Darnell Mooney

Darnell Mooney led all WRs in Week 3 with a 38% target share. It still didn't matter with Mooney finishing the week as the WR78 catching 2 passes for 23 yards. Mooney's alpha usage won't matter till the Bears extend an effort to throw more. And that doesn't seem likely based on the success they have had rushing the football at the league's highest rate. The Giants have also been stingy versus opposing WRs allowing the second-fewest fantasy points per game to the position this season.

Darnell Mooney gains 23 yards in Week 3 win

Darnell Mooney was targeted a team-high six times in Week 3. He reeled in two catches for 23 yards in the 23-20 win over the Texans.

Fantasy Impact

Usually, a 35 percent target share would be impressive but when your quarterback only attempts 17 throws it results in two catches for 23 yards. Mooney has only 11 targets through three games for a total of four receptions for 27 yards. He should be nowhere near a fantasy starting lineup and is a potential drop candidate.
