BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
OWNED IN: 38% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: If there has been ample talk about whether Allen Robinson II's season is pretty much thrown down the sink because of poor quarterbacking alone, imagine what should be made of WR2 Darnell Mooney... Are we sure about that, though? Andy Dalton is still out, Justin Fields put up a dud a week ago, then had a bad-not-nightmarish outing this Sunday, and HC Matt Naggy seems to have found a way to at least help the rookie QB distribute the ball some, which undoubtedly helped Mooney yesterday and should keep it that way going forward.
Mooney's upside, truth be told, was ultra-murdered a week ago as Fields went on to pass him the ball four times in a disastrous 6-of-20 passing night for the rook. Obviously, Mooney could only catch one of those throws for 9 yards and a putrid 1.9 PPR point score. The Dalton-Fields platoon from Week 2 was bad, but not horrid, so Mooney somehow reached 12.6 PPR points back then with an 8-6-66 line. Then, yesterday, and although Fields wasn't anything remotely otherworldly, Mooney put up a sound 18.5 fantasy points that allowed him to finish as a WR2 and 15th-best wideout in Week 4 (pending MNF).
With a fantastic receiving line reading 5-of-7 catches for 125 yards and an even better single carry for 10 rushing yards, Mooney only lacked the well-deserved touchdown he missed on getting against the Lions. Mooney has yet to get into the end zone in possession of the ball, but he's going to get in there sooner or later. The Bears' offense sucks, that's obvious. That's also what makes Mooney just a deep-league asset to roster and start, as the shakiness of the quarterback play is way too high thus making Mooney a super-volatile boom/bust player these days.
