Few players in the NFL are currently as clear-cut a No. 1 receiver in their respective offenses than Chicago Bears WR Darnell Mooney. His 142 receptions in his first 2 seasons are the most of any Bears receiver in their history — and that goes back more than a tick.
With WR Allen Robinson allowed to leave in free agency, the talent behind Mooney is thin and he will be asked to be the primary guy for young franchise QB Justin Fields.
Below, we look at Darnell Mooney‘s 2022 fantasy football average draft position (ADP) and where you should draft him.
Mooney’s 81 receptions last year were more than double Robinson’s and the rest of the wide receiver group is far more unproven and unpolished. His ability to run smooth routes and his speed before and after the catch make him an intriguing fantasy prospect because the Bears will be designing plays to get him the ball a lot and take advantage of single coverage.
