6. Darnell Mooney, Chicago Bears

Darnell Mooney has become a regular contributor for the Bears offense, as he’s totaling 25 catches, 306 yards, and a touchdown on the year. He and rookie quarterback Justin Fields have built an obvious connection.

In a very tough matchup against the Bucs, the Bears are going to have to throw the whole game. For Mooney though, the Bucs’ secondary is actually pretty soft, meaning he should get open quite a bit and have a solid game that would have him finish as a high-end WR3.

5. Mecole Hardman, Kansas City Chiefs

Mecole Hardman was one of our sleepers last week, and he caught 4-of-5 targets for 62 yards. He’s actually developed a decently stable floor in this Chiefs offense. Another piece of good news is that he’s averaging 10 yards per reception, so he does make the most out of whatever volume he gets.

Hardman can explode for a big play at any given moment, and his presence on the field will be much needed in a tough matchup versus Tennessee. Hardman is a serviceable flex this week.
