BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 42% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: I don't think the Chicago Bears offense is salvageable at this point, but for what it is, and with rookie QB Justin Fields finally shaking off some of the growing pains, are we looking at a relatively nice play in the likes of Darnel Mooney and Allen Robinson III ROS? That could be the case, though the results have been so bouncy that it's probably not worth paying too much for any of those in shallower formats.
Looking at Mooney's 2021 game log can drive you absolutely crazy, even more, if you have had shares of the wideout: he's gone on to score 7 to 12 to 2 to 18 to 6 to 15 to 6 to 12 PPR points in the past eight weeks. If numbers don't paint the right picture, this does: /\/\/\/. At least that last line ended on the upper side of things, which yes, means Mooney is coming off a kinda-good game this past Week 8.
Mooney was able to get 9 targets while grabbing 6 of them for 64 yards. That's a good line to summarize Mooney's season to date, as he's nearly averaging a year-long 7-5-57 line on receiving stats. Yes, he's just off his best game of the season in terms of catches and targets, but the yardage was reasonable/sustainable and at reach if he puts up that 7-target, 5-reception line going forward. Don't make Mooney a priority to roster in shallower leagues, but surely target him if you play any sort of deeper format.
