Darnell Mooney Finishes With 82 Yards In Loss To Saints

one year ago

Chicago Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney faced a challenging stretch of games but finally found his stride in the team's 24-17 loss to the Saints. The 26-year-old hauled in five catches on six targets for 82 yards, marking new season-highs in both categories. This game marked the first time this season that Mooney exceeded 53 receiving yards and broke a seven-game streak of finishing with fewer than 10 double-digit PPR points. Looking ahead, there's the possibility of Justin Fields (thumb) returning in Week 10, potentially elevating the ceiling of the Bears' passing attack, even though their chemistry hasn't always been consistent this year. The Bears take on the Panthers in Week 10, who allow the seventh-fewest points per game to receivers this season. Mooney might be more of a stash option for now until he demonstrates greater consistency.
