Comes up big in season finale
Mooney caught 12 passes for 126 yards in the Bears' 31-17 Week 18 loss to the Vikings, and he ended the season with 81 receptions 1,054 yards and four touchdowns.
Analysis: Despite the Bears having a mostly anemic passing attack throughout the season, Mooney showed that he's on his way to becoming a star player. On four occasions, he recorded more than 120 yards, and although he had just four receiving scores, the lack of touchdowns had more to do with the lack of quality at quarterback than his talent. He'll enter the third year of his four-year rookie deal in 2022, and he could certainly be drafted as a top-30 receiver next summer.

Leads team in receiving
Mooney caught seven passes for 69 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 29-3 win over the Giants on Sunday.
Analysis: Mooney scored his touchdown in the first quarter, but even with the Bears winning in a blowout before halftime, he continued seeing passes from Andy Dalton after intermission. As the clear lead receiver, Mooney's 13 targets were more than double the amount of any of his teammates. With at least 57 yards in each of his last three games, he'll remain an excellent floor play in Week 18 against the Vikings.

Leads team with nine targets
Mooney caught five passes on nine targets for 57 yards while adding a two-yard rush in the Bears' 25-24 win over the Seahawks on Sunday.
Analysis: Mooney had fewer than 10 yards with a couple minutes left in the third quarter, but with the team mounting a late comeback, he had a productive finish to the game. Earlier in the contest, Nick Foles struggled to get the ball to his top receiver, underthrowing him on a couple occasions and simply not seeing him on other plays. With a fair chance of the Bears getting back Justin Fields or Andy Dalton in Week 17, Mooney will be in position to take advantage of a middling matchup against the Giants.

Efficient performance in defeat
Mooney caught five passes for 63 yards in the Bears' 17-9 loss to the Vikings on Monday.
Analysis: Mooney caught three of his passes on third downs in the first half, which helped the Bears extend drives, but the team otherwise went with a run-heavy approach, and he disappeared for most of the second and third quarters. Even on the first fourth-quarter drive in which the Bears drove down the field through the air, the only target Mooney saw was an overthrown ball in the end zone on which he was unable to stay in bounds. On the next drive, he had another chance for a score, but the pass again…read more

Disappointing performance
Mooney caught one pass on five targets for 19 yards in the Bears' 45-30 loss to the Packers on Sunday.
Analysis: Aside from a pair of improbable receptions by Damiere Byrd and Jakeem Grant, the Bears' passing attack struggled to find consistent success, and Mooney was unable to do much against a Green Bay secondary that rarely gave him room to operate. Although he was targeted five times, his target total fell behind David Montgomery and Allen Robinson. Over the last two games, Mooney's posted his worst performances since Week 3, but his talent and role in the offense should lead to a rebound in the…read more

Struggles in loss
Mooney caught five passes for 27 yards in the Bears' 33-22 loss to the Cardinals on Sunday.
Analysis: Between the Cardinals rolling coverage toward Chicago's top receiver along with Andy Dalton having very little time to throw, Mooney was unable to get anything going downfield. With the Bears playing from behind in the fourth quarter, Mooney was able to catch four of his five passes on the day to provide his fantasy managers with a decent floor performance. Going forward, Mooney could easily perform as a top-30 wide receiver as the lead receiver for the Bears, and he could see extra space to…read more

Huge effort in Thanksgiving win
Mooney caught five of eight targets for 123 yards in a 16-14 win over the Lions on Thanksgiving.
Analysis: With Allen Robinson (hamstring) out for a second straight game and Marquise Goodwin (foot) exiting early Thursday, Mooney was left as Andy Dalton's only reliable option at wideout, and the second-year speedster took full advantage by topping 120 yards for the second straight game and the third time this season. He could have trouble keeping that streak going in Week 13, however. In addition to a tough matchup against the Cardinals and the potential return of Robinson cutting into his…read more

Cleared for Thursday
Mooney (foot), who was listed as a limited participant on all three of the Bears' Week 12 practice reports, doesn't have a designation for Thursday's contest at Detroit.
Analysis: Meanwhile, No. 1 wide receiver Allen Robinson (hamstring) didn't practice and was listed as doubtful for a second week in a row, signaling that he'll likely miss another game. During last week's loss to the Ravens, Mooney notched a career-high 16 targets and turned them into five catches for 121 yards and one touchdown. Starting quarterback Justin Fields left in the second half of Sunday's game due to bruised ribs and won't play Thursday, meaning Mooney will be on the receiving end of passes…read more

