Quick Hits: Nagy sees increased role for Mooney Coach Matt Nagy praises rookie Darnell Mooney. The Bears add Artavis Pierce to the active roster. Nagy weighs in on the kicking situation.
Targeted five times Mooney caught two passes for 19 yards in Chicago's 30-26 victory over the Falcons on Sunday.
Impact After posting at least 36 yards in each of his first two games, Mooney actually saw a season-high five targets, but he also posted his lowest yardage total of the season. Despite his low yardage total in this contest, his target volume makes him a player who can be considered as a possible flex option.

Scores first career touchdown Mooney caught all three of his targets for 36 yards and a touchdown in Chicago's 17-13 victory over the Giants on Sunday.
Impact With Ted Ginn a healthy scratch, Mooney again saw significant work as an outside receiver, and it's beginning to look as if the rookie will have a prominent role in the offense. 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 has been targeted three times while posting over 35 yards in each contest to start the season, and he's frequently seeing single coverage playing across the field from Allen Robinson, which will give him a chance to post regular production. At this point, he's a player that fantasy managers should consider adding to rosters as a depth piece in the hopes he can boost his target volume in the upcoming weeks.

Impressive debut Mooney caught all three of his targets for 38 yards in Chicago's 27-23 victory over the Lions on Sunday.
Impact 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 that fantasy managers may consider adding to their benches with the hopes of streaming him in games that the Bears are likely to throw the ball often.
