The Atlanta Falcons have a talented core of playmakers on offense but things didn’t click early in the season. That all changed in Week 5 as Kirk Cousins passed for a career-high 509 yards in the team’s overtime win against the Buccaneers.
Wide receivers Drake London and Darnell Mooney combined for 21 catches, 259 receiving yards and three touchdowns on Thursday night. London and Mooney have quickly become one of the most productive duos in the league, however, another top receiver has become available.
The struggling Las Vegas Raiders are looking to move veteran Davante Adams. With the team sitting in last place in the AFC West, a trade makes sense for both parties.
Adams, 31, has been voted first-team All-Pro three times and made six Pro Bowls over 11 NFL seasons. The former second-round pick has 890 catches, 10,990 receiving yards and 96 touchdowns in 153 career games.
The Raiders are reportedly seeking a second-round pick in return for Adams. Should the Falcons trade for the disgruntled wideout? Cast your vote in our latest fan poll below:
Mooney was limited during Wednesday’s practice due to a knee injury. If he’s unable to play against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, the Falcons will look to Ray-Ray McCloud and KhaDarel Hodge to step up.
Hodge caught the game-winning touchdown pass from Cousins in Thursday’s 36-30 overtime win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