Remains limited at practice
Mooney (foot) was estimated as a limited participant Tuesday for the Bears' walk-through practice.
Analysis: Chicago has now listed Mooney as a limited participant on each of its first two Week 12 reports, but head coach Matt Nagy hasn't expressed any outward concern about the wideout's availability for a Thanksgiving Day game in Detroit. At the very least, Mooney's health appears to be in a better spot than fellow starting wideout Allen Robinson (hamstring), who went down as a non-participant for the second straight day coming off an absence in the Bears' Week 11 loss to the Ravens. Assuming Robinson…read more

'Limited' on first Week 12 report
The Bears listed Mooney (foot) as a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report.
Analysis: The same foot injury rendered Mooney a limited participant in two of the Bears' practices last week, but it didn't stop the second-year wideout from turning in a season-best 5-121-1 receiving line on a career-high 16 targets in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Ravens. The absence of Allen Robinson (hamstring) likely was a significant factor in Mooney earning extra looks, but the latter could be headed for another busy game Thanksgiving Day against the Lions. Robinson was listed as a non-participant…read more

Huge performance in defeat
Mooney caught five passes for 121 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 16-13 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.
Analysis: Mooney caught a screen pass from Andy Dalton and raced past the defense for a 60-yard score on his biggest play of the day. He also led the team with 16 targets, and he had a number of near misses on a number of downfield plays that kept him from having an even bigger day. He's averaged 10 targets and 75 yards with two touchdowns over his last three games, and his recent performances have begun to establish him as a solid weekly fantasy starter.

Cleared to play, Robinson doubtful
Mooney (foot) has no injury designation for Sunday's game against Baltimore, while fellow Bears wideout Allen Robinson (hamstring) is listed as doubtful, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Analysis: Mooney has already been more productive than his talented, veteran teammate this season, and the second-year pro now has a nice opportunity for a dominant target share. The downside is the possibility of increased attention from the Baltimore secondary, which hasn't played up to its usual standard in 2021 while struggling with injuries and coverage miscommunications. Mooney has seen no fewer than four targets and no more than nine in any game this year, with his best fantasy performance coming…read more

Remains limited Thursday
Mooney (foot) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday.
Analysis: Prior to preparation for Week 11, Mooney dealt with back and groin injuries. Now, a new health concern is impacting his practice reps, but it should be noted he's been able to play in each of the Bears' nine games this season, logging at least 70 percent of the offensive snaps on each occasion. Friday's injury report will reveal whether he enters the weekend with a designation, but when it comes to his value Mooney could be in line to serve as Justin Field's No. 1 wide receiver with Allen…read more

Limited by foot issue
Mooney was limited in practice Wednesday due to a foot issue.
Analysis: Mooney has been plagued by injuries this season, with back and groin issues affecting his practice reps. After the Bears' Week 10 bye, he's now tending to a foot concern. On a positive note, Mooney was able to fit in some activity Wednesday, which cannot be said for Allen Robinson (hamstring). In any case, the status of Chicago's top two wide receivers is cloudy in advance of Sunday's contest against the Ravens.

Scores twice in defeat
Mooney caught three of six targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 29-27 loss to the Steelers. He also rushed once for a 15-yard score.
Analysis: Mooney helped fuel Chicago's comeback effort, taking a wildcat handoff into the end zone to begin the fourth quarter before skillfully securing a 16-yard touchdown catch along the sideline to put the Bears ahead with under two minutes remaining. Although his pair of late scores still didn't result in a victory, Mooney at least enjoyed one of his best performances of the campaign, sending him into the Bears' bye week with the only multi-touchdown outing of his career.

Playing in Week 9
Mooney (groin) is listed as active Monday at Pittsburgh.
Analysis: Mooney capped Week 9 prep with back-to-back limited practices due to a groin injury, but it won't cause him to miss a regular-season game for the first time in his one-and-half seasons in the NFL. He's mostly had muted performances this season, with just one outing of more than 100 yards and just one touchdown across eight contests. Mooney will aim to up his performance against the Steelers' 14th-ranked pass defense (239.7 yards per game).

