8. Darnell Mooney, Chicago Bears

Darnell Mooney was a sleeper candidate for us last week, and he delivered with a 6-64 performance. He’s far and away the number one wideout for the Bears and has seemingly developed solid chemistry with rookie signal-caller Justin Fields.

Mooney and the Bears get a stingy Pittsburg defense this week in a pretty brutal Monday Night Football matchup, but we can count on Mooney to hit his 6.6 targets per game number, which is good for a low-end WR3 finish.

7. Rondale Moore, Arizona Cardinals

Rondale Moore had a blazing hot start to his rookie year but has since slowed down big time and seems to be the fourth or fifth option in this Cardinals’ passing attack. However, with news of A.J. Green landing on the Reserve/COVID-19 list, Moore may be propelled into a starting role.

Moore is as explosive as they come with the ball in his hands, and if he can have a higher-volume role this week, it will pay huge dividends to those who have faith in him.
