catch.

He was on the field for 82 percent of the snaps in the games he played.

Head to head

This season Darnell Mooney holds the bigger snap share, 55 percent against 45 percent.

Their target share this season is the same, 9 percent each.

What would change the answer

Darnell Mooney has no posted market, so one half of the evidence on this page exists for only one of them.