Mooney (groin) is listed as questionable for Monday's matchup against the Steelers.
Analysis: Mooney popped up on the injury report Thursday and was a limited participant in practice the following two days.

Pops up on injury report
Mooney was listed as a limited participant at Thursday's practice due to a groin injury.
Analysis: Mooney had frequently been included on Chicago's injury reports through the first eight weeks of the season due to the groin issue, but he avoided the initial Week 9 report released Thursday before being added a day later. The Bears haven't provided an explanation behind Mooney's addition, but it could be indicative of a setback suffered during Friday's practice. Regardless, Chicago will see what the second-year wideout is able to do Saturday before deciding whether he'll carry an injury…read more

Leads team in receiving
Mooney caught six passes for 64 yards in the Bears' 33-22 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.
Analysis: Mooney was targeted nine times, which was six more than any wide receiver on the team, but as usual, with Justin Fields for throwing for less than 200 yards, there was only so much production to go around. Overall, Mooney has three games with at least 66 yards over his last seven contests, and he's the only Chicago wide receiver who has been a viable fantasy option this season.

Targeted five times in defeat
Mooney caught two passes for 39 yards in the Bears' 38-3 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Analysis: The Buccaneers pressured Justin Fields throughout the afternoon, giving Mooney little chance to operate in his preferred downfield capacity, though he did have receptions of 17 and 22 yards, giving him a passable fantasy performance in a game during which the Bears failed to find the end zone. He's posted between 35 and 45 yards in each of his last three games, and until the offense shows improvement, he'll likely remain no better than a top-40 fantasy option at WR, though his big-play ability…read more

Stays limited Thursday
Mooney (groin) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday.
Analysis: As he's done since Week 3, Mooney has put in capped weekly workloads in advance of game days due to a groin injury. Week 7 has been no different, but it's yet to be determined whether he'll ditch his designation on the Bears' final practice report. Fellow wide receiver Allen Robinson (ankle) put in limited work, too, Thursday after sitting out Wednesday, so there is some fog hanging over both of the team's top two wide receivers.

Limited in practice
Mooney (groin) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Mooney first appeared on the Bears' injury reports with the groin issue Week 3, but it hasn't stopped him from playing in any of the team's ensuing four games. During that four-game stretch, Mooney (14 catches for 214 yards and a touchdown on 24 targets) actually has outproduced No. 1 receiver Allen Robinson (13-175-0 on 21 targets). Mooney also looks to be the healthier of the two wideouts at the moment, as Robinson sat out Wednesday's practice with an ankle injury.

Scores first touchdown of season
Mooney caught five passes for 45 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 24-14 loss to the Packers on Sunday.
Analysis: Mooney led the Bears with eight targets, but he was unable to make downfield plays while the Packers were applying consistent pressure on Justin Fields. On his touchdown, Mooney found an opening in the Green Bay zone, and Fields found him for an easy score. Since Fields entered the mix at quarterback for the Bears, Mooney has posted at least 66 yards or scored in three of the last five games, and he should continue to see enough targets to be in consideration as a starting option when making…read more

Mooney (groin) has no injury designation for Sunday's game against the Packers.
Analysis: It was the same deal last week, with Mooney listed on the injury report before logging a full practice Friday and avoiding a game designation. He's showing signs of Year 2 improvement with a 64.5 percent catch rate and 8.4 yards per target, but he's averaging only 6.2 targets per week overall and 5.3 per game with QB Justin Fields as the starter.

Mooney (groin) was limited at practice Thursday.
Analysis: With another limited showing under his belt, Mooney has been listed as such in 10 of the past 11 Bears injury reports. Still, it hasn't impacted his ability to suit up on game days, so even if he enters the weekend with a designation for Sunday's contest versus the Packers, he doesn't seem to be a candidate to sit out. Through five outings this season, Mooney has been hit or miss, with three games below 40 receiving yards, one with 100-plus yards and overall no touchdowns.

