Mooney, the 2020 5th round pick out of Tulane followed up a solid rookie year (61-631-4) with an at times dominant 2021, finishing with a 81-1,055-4 line for a Chicago offense that sunk to 30th in the NFL with only 3,207 yards in the air. What impressed me most about what Mooney did last season; was the fact it was out from under Allen Robinson's shadow. During his rookie season he had the benefit of nearly zero defensive attention, but last season most defenses realized that Robinson was a shell of his former self, and that Mooney was the real threat. Despite the added attention, and a struggling rookie quarterback, Mooney was money at times last season.
How do things change in 2022? Well, Mooney is now the unquestioned alpha in the receiver room, with only a rookie, and Byron Pringle to compete with. What makes Mooney a big threat (blazing speed) is also offset by limits to his consistency and touchdown scoring (size, bad team). So, while he's likely to reach and exceed his 2021 numbers, there will be some bouts of inconsistency (he did have six games with less than 4 standard points) baked into his value. I would be thrilled if I could get Mooney as a WR3. At that spot he can win you a week or two, and you can live with a few duds.
