If Mooney Misses Time
Next man up: Braxton Berrios
Braxton Berrios is next on the Giants depth chart at wide receiver. The targets would likely spread across the offense rather than pass to one player, so he's a waiver add only if Mooney misses time.
Who else it affects
His absence would move work to the rest of the offense, and Jameis Winston would lose one of his main options.