Mooney (groin) practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday.
Analysis: Mooney has been a regular on Bears injury reports this season, but his health concerns haven't affected his ability to suit up for games. He hasn't visited the end zone through five contests, but his overall receiving line of 20-261-0 on 31 targets is reasonable enough working with Andy Dalton and rookie Justin Fields.

Leads team in receiving
Mooney caught three passes for 35 yards in the Bears' 20-9 win over the Raiders on Sunday.
Analysis: In a game Chicago controlled from the second quarter on, Justin Fields threw only 20 passes, and the result was a limited passing attack that directly impacted Mooney's fantasy potential. Although he tied for the team lead with five targets, the conservative play calls limited the potential for big plays, which is Mooney's specialty. Although he's been very inconsistent this season, his ability to catch long passes will continue to make him a borderline fantasy starter.

Cleared for Week 5
Mooney (groin) was a full practice participant Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Raiders.
Analysis: Quarterback play is now the biggest concern for both Mooney and Allen Robinson, though the second-year pro did catch five of seven targets for 125 yards last week in a 24-14 win over the Lions. Rookie Justin Fields, while erratic, has at least sent 15 of his 52 targets (28.9 percent) in Mooney's direction so far, while Robinson (13, 25.0 percent) is the only other player who has seen more than eight passes from the rookie QB.

Analysis: Despite dealing with a few injuries this season, Mooney hasn't missed a game, and his share of the offensive snaps has been above 70 percent in all four contests. He hit that number exactly this past Sunday against the Lions, but he nonetheless put together his best performance of the campaign (5-125-0 on seven targets).

Still limited by groin issue
Mooney (groin) was limited at Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Mooney has been a regular on Bears injury reports this season, first with a back issue and now a groin injury. The latter concern has lingered into a third consecutive week of prep, but he's coming off his most productive performance of the season this past Sunday, when he hauled in five of seven passes for 125 yards in a win over the Lions. Assuming he gets through this week unscathed as well, Mooney will look to continue to his recent success with Justin Fields under center moving forward.

Eclipses century mark
Mooney caught five passes for 125 yards while adding a 10-yard rush in the Bears' 24-14 win over the Lions on Sunday.
Analysis: Mooney streaked between a pair of defenders, and Justin Fields threw a perfect pass on a 64-yard connection, helping the receiver to the first 100-yard game of his career. In a game the Bears threw just 17 passes, Mooney had seven targets, and he was the only Chicago receiver with more than three looks. He's now seen at least seven targets in all but one game this year, but with inconsistent production so far, he'll be a risky fantasy option with moderate upside.

The Justin Fields-led passing game struggled mightily in the rookie quarterback's first NFL start, and Mooney was no exception to that, as he finished Week 3 with one reception for nine yards on four targets.

Analysis: Mooney has logged a trio of limited practices this week. He played through this injury against the Browns in Week 3 but was held to one catch in Justin Fields' first start under center.

Analysis: Mooney has gutted through back and groin injuries so far this season, and even though his practice reps have been capped by the Bears, he's logged at least 89 percent of the offensive snaps in all three games. It's possible the combination of being less than 100 percent and poor quarterback play have contributed to a pedestrian 12-101-0 line on 19 targets, but he'll look to get on the right track Week 4 against the Lions, assuming he's active.

Nearly invisible in loss
Mooney caught one pass for nine yards in the Bears' 26-6 loss to the Browns on Sunday.
Analysis: Mooney was second on the team with four targets, but with the Chicago offense completely dominated by the Browns, the team was unable to sustain drives, which contributed to his weak performance. After having been targeted at least seven times in each of his prior games, he'll likely bounce back in an excellent matchup next week against the Lions.

Analysis: Mooney was limited in practice all week for the Bears, but he'll ultimately suit up despite a "questionable" tag. Last week against the Bengals, Mooney led the bears in snap share and targets, and this week, he'll face a middle-of-the-pack Cleveland secondary that has allowed 29 catches and two touchdowns to opposing wideouts through two games. The other variable here is a new signal caller, as Justin Fields will be making his first career NFL start.

