According to Dan Pompei of The Athletic, WR Darnell Mooney has bulked up from the “low 170s” to 183 and is focusing on stamina training for a bigger role in the new Chicago Bears offense.
Fantasy Impact: The Bears went out with the old and in with the new this offseason – whether that’s the front office, coaches or players. And in a new offense led by offensive coordinator Luke Getsy, Mooney is looking to be even more involved. There’s a focus on making the third-year WR more dynamic in alignment, “going from outside to the slot, on the ball to off the ball and sending him in motion before the snap.” After being top five in snaps and top 10 in targets last season among wideouts, Mooney is currently going as the WR24 in PPR formats, according to FantasyPros average draft position. If QB Justin Fields takes a step forward and more life is found in Chicago’s offense, Mooney has the potential to surpass that mark as the team’s top receiver.
