Darnell Mooney Still Progressing From Ankle Injury
2 years agoChicago Bears head coach Matt Eberflus said that wide receiver Darnell Mooney (ankle) is still "progressing" from his ankle injury and isn't taking part in organized team activities this week. "This is a voluntary time for all the players. Some players have certain things going on," Eberflus said. Mooney suffered a season-ending left ankle injury in Week 12 last year and required surgery. He finished the 2022 campaign with 40 catches on 61 targets for 493 yards and two touchdowns. The 25-year-old should still have a big role in the passing game once he's back to full health, but the addition of DJ Moore and Chase Claypool will make his fantasy ceiling much lower in 2023. Mooney can still be a big-play asset for quarterback Justin Fields, but he won't be as attractive in PPR fantasy leagues.