Mooney (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Cleveland.
Analysis: Mooney was a limited practice participant Wednesday through Friday, after seeing a team-high eight targets (6-66-0) on 89 percent snap share in the Week 2 win over Cincinnati. If Mooney ends up on the inactive list ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, the Bears likely will turn to Marquise Goodwin and/or Damiere Byrd across from Allen Robinson. The team also has Breshad Perriman, but he was a healthy scratch for the first two games.

Still limited Thursday
Mooney (groin) was limited at Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Prior to having his practice reps capped this week due to a groin injury, Mooney had them managed during prep for the first two games of the season with a back issue. The second-year wide receiver still was able to suit up Weeks 1 and 2, combining for 11 catches (on 15 targets) for 92 yards and no touchdowns. Friday's injury report may clear up Mooney's standing heading into the weekend.

Limited by new injury
Mooney practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday due to a groin injury.
Analysis: Mooney was bothered by a back injury in both of the first two weeks of the campaign, but now a groin injury is impacting his practice reps. His results have been modest through two games, with the second-year receiver gathering in 11 of 15 targets for 92 yards and no touchdowns. Assuming he follows the same path this week, Mooney could produce Sunday against a Browns defense that has given up 9.5 yards per target to wideouts this season (11th-worst in the NFL).

Leads team in receiving
Mooney caught six passes for 66 yards in the Bears' 20-17 win over the Bengals on Sunday.
Analysis: Not only did Mooney lead the team in receiving yardage, but his eight targets made him the only Chicago receiver with more than four. With the Bears leading throughout, they only threw 24 passes, so he could be in line for even better production in future games when the team needs to keep up on the scoreboard, especially as the second option in what seems to be a fairly narrow team target tree.

Questionable despite full practices
Mooney (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Analysis: Mooney logged a trio of full practices throughout the week, so it would be surprising if the Bears' No. 2 receiver ultimately doesn't suit up Sunday. Still, those relying on him in the fantasy realm should check back prior to Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff to confirm that Mooney indeed is playing. He caught five passes for just 26 yards in the season opener.

Posts five receptions
Mooney caught five passes for 26 yards in the Bears' 34-14 loss to the Rams on Sunday.
Analysis: Mooney had been on the injury report with a back issue coming into this game, but he ended up playing every snap while finishing second on the team with seven targets. With the Rams applying consistent pressure to Andy Dalton, there was little chance of getting the downfield game going, and as a result Mooney's longest reception went for nine yards. After getting this tough matchup out of the way, Mooney could be in line for a run of solid production based on his talent and opportunity as the…read more

Suiting up in season opener
Mooney (back) is listed as active Sunday against the Rams in L.A.
Analysis: The Bears managed Mooney's practice reps this week, limiting him Wednesday and Thursday. He logged a full session Friday but still entered the weekend as a question mark. With his status for the season opener now known, Mooney will be the team's No. 2 wide receiver behind Allen Robinson, which amounted to 6.1 targets per game as a rookie in 2020.

Expected to play Sunday night
Mooney (back) is expected to play in Sunday's night's season opener against the Rams, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Official confirmation of Mooney's Week 1 status will arrive when inactives are submitted in advance of Sunday's 8:20 ET kickoff, but supporting the notion that the wideout will be able to give it a go is that he practiced fully Friday after logging limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday.

Finishes week with full practce
Mooney (back) upgraded to full practice participation Friday but is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Mark Grote of 670 The Score reports.
Analysis: The Bears have eight players listed as questionable, including two who were full practice participants throughout the week and another five who logged FP on Friday. Perhaps they're trying to obscure an actual injury concern, but it's more likely they're just being overly cautious with the NFL's injury-reporting system. Mooney should be fine for the season opener Sunday night in Los Angeles, operating as the No. 2 receiver in a Chicago offense that lacks a clear No. 3. He does get a tough…read more

Another limited session
Mooney (back) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.
Analysis: The Bears have capped Mooney's reps so far during Week 1 preparations, but the second-year wide receiver has one more chance to get all the way back to full health for Sunday's visit to the Rams. While he isn't a major challenge to Allen Robinson's standing as the clear No. 1 option in the team's passing attack, Mooney should be good for at least his typical amount of work from 2020 (6.1 targets per game).

