Mooney: Velus Jones Jr. "going to be a playmaker"

Jun 14, 2022

Speaking to the media Tuesday, WR Darnell Mooney said that rookie wideout Velus Jones Jr. is standing out. "When he gets the ball, you're going to see, he can fly," said Mooney. "He's going to be a playmaker, for sure."

Fantasy Impact:

Jones is a 25-year old rookie and could already be showing his ceiling as a rookie. The good thing is he is being embraced on offense and is being praised for his speed by another fast receiver. Jones's fantasy floor is bottomless, but if he can grasp the offense immediately, there is plenty of space for upside in his game.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
