Darnell Mooney Expected To Be Ready For Training Camp

Published: Jun 07, 2023 at 06:51 PM
Chicago Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney (ankle) suffered a broken ankle in the Week 12 game against the New York Jets, effectively ending his 2022 season. The Tulane product finished the year with 40 receptions for 493 yards and two touchdowns. Bears head coach Matt Eberflus said "Darnell is working his tail off. He's on track. He'll be ready (for training camp)." This is great news for his early-season availability, and he'll be moved to a more natural WR2 role in 2023 with the arrival of DJ Moore. The Bears are expected to take a step forward on offense, so Mooney could have boom weeks. That said, the team will still likely have one of the most run-heavy offensive attacks, so there's a good chance he's not a weekly producer. His best fantasy value will likely be in best-ball formats.