Bothered by back
Mooney was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a back issue.
Analysis: It's the first report of a back injury this summer, with Mooney's limited participation suggesting it isn't serious. Assuming he checks out fine later this week, Mooney is locked in as Chicago's No. 2 receiver, though it may be a distant second to Allen Robinson. The 2020 fifth-round pick showed impressive speed and route running as a rookie, but he and Mitchell Trubisky struggled to complete plays. The Bears hope it'll be a different story this year with Andy Dalton, who starts the season with…read more

Resting up for Week 1
Mooney isn't expected to play in Friday's preseason finale against the Titans, Adam Hoge of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
Analysis: Other skill-position players in line to be held out include QB Andy Dalton, RB David Montgomery, WRs Allen Robinson and Marquise Goodwin and TEs Jimmy Graham and Cole Kmet. The Bears figure to center their offense around Robinson and Montgomery again, but Mooney nonetheless has second-year breakout appeal after a solid rookie season where he improved throughout the year. The Bears' poor depth at wide receiver could work in his favor, perhaps leading to an every-down role and steady targets.…read more

Continues to shine
Mooney caught a pair of deep passes in Thursday's practice, as he looks to become a consistent downfield target for the Bears this season, Jeff Dickerson of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Mooney was frequently able to get open downfield as a rookie in 2020, but the lack of quality quarterback play limited him to just six receptions of over 20 yards. However, if Andy Dalton and Justin Fields are able to show accuracy on deep passes this year, Mooney could potentially see a significant bump in production from last season.

Shines during offseason
Mooney looked "more polished and explosive" throughout OTAs and June minicamp, according to Adam Jahns of The Athletic.
Analysis: A fifth-round pick last spring, Mooney handled 98 targets and 73 percent snap share as a rookie, operating as Chicago's No. 2 receiver from Week 2 onward. He did miss the team's lone playoff game with an ankle injury, but there's been no indication it affected his offseason routine, and Mooney should retain the No. 2 spot after the Bears added only Marquise Goodwin and Damiere Byrd to their WR room in the offseason. A breakout would require QBs Andy Dalton and Justin Fields to play better than…read more

Could see role expand
Mooney (ankle) appears locked in as a key part of the Bears offense, while the rest of the wideout group is in flux, ESPN.com's Jeff Dickerson reports.
Analysis: It'll be an interesting offseason in Chicago with WR Allen Robinson and QB Mitchell Trubisky both scheduled to become unrestricted free agents in March. That leaves Mooney, RB David Montgomery and TE Cole Kmet locked in as building blocks at the skill positions, whereas Anthony Miller, Jimmy Graham and Javon Wims are on shakier footing. Mooney finished his rookie year with 61 catches for 631 yards and four touchdowns on 98 targets, playing 73 percent of Chicago's offensive snaps. The workload…read more

Ruled out for Sunday
Mooney (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints, Adam Hoge of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
Analysis: Mooney never managed to practice all week, but it's still a tough blow to a Bears offense that targeted the rookie fifth-round pick 13 times in last week's loss to the Packers. Anthony Miller and Javon Wims will be expected to shoulder some of the additional snaps in Mooney's absence.

Status in question for Sunday
Mooney (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's wild-card game in New Orleans.
Analysis: In the midst of a career performance Week 17 against the Packers -- 11 catches for 93 yards on 13 targets -- Mooney required assistance to get off the field in the fourth quarter. He hasn't logged any activity since injuring his ankle, but at least the Bears haven't ruled out the possibility of the rookie fifth-rounder suiting up this weekend. At the latest, the team will make a call on Mooney's availability about 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:40 p.m. ET kickoff.

Not practicing yet
Mooney (ankle) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Mooney injured his ankle near the end of the Bears' Week 17 loss to the Packers. The issue has kept him off the practice field this week so far, but he has one more session to prove his health ahead of Sunday's 4:40 p.m. ET kickoff in New Orleans. If he's able to suit up, Mooney previously put up a 5-69-1 line on six targets against the Saints back in Week 8.

Listed as DNP
Mooney (ankle) is listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's injury report, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The Wednesday report is an estimate, as the Bears held a walkthrough instead of a regular practice. Mooney had career highs across the board in the Week 17 loss to Green Bay, putting up 11 receptions for 93 yards on 13 targets before an ankle injury knocked him out of the game in the fourth quarter. Javon Wims picked up most of Mooney's vacated snaps, but Anthony Miller also could get more work if the rookie isn't available for the playoff game in New Orleans on Sunday.

