Mooney (illness) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Mooney sat out Wednesday's session while was under the weather, but his ability to take every rep a day later puts him on track to suit up this Sunday against the Cardinals. Though he appears to be locked into a near-every-down role as the Bears' No. 2 wideout behind DJ Moore, Mooney hasn't scored a touchdown since Week 1 and has cleared 50 receiving yards just once in his last 10 outings.

Mooney missed Wednesday's practice due to an illness.
EDGE Analysis
The timing early in the week should allow Mooney to recover before Sunday's game against the Cardinals. A return to practice Thursday or Friday would confirm that he's on track to play.

Mooney caught two passes for 14 yards in the Bears' 20-17 loss to the Browns on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Mooney tied DJ Moore for the team lead with eight targets. However, on the last play of the game, a Hail Mary pass was deflected into Mooney's arms, but he was unable to secure the ball, costing the Bears a victory. Although Mooney has 15 targets over his last two games, he has only caught four of those passes. The increased opportunity gives him potential to surprise with a productive game, but the veteran has surpassed 53 yards only once all season while not finding the end zone since Week 1. His lack of reliability makes him difficult to trust in fantasy lineups.

Mooney caught two passes for 44 yards in the Bears' 28-13 win over the Lions on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Mooney posted over 24 yards for the first time in four games. He also has failed to find the end zone since Week 1. Fantasy managers who use Mooney in lineups need to hope he hauls in a long pass, or his upside is limited.

Mooney caught two passes for six yards in the Bears' 12-10 win over the Vikings on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Mooney was reasonably productive when Tyson Bagent was the starting quarterback. In the last two games with Justin Fields under center, Mooney has three catches for 30 yards on four targets. His low floor and limited upside makes him difficult to count on each week.

Mooney caught a 24-yard pass in the Bears' 31-26 loss to the Lions on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Mooney wasn't a major part of the Chicago game plan in Justin Fields return to the lineup. Mooney has two or fewer receptions in four of his last six games, making him a low-upside fantasy option.

Mooney brought in two of four targets for 14 yards in the Bears' 16-13 win over the Panthers on Thursday night.
EDGE Analysis
Mooney was coming off a season-best 5-82 line on six targets in Week 9 against the Saints, but his production took a notable dive in the low-scoring win. The speedster was a clear complementary option behind top targets DJ Moore and Cole Kmet, and even rookie back Roschon Johnson saw more targets (six) than Mooney. The fourth-year pro could potentially see a boost in his outlook if Justin Fields (thumb) is able to return for a Week 11 road battle against the Lions on Nov. 19.

Mooney brought in five of six targets for 82 yards in the Bears' 24-17 loss to the Saints on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Mooney got off to a fast start with a 13-yard reception on the Bears' first play from scrimmage and a game-high 38-yard grab on the last play of the opening period. The fourth-year speedster went on to set the pace in receiving yards for Chicago on the afternoon with a figure that also qualified as a season high. Mooney has a 12-203 line over his last four games after a four-game stretch during which he was blanked on three occasions, and he could have Justin Fields (thumb) back as his quarterback in a Week 10 home matchup against the Panthers on Thursday night.

Mooney caught one of four targets for 41 yards in the Bears' 30-13 loss to the Chargers on Sunday. He added three rushing yards on one carry.
EDGE Analysis
Mooney hauled in a deep pass in the first quarter but was unable to secure any of his three other targets. He has posted between 32 and 53 yards in five games but was shut out in the other three contests. For now, he's a low-floor, low-upside fantasy option in an erratic Chicago passing attack.

Mooney caught four passes for 32 yards in the Bears' 30-12 win over the Raiders on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Mooney was second among Chicago's wide receivers with four targets in a game the team controlled throughout. On the season, he has yet to surpass 53 yards in a game while finding the end zone once. Unless Mooney begins to see an uptick in targets, he'll likely continue to be a low-upside fantasy option.
