Fantasy Football Injury News
Check out the latest news and notes around the NFL.
Darnell Mooney practicing at full speed but limited reps
Darnell Mooney is practicing at full speed but on limited reps says head coach Matt Eberflus. The Bears are pleased with Mooney’s recovery from offseason ankle surgery.
Fantasy Impact
When healthy, Mooney should slide into the number two target role in the offense behind offseason acquisition DJ Moore. While he might not reach his 2021 totals, finishing 2023 with around 800 yards and 4-5 touchdowns as a WR4 is not out of the question. He’s a value in drafts right now.

Diontae Johnson back at practice Saturday
Diontae Johnson was back at practice on Saturday after leaving Friday’s practice for heat-related reasons.
Fantasy Impact
It’s good to hear Johnson is back at practice and that the struggle with heat was temporary. Expect him once again to be the top target in the Steelers’ offense when the 2023 season kicks off.

Kyler Murray says he has no timetable for return
Arizona Cardinals QB Kyler Murray told reporters that he has no timetable for a return and is taking it one day at a time.
Fantasy Impact
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said recently that it was not “realistic” to expect Murray to be ready for Week 1, as he understood talking to team personnel. Rapoport said Murray is pushing to return as soon as possible, but the sentiment from the rest of the organization was that they did not want to rush their franchise QB back from his ACL injury. Murray is currently on the PUP list and played just 11 games last season before his injury. When healthy, he is a top-12 fantasy QB, but in the meantime, Colt McCoy can be expected to be the team’s Week 1 starter.