Injured amid breakout game
Mooney (ankle) will not return to Sunday's game against the Packers, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Analysis: Mooney was leading the Bears receivers before being forced out of Sunday's divisional matchup in the fourth quarter. Prior to injuring his ankle, the rookie fifth-round pick had secured 11 of 13 targets for 93 yards. On the year, he caught 61 passes for 631 yards and four touchdowns, and after the Bears finish their postseason run, he could move into a more prominent role in the offense next year with teammate Allen Robinson set to be an unrestricted free agent.

Targeted seven times in win
Mooney caught four passes for 39 yards and added a two-yard rush in Chicago's 41-17 victory over the Jaguars on Sunday.
Analysis: Although Mooney was second on the team with seven targets, he was unable to parlay any of his opportunities into a splash play. Although he scored in each of the last two games coming into this contest, he's failed to reach 50 yards in any of his last seven games, making him a low-upside fantasy option in Week 17 against the Packers.

Co-leads team in targets
Mooney caught four passes (on five targets) for 49 yards and a touchdown while adding a 16-yard rush in the Bears' 33-27 victory over the Vikings on Sunday.
Analysis: Mooney scored his touchdown early in this contest, but with the Bears leading throughout, the team attempted just 21 passes, potentially keeping him from posting a bigger fantasy performance. Although he's scored in each of his last two games, he's failed to reach 50 receiving yards in any of his last six contests, making him a risky fantasy option in Week 16 despite facing a weak Jacksonville defense that has a depleted secondary.

Scores third touchdown of season
Mooney caught two passes for 22 yards and a touchdown while adding a five-yard run in Chicago's 36-7 victory over the Texans on Sunday.
Analysis: With Allen Robinson and the tight ends soaking up the majority of targets, Mooney made the most of his three touches, as he found the end zone for the first time in five games. He's only surpassed 43 yards twice this season, making him a low-upside option during the fantasy playoffs.

In lineup for Week 14
Mooney is active for Sunday's matchup against the Texans, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Analysis: Though the 23-year-old will suit up for Week 14, it's notable that he was unable to practice all week because of a personal matter. Javon Wims and Riley Ridley are both active for the cross-conference showdown with the Texans, meaning Mooney may have to contend for offensive looks. He's attracted 15 targets the past two weeks, but there are signals he may be in line for a lighter workload against Houston. Notably on that front, Ridley (coach's decision) was not active Week 13 for a home matchup…read more

Mooney missed Wednesday's practice due to a personal matter.
Analysis: The specifics of his personal situation remain unclear, but Mooney would still put himself on track to play Sunday against the Texans if he returns to practice Thursday or Friday.

Targeted six times in defeat
Mooney caught four of six targets for 43 yards in Chicago's 34-30 loss to the Lions on Sunday.
Analysis: With the Bears leading for the majority this contest, they had no need to aggressively attack the Detroit defense with Mooney's downfield ability, keeping him from taking advantage of a secondary that was missing two of its top three cornerbacks. On the season, he's only surpassed 43 yards on two occasions while failing to reach 70 yards in any contest, making it unlikely that he'll provide fantasy managers with much upside in the fantasy playoffs.

Will face Lions
Mooney (knee) is active for Sunday's matchup against Detroit.
Analysis: Mooney was a late addition to the Bears' injury report this week, sitting out Friday's practice after experiencing no restrictions Wednesday or Thursday. Coach Matt Nagy provided reassurance soon thereafter, noting the receiver's absence as a precautionary measure. The 23-year-old will indeed make his 12th appearance of the season during Week 13 in the wake of amassing nine-plus targets in two of his past three games.

Mooney (knee), who is listed as questionable, is expected to play Sunday versus the Lions, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The 23-year-old was a late addition to the injury report Friday with the knee issue and didn't practice, but he appears to be progressing well halfway through the weekend. Coach Matt Nagy indicated Mooney's absence from practice was a precaution, so it's not a major surprise he's still expected to suit up Sunday. Fellow wideout Allen Robinson (knee) is also likely to play, so quarterback Mitchell Trubisky should have his full complement of weapons in the passing game for the divisional matchup.

