Theres been a lot of buzz in camp hovering around University of Tennessee rookie Denarius Moore. Nine practices in, and its apparent this guy is special. Hes not had a single day without a string of superlatives describing his receiving ability. At this point, barring injury, theres no way he isnt a starter, and I think he takes DHB starting spot from him. With the departure of Zach Miller, expect the WRs to be more involved and this Denarius cat is going to produce, especially when Jacoby Ford gets back in the fold. Theres some great competition going on between Chaz Schilens, Louis Murphy, Moore, and Ford. I am definitely on the bandwagon.
Moore is fantasy relevant now. Go out and get him while hes still cheap.
Heres a recent blog entry by Raiders beat writer, Steve Corkran. Its really a pretty typical blog entry, and the story of Denarius Moore killin it in camp writes itself a new chapter every day. Dont sleep on Moore.

Denarius Moore, folks. Learn the name, commit it to memory and keep an eye on the rookie whenever hes on the field.
On Thursday, for the second straight day, Moore stole the show during practice with his acrobatic catches and big-play ability. At this rate, people are going to forget about Darrius Heyward-Bey missing so much practice time.
Im not going to keep using the word you guys write I keep using all the time, Jackson said. Im gonna have to come up with another one. I dont want to say the W word (Wow!). So, what Im going to say is, oh, boy! The young man can make some plays, cant he?
Oh, my gosh, is he something? Hes fun to watch. Every day theres something. A ball goes up, he comes down with it and makes a play. He has tremendous talent. The game is not too big for him. He has that factor of making plays. Theres no fear in the young man. Im glad hes on our team.
Moore delivered the most memorable play of camp so far when he leaped for a high pass in the back of the end zone and snared the ball above cornerback DeMarcus Van Dyke and safety Stevie Brown, while having the composure to get his feet down before he stepped out of bounds. Touchdown.
Moore didnt have to worry about running back to the huddle. The huddle ran to him near the 10-yard line, with players hooting and hollering and congratulating him on his spectacular catch.
Yes, sir, just another day, another catch, another play, Moore said in his aw-shucks manner.
Yeah, right. This wasnt Ronald Curry spectacular from that Monday night game against the Denver Broncos in 2004. But it was close.
It was overwhelming for a rookie to make a play like that and then get supported by the whole team, Moore said. The support and the love I was getting, I was real happy from it.
Naturally, Moore was just getting warmed up. A short while later, Moore did an out-and-up that left cornerback Sterling Moore flat-footed, out of position and out of luck, as Moore sprinted into the open for a long touchdown reception from Jason Campbell.
I swear, if (Denarius Moore) runs one more out-and-up, double move or corner-and-up, Im (going to ) kill someone!!! Sterling Moore Tweeted after practice.
