Chicago Bears Fantasy Football: Darnell Mooney preview and outlook

The Chicago Bears 2020 rookie wide receiver out of Tulane University was a pleasant surprise to a lot of people, especially with the involvement early on for the fifth-rounder. As the 24th selected WR out of the 2020 rookie class, Mooney finished seventh in targets and ninth in fantasy points. Where will he finish among his peers in 2021 though?

Coming into his sophomore season, Darnell Mooney is set to be the WR2 for the Bears behind Allen Robinson, and is a player many are hoping to continue to develop and grow in this system and as an individual player. According to Adam Jahns of The Athletic, Mooney looked “more polished and explosive” throughout the OTA’s (organized team activities) reported in July. Many have been excited to hear about his route running and how often he has fooled defensive backs.
