Darnell Mooney A Risky Play In Week 10

Darnell Mooney A Risky Play In Week 10

one year ago

Chicago Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney is coming off his most impressive game of the year since Week 1, recording five catches for 82 yards in the team's 24-17 loss to the Saints. The 26-year-old played a season-high 87% of the snaps and showcased his big-play ability with a 38-yard reception. Justin Fields (thumb) is doubtful for Thursday Night Football, but Mooney has grappled with inconsistency regardless of the quarterback. Tyson Bagent is expected to start, and the Bears' passing attack is notably limited with the undrafted rookie at the helm. The matchup is less than ideal, as the Panthers have allowed the fifth-fewest PPR points per game to wide receivers this season. It may be best to keep Mooney on your bench until he can offer more consistent performances.
