5 things you may not know about Darnell Mooney Receiver Darnell Mooney has been one of the biggest surprises for the Bears this season. Here are five things you may not know about him.

OCTOBER 28, 2020 • CHICAGOBEARS.COM

Leads team in targets Mooney caught three passes on seven targets for 40 yards in Chicago's 24-10 loss to the Rams on Monday.

Impact With the Bears trailing for most of the game, Mooney saw three deep passes, but he was unable to haul in any of them. He actually was open for a potential 95-yard touchdown, but Nick Foles was under heavy pressure and he was unable to get the ball out on time. Even though his production hasn't been impressive during his rookie season, Mooney is averaging 6.5 targets over his last four games, and if he can get on the same page with his quarterback, he could see an increase in fantasy value as the season progresses.

Targeted five times in win Mooney caught three passes for 36 yards in the Bears' 23-16 victory over the Panthers on Sunday.

Impact Mooney continues to be the second -most utilized receiver on the Bears after Allen Robinson, but he's only surpassed 36 yards in one game. Until he begins to show a bit more consistency, he'll continue to be a depth option for fantasy managers.

Targeted five times in victory Mooney caught two passes for 15 yards in the Bears' 20-19 win over the Buccaneers on Thursday.

Impact In the first half, Mooney ran a great route and was wide open for a potential touchdown, but Nick Foles threw an uncatchable pass, keeping the rookie from a big performance. In addition, Mooney saw a couple other deep targets, but neither of the passes were particularly close to being completed. Regardless, he's been playing the second-most snaps of the Chicago receivers, and he's been targeted at least five times in each of the last three games, and he could see his fantasy value grow as the season goes forward.

Ready to rock Mooney (shoulder) is officially active for Thursday's matchup against Tampa Bay.

Impact Mooney came into the contest questionable despite suiting up as a full practice participant throughout the week, so this news isn't surprising. The rookie is coming off a career-high five catches and 52 yards across nine targets in last week's loss to the Colts. Mooney will continue his role as the team's punt return man and piece of the offense, as he's averaging 5.7 targets per game this season.

Technically considered questionable Mooney (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against Tampa Bay, despite being listed as a full practice participant each day this week.

Impact The Bears presumably would list Mooney as 'probable' if the designation still existed. The rookie wideout should be available Thursday night, coming off season highs for targets (nine), catches (five) and yards (52) in Sunday's 19-11 loss to the Colts. Mooney landed between 60 and 74 percent snap share the past three weeks, averaging 5.7 targets per game in the process.

No rally this time as Foles struggles, Bears lose to Colts

Chicago Bears quarterback Nick Foles could stage no magical comeback against the Indianapolis Colts

OCTOBER 5, 2020 • Associated Press

Career-high in targets and yards Mooney caught five passes for 52 yards in the Bears' 19-11 loss to the Colts on Sunday.

Impact With Nick Foles getting his first start as the Chicago quarterback, it was clear that the coaching staff wanted to use Mooney as a downfield threat. He had an impressive 33-yard reception and was also targeted deep on two other occasions, but in each case the pass was uncatchable. Since the start of the season, Mooney has seen the most wide receiver snaps on the team after Allen Robinson, and there's a chance that his increased volume the past two weeks could lead to the rookie breaking out soon.

Targeted five times Mooney caught two passes for 19 yards in Chicago's 30-26 victory over the Falcons on Sunday.

Impact After posting at least 36 yards in each of his first two games, Mooney actually saw a season-high five targets, but he also posted his lowest yardage total of the season. Despite his low yardage total in this contest, his target volume makes him a player who can be considered as a possible flex option.

Scores first career touchdown Mooney caught all three of his targets for 36 yards and a touchdown in Chicago's 17-13 victory over the Giants on Sunday.

Impact With Ted Ginn a healthy scratch, Mooney again saw significant work as an outside receiver, and it's beginning to look as if the rookie will have a prominent role in the offense. He was fortunate on his touchdown reception, as Mitchell Trubisky threw the ball across the field, and Mooney was able to secure the football just before the defender could make a play. Mooney has been targeted three times while posting over 35 yards in each contest to start the season, and he's frequently seeing single coverage playing across the field from Allen Robinson, which will give him a chance to post regular production. At this point, he's a player that fantasy managers should consider adding to rosters as a depth piece in the hopes he can boost his target volume in the upcoming weeks.

Impressive debut Mooney caught all three of his targets for 38 yards in Chicago's 27-23 victory over the Lions on Sunday.

Impact With Chicago trailing by multiple scores throughout the second half, Mooney saw regular work in three-receiver sets, and he ended the day as the team's third leading receiver. Based on this solid performance, he's a player that fantasy managers may consider adding to their benches with the hopes of streaming him in games that the Bears are likely to throw the ball often.
