Darnell Mooney Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.

Bears WR Darnell Mooney (groin) is active for today’s game against the Browns. He was limited in practice all week and listed as questionable, so he comes with a bit more risk than usual in Week 3 fantasy lineups.

Bears WR Darnell Mooney (groin) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Browns. He was listed as questionable the past 2 weeks -- but that was with a back issue. We’ll get Mooney’s game status by noon ET on Sunday.

Bears WR Darnell Mooney (back) is active for today’s game vs. the Bengals. He was listed as questionable but put in a full week of practice, so the back shouldn’t be an issue. Mooney has a plus matchup vs. the Bengals CBs, but his upside is capped with Andy Dalton under center. WR Marquise Goodwin (quad) is also active for Chicago after being listed as questionable.

Bears WR Darnell Mooney (back) put in a full week of practice but is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals. He was "questionable" last week and ended up playing 100% of Chicago's offensive snaps. He'll be out there on Sunday but is a shaky fantasy option with Andy Dalton under center. WR Marquise Goodwin (quad) is also listed as questionable but should play after practicing in full all week.

Bears WR Darnell Mooney (back) is active for tonight’s game against the Rams. He put in a full practice on Friday, so we’re not overly concerned about the back. But the matchup vs. a tough Rams secondary leaves Mooney as a low-floor Week 1 fantasy play.

Bears WR Darnell Mooney (back) is expected to play vs. the Rams tonight, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Mooney is listed as questionable but put in a full practice on Friday, so the back doesn't seem like a real concern.

Bears WR Darnell Mooney (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday night's game vs. the Rams. He got in a full practice on Friday, though, so expect him to play. Mooney has some breakout potential this season but is a shaky fantasy play vs. a tough Rams secondary.

Bears WR Darnell Mooney drew praise from HC Matt Nagy for his training camp performance. “Mooney is on fire with his route-running,” Nagy said via ESPN. “He’s running some routes right now that I really hadn’t seen him running. He’s putting his own spin and stamp on more routes.” Mooney’s already a speedster — he blazed a 4.38-forty in the 2020 pre-draft process. So improved route-running only adds to his 2021 breakout case. We love Mooney’s big-play potential, especially once Chicago makes the move to Justin Fields.

The Athletic's Adam Jahns expects the Bears offense to feature more deep passes this season. "[HC Matt] Nagy’s offense has always been vertical," Jahns writes. "His practices in the offseason program and camp have featured plenty of shots down the field, including this year with [Andy] Dalton and [Justin] Fields in OTAs and minicamp. Nagy wants to be aggressive down the field. It’s in his playbook and in his nature as a coach and play-caller." QB Mitchell Trubisky struggled throwing deep over the past few seasons -- but it's a strength of Fields' game. More deep shots would be particularly good news for speedy WR Darnell Mooney.
