Darnell Mooney A Weak Option For Week 16

11 months ago

Chicago Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney had an opportunity to achieve the unthinkable in Week 15 by catching a last-second Hail Mary against the Browns, but he couldn't secure the catch despite the ball falling into his hands. The 26-year-old caught just two of eight targets for 14 yards and was held to under five PPR points for the seventh time this year. It's been a challenging season for Mooney, who hasn't scored a touchdown since Week 1, despite typically playing 85-90% of the snaps. The Bears have maintained a run-first approach throughout the year, with DJ Moore and Cole Kmet commanding the majority of the receiving volume. In Week 16, facing the Cardinals who allow the 13th-most points per game to receivers this season, it might be better to explore other options unless Mooney finds a more consistent role.
