CHI WR Darnell Mooney - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. New York Giants

Darnell Mooney had another five-reception game last week. Mooney has played in 15 games, and in eight of those games he's finished with exactly five receptions. It's even weirder when you shorten the time frame as Mooney has five games with exactly five receptions in his last six games. The yardage is all over the place in those games, though, as he has three 100-yard games with five receptions and two games below 30 receiving yards with five receptions. Long story short, you can likely expect around five receptions from Mooney again this week as he faces the Giants. New York has given up the 7th-most receptions to wide receivers this year. Although with Allen Robinson's return, some of those targets may go elsewhere this week. Mooney should be viewed as a WR3 as he heads into Week 17.

CHI WR Darnell Mooney - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at Seattle Seahawks

Darnell Mooney played well with Allen Robinson out of the lineup, finishing 5-63 on seven targets. It's his ninth game this season with at least five receptions, although the yards haven't always been there. Mooney has three games of 120+ receiving yards, but in the 11 other games, he's averaged under 40 receiving yards. He's set to have a lower production game this week as he gets a tough matchup vs. the Seahawks, and Robinson is expected to rejoin the team. We have Mooney projected around the WR3 range heading into Week 16.

CHI WR Darnell Mooney - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs. Minnesota Vikings

Darnell Mooney had as many tackles as receptions last week: one. Mooney finished with just one reception for 19 yards off of five targets. Mooney has had some strong games this season, but he's also had plenty of duds, with six games below 40 receiving yards (and one more with 41). While Mooney has had some duds, he's mostly found success with Allen Robinson out of the lineup, which will likely be the case this week as A-Rob has been placed on the COVID list. In addition, Mooney faces a favorable Vikings defense as Minnesota has given up the most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season. Mooney can be viewed as a lower-end WR2 or a strong WR3 play in Week 15.

CHI WR Darnell Mooney - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 @ Green Bay Packers

The Bears really spread the ball around last week as five players saw at least seven targets. Mooney was among them, but he wasn't overly productive with a 5-27-0 game. It was a letdown game after Mooney had put up back-to-back 100-yard efforts in the two games prior. But the good news is his seven targets and five receptions mean he's still a top option in this offense, especially with Allen Robinson sidelined. However, it does appear as if Robinson will return this week, but Mooney was playing well with A-Rob active as well. Mooney might take a slight hit with Robinson's return, but he's still a decent WR3 play in Week 14. Mooney will face the Packers, a team he played well against earlier in the year with a 5-45-1 stat line.

CHI WR Darnell Mooney - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs. Arizona Cardinals

Darnell Mooney has excelled in Allen Robinson's absence, putting up back-to-back 100-yard games the last two weeks. In fact, he's had nearly identical stat lines the past two weeks, finishing 5-121 and 5-123. He faces an interesting matchup against the Cardinals this week. Arizona has allowed the fourth-fewest receiving yards to WRs this year, but has allowed the seventh-most touchdowns. Overall, Arizona is a tough matchup for wideouts, but with Robinson likely missing another week, we'd expect Mooney to see plenty of targets again. He may not be able to extend his 100-yard streak, but Mooney should still be viewed as a solid WR2 play in Week 13.

CHI WR Darnell Mooney - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at Detroit Lions

Allen Robinson was inactive last week so the Bears threw the ball to Darnell Mooney nearly every play. Mooney saw a ridiculous 16 targets, which ended up being a 47% target share. He had a horrid catch percentage, catching just five of his six targets, but he was still very productive with 121 yards and a touchdown. We'd expect the Bears to lean more on the ground this week, so we'd be surprised if Mooney saw 16 targets again. But if Robinson is out, Mooney should still see a high target share, and would likely be able to finish with a higher catch percentage. He does get a tough matchup vs. the Lions, who have given up the second-fewest receptions to wide receivers this season. Still, Mooney should get plenty of looks, making him a solid WR2 play, assuming Robinson (hamstring) is unable to go.

CHI WR Darnell Mooney - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs. Baltimore Ravens

UPDATE: Allen Robinson has been ruled out, so expect to see some more targets than usual for Mooney in Week 11.

Darnell Mooney had a great outing in the Bears' last game in Week 9. Mooney caught 3-of-6 targets for 41 yards and a touchdown while also rushing for a 15-yard touchdown. Mooney has had a steady role in the offense, seeing at least five targets in every game but one. He's been the most productive Bears WR this year, leading the team in receptions (36), targets (59), receiving yards (450) and receiving touchdowns (2). Expect him to maintain his role as a solid WR3 play this week in a fairly tough matchup vs. the Ravens. Mooney's biggest hurdle is finding enough production in a Bears offense averaging around 170 pass yards per game under Justin Fields.
