The Bears went into the 2022 season knowing their wide receiver position lacked weapons. Darnell Mooney was the clear No. 1, but in terms of passing yards per game, the Bears' 130.5 yards per game was the worst in the NFL since 2011. Still, Mooney has the best rapport with quarterback Justin Fields of all the receivers. While new pass catcher DJ Moore might take over the mantle of wide receiver No. 1, Mooney will still be a significant contributor this season.
What makes one player more important than another? That's subjective, of course. But for our purposes it comes down to this: Are the Bears worse off if this player can't play? Does this player have untapped potential or past greatness to live up to? Is his story going to be one fans follow closely this season?
Looking back: The Bears went into the 2022 season knowing their wide receiver position lacked weapons. Darnell Mooney was the clear No. 1 at the position after attaining his first 1,000-yard season in 2021. The Bears surrounded him with weapons like Dante Pettis, Equanimeous St. Brown and Velus Jones Jr. Not surprisingly, the passing game struggled. In terms of passing yards per game, the Bears' 130.5 yards per game was the worst in the NFL since 2011.
