Mooney caught five passes for 63 yards in the Bears' 17-9 loss to the Vikings on Monday.
Mooney caught three of his passes on third downs in the first half, which helped the Bears extend drives, but the team otherwise went with a run-heavy approach, and he disappeared for most of the second and third quarters. Even on the first fourth-quarter drive in which the Bears drove down the field through the air, the only target Mooney saw was an overthrown ball in the end zone on which he was unable to stay in bounds. On the next drive, he had another chance for a score, but the pass again was overthrown. Although his usage hasn't been consistent, he could easily have a strong finish to the fantasy season with games against the Seahawks and Giants, especially if he can return to the target share he saw between Weeks 8 and 12.
