Darnell Mooney Totals 44 Yards In Win

12 months ago

Chicago Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney has faced a challenging season, lacking touchdowns since Week 1 and exceeding 50 yards in just three games. Week 14 saw the 26-year-old match his season-high target count from Week 1 with seven, but he only managed two catches for 44 yards in the team's 28-13 win over the Lions. While it marked his first game in four with over 30 yards, the significant targets hint at untapped potential. With DJ Moore leading the passing game and Cole Kmet as a secondary option, Mooney struggles to secure a consistent role in a run-focused team. In Week 15 against the Browns, who allow the second-fewest points to receivers, Mooney's reliance on big plays or touchdowns positions him better for the bench unless he establishes a more dependable role in the offense, making his fantasy outlook uncertain heading into the crucial matchups.
