Bears WR Darnell Mooney (ankle) Is Out For The Season.
Matt Eberflus confirmed the news when he announced that the ankle injury Mooney suffered in Week 12 would be season-ending. He added that Mooney’s injury may require surgery.
The 25-year-old ends a disappointing season with a receiving line of 40-493-2. He’ll go down as one of fantasy’s biggest disappointments.
It’s a small boost for the Cole Kmet’s (6 targets) and Chase Claypool’s (5 targets) of the world – but no Chicago pass catcher can be trusted until Justin Fields returns. On tap week 13? The Green Bay Packers.
Free Agent Replacements:
Zay Jones: Last 2 games – 24 targets, 19 catches, 213 yards
Treylon Burks: 6+ targets in 3 straight games
Mack Hollins: 94%+ snap share & 5+ targets in 3 straight games