Nine targets in defeat
Mooney caught three passes for 34 yards in the Bears' 41-25 loss of the Packers on Sunday.
Analysis: Mooney was second on the team with nine targets, but whenever Mitchell Trubisky tried to connect with him downfield, the duo couldn't seem to get on the same page. On the season, he's posted between 34 and 69 yards in all but three games, and he'll likely continue to be a low-upside fantasy option.

Quiet in losing effort
Mooney caught both his targets for three yards in the Bears' 19-13 loss to the Vikings on Monday.
Analysis: Whenever the Bears were in obvious passing situations, which was often, the Vikings blitzed relentlessly, which basically eliminated any potential for a downfield passing attack. As a result, Mooney was a non-factor while seeing only a pair of screen passes. He's now been held to fewer than 36 yards for the third time this season, though his typical target volume makes him a potential flex option in weekly lineups.

Leads team in targets
Mooney caught five passes for 43 yards in the Chicago's 24-17 loss to the Titans on Sunday.
Analysis: With Chicago falling behind by double digits in the first half, the team mostly abandoned the run, leading to 11 targets for Mooney. However, with the Bears missing multiple starting offensive linemen, Nick Foles had little time to target Mooney deep downfield, keeping the receiver's yardage total in check. He's posted at least 40 yards in three straight games, and he's a player who can be considered as a solid flex option in most fantasy leagues.

Posts highest yardage of season
Mooney caught five passes for 69 yards and a touchdown in Chicago's 26-23 overtime loss to the Saints on Sunday.
Analysis: Mooney has been targeted on numerous deep passes throughout the season, and Nick Foles used a play-action fake to slow the pass rush while connecting on a 50-yard pass to the receiver Sunday. Mooney later cemented his fantasy day by catching a touchdown pass in the red zone to account for his second score of the season. Mooney's now been targeted at least five times in six straight games, and he's quickly becoming a solid fantasy depth option.

Mooney caught three passes on seven targets for 40 yards in Chicago's 24-10 loss to the Rams on Monday.
Analysis: With the Bears trailing for most of the game, Mooney saw three deep passes, but he was unable to haul in any of them. He actually was open for a potential 95-yard touchdown, but Nick Foles was under heavy pressure and he was unable to get the ball out on time.

In addition, Mooney saw a couple other deep targets, but neither of the passes were particularly close to being completed.

Ready to rock
Mooney (shoulder) is officially active for Thursday's matchup against Tampa Bay.
Analysis: Mooney came into the contest questionable despite suiting up as a full practice participant throughout the week, so this news isn't surprising. The rookie is coming off a career-high five catches and 52 yards across nine targets in last week's loss to the Colts. Mooney will continue his role as the team's punt return man and piece of the offense, as he's averaging 5.7 targets per game this season.

Considered questionable
Mooney (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against Tampa Bay, despite being listed as a full practice participant each day this week.
Analysis: The Bears presumably would list Mooney as "probable" if the designation still existed. The rookie wideout should be available Thursday night, coming off season highs for targets (nine), catches (five) and yards (52) in Sunday's 19-11 loss to the Colts. Mooney has landed between 60 and 74 percent snap share the past three weeks, averaging 5.7 targets per game in the process.

Mooney caught five passes for 52 yards in the Bears' 19-11 loss to the Colts on Sunday.
Analysis: With Nick Foles getting his first start as the Chicago quarterback, it was clear that the coaching staff wanted to use Mooney as a downfield threat. He had an impressive 33-yard reception and was also targeted deep on two other occasions, but in each case the pass was uncatchable.

He was fortunate on his touchdown reception, as Mitchell Trubisky threw the ball across the field, and Mooney was able to secure the football just before the defender could make a play.

Mooney caught all three of his targets for 38 yards in Chicago's 27-23 victory over the Lions Sunday.
Analysis: With Chicago trailing by multiple scores throughout the second half, Mooney saw regular work in three-receiver sets, and he ended the day as the team's third leading receiver. Based on this solid performance, he's a player fantasy managers may consider adding to their benches with the hopes of streaming him in games in which the Bears are likely to throw the ball often.
