Chiefs Interested In Darnell Mooney

9 months ago

The Kansas City Chiefs, among other teams, remain interested in free-agent wide receiver Darnell Mooney, who had a 1,000-yard season under Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy from their days with the Chicago Bears. Mooney put up a career-high 1,055 yards and four touchdowns on 81 receptions in 2021 with Nagy as the head coach, but he's played in just 27 games in two years since then, combining for 907 yards and three touchdowns. In 15 games last year, Mooney was pretty much invisible, catching 31 passes for 414 yards and a TD, so his fantasy stock is basically on life support, and his 1,000-yard season is looking like an outlier. However, a move to the Super Bowl-champion Chiefs would make Mooney somewhat interesting as a late-round flier in deep leagues. However, outside of Travis Kelce and Rashee Rice, Patrick Mahomes spread the ball around in last year's offense.
