    "writeup": "Among qualified wide receivers, nobody caught a lower share of his targets than Mooney's 44.4 percent last season, and the miss against opportunity was nearly as stark: 110.8 expected half-PPR points, 66.3 scored, the third-largest shortfall we measured. Route depth explains part of it, since a 14.2-yard aDOT in the 93rd percentile always suppresses catch rate, but not the whole thing, because his 6.9 percent drop rate ranked 13th-worst at the position. He was on the field for 82 percent of Atlanta's snaps, so the opportunity was real and the conversion is what failed. That history is exactly why the Giants move is interesting. New York reportedly plans to use him as the lead slot receiver, and slot work directly attacks a catch-rate problem built on 14-yard throws, in a role that has produced heavy, stable target volume in that offense for two straight seasons. At WR80 in half-PPR, around pick 210, he costs a bit less than his WR74 projection, and the rebound case is genuine so long as the drops were a symptom of the old deep role rather than a fixed feature of his hands.",
