Expectations are high for former 5th round pick Darnell Mooney heading into the season. The speedster was able to eclipse 1,000 receiving yards last season. This impressive as Mooney dealt with 2 different quarterbacks, one of which was finding his way in his rookie season. Having to build chemistry with Andy Dalton and Justin Fields was not an easy task for Darnell Mooney. Somehow, Darnell Mooney still exceeded expectations and had an incredible season.
Last season, Mooney had a 27% target share, which was 10th highest among all wide receivers. Former Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson has left in free agency and joined the Los Angeles Rams. Mooney already dominated the target share last season and will do so again in his second year with Justin Fields at quarter back. Chicago has no other wide receiver talented enough to take targets away from Darnell Mooney. Mooney is yet again setup to have a very large target share. Chicago’s defense will be nothing to write home about, so the Bears will be playing form behind quite a bit.
Darnell Mooney 2022-2023 NFL Season Betting Lock
Darnell Mooney’s receiving yards for the season are set at 950.5. Mooney now has much better chemistry with Justin Fields and is the clear number one wideout on the team. Mooney should have no problem hitting 1,000 receiving yards again. I am on the over 950.5 receiving yards for Darnell Mooney. This will be his breakout season. This may be my most confident bet of the season as long as Darnell stays healthy.
