Anyone starting Randy Moss this weekend? (1 Viewer)

[cscmtp]

I know Champ is one of the best corners in the league, but it seems he does tend to give up a few big plays. Anyone enough to start Moss this weekend?

Side note- any Raiders homers know if there is talk of Brooks getting the job back?

 

[pgreenfan]

I will be starting him this week.

 

[Wu-banger]

benching him for Gates as my WR2 in a none TE league.'

I dont see anything positive possible from this matchup.

 

[Cowtippers]

I'm planning on benching him in favor of Lee Evans.....but it's a close decision. I may switch back to Moss before Sunday?!?!

 

[buck naked]

Benching him in every league (3 of them). Moss' opportunities were so limited last week because of Oakland's pathetic offense,and because his own laziness and drops, that there is no way I can start him against the best shutdown corner in the league. It seems very strange to do it, but I looked at his stats this year game-by-game. He just blows. Period. I was starting him purely on reputation. No more.

 

[varmint cong]

i wouldnt start Moss if he was playing George Bailey(james stewart) from "Its a Wonderful Life" The Raiders are Horrible!!

 

[The Jacket]

Nothing to do with his matchup with Bailey, and everything to do with the horrible QB throwing him the ball.

 

[Futeki]

Moss has been getting a ton of targets each week. Errant passes and drops are the problem.

However, last time @Denver in week 6, Moss put up 5 catches for 86 yards on 12 targets. A big part of the problem is the pressure on the QB. As good as the Broncos defense is, they just don't get much pressure. They only sacked Walters 4 times. Walters should feel like he has all day compared to normal.

This time the game is at home, for what little difference that makes. It is hard to bench a player who has received 12-14 looks three of the last four weeks. If Moss gets penalized when his QB throws a pick while targetting him, then that is a different story.

Moss will be perfectly fine as a WR3 this week despite Champ Bailey. I am starting him as such.

 

[Tom Baker]

Not after what I saw on Monday night.

 

[OneEastRiver]

The Broncos have the 29th ranked pass defense in the league (pass yards allowed). I'll be starting Moss this week, expecting about 90 yards and 1 TD.

 

[Isotopes]

I think it is wrong to assume that Bailey will mathcup on Moss all game. Champ normally stays on one side of the field. If the Raiders are smart, they will take advantage of Moss vs. Darrent Williams, as Moss can certainly find room with him covering him.

Is Brooks any closer to seeing the field?

 

[Andrew74]

I have to figure out between Moss, Fitzgerald, or Stallworth. I am going to give Fitz a week. Stallworth looks promising but Moss had a decent game last time vs the Broncos. I have no idea which one I am going to use.

 

[omally]

Is Brooks any closer to seeing the field?

I think so. He has practiced this week, but he won't be playing this weekend.

I was going to ask this very question. I remember someone mentioning a few weeks ago when Reggie Wayne embarrassed Darrent Williams that Champ usually stays on the left side of the defense and since Harrison usually lines up on the right side of the offense, he was covered by Champ and Wayne was open all day. If that is true, doesn't Moss typically line up on the left side of the offense which would have him covered by Darrent Williams? Or would the Broncos make an exception in this case and put Champ on Moss wherever he is?

 

[Crusaderfan]

Is Brooks any closer to seeing the field?

I think so. He has practiced this week, but he won't be playing this weekend.

Isn't it kinda ironic that those of us that have Moss & Jordan can't wait to see Brooks available to play? Next thing you know we'll hear that hell has frozen over.Willie

 

[The Jacket]

If Moss is "covered" by Darrent Williams and Andrew Walter can put the ball in the same area code as Moss' route, expect 200 yards and 3 scores.

 

[TheAbeFroman]

I'm amazed people still have Moss on their rosters.

 

[Avery]

I'm amazed people still have Moss on their rosters.

I'm amazed at useless post likes this. Over the past 5 weeks, Randy Moss is a top 15 WR in my PPR scoring league. That makes his a high WR2 for most leagues. Not Randy Moss like number but not bad considering the team he plays on and definitely startable and rosterable.

 

[midwest_kc]

I'm amazed people still have Moss on their rosters.

Seriously?

 

[TheAbeFroman]

Wow....Calm down angry and frustrated Moss owners. I'm just amazed that people would want to put up with the headache every week. That's just me personally. I just don't see the upside.

You seriously don't the see the upside of Randy Moss? Edit to add: BTW, not a Moss owner.

If nothing else changes between now and gametime tomorrow, Moss will be sitting on my bench for the first time this year...

I will be starting Stallworth (whose QB can actually get him the ball); and Chambers (who should be targeted about 10 times in the game)

Most of Moss' pts. on MNF came on Oakland's last possesion, when Seatlle's Def. was laying off him and Walter threw 4-5 passes his way, which he caught 3 of them. One of those catches was questionable, as I thought the ball might have hit the ground just as he caught it. Being it was towards the end of the game, Oakland in a hurry up offense, and the outcome in hand, it was not challenged or reviewed.

With the likely possibility that Champ will be shadowing him on almost every play this Sunday, I'll give Randy a rest. As someone else said, it's pathetic that us Moss owners are actualy anxious for Brooks' return.

FWIW (and this has been covered on many Denver defense threads) Denver's scheme calls for Bailey to cover the receiver lined up on one particular side of the field (think it's the right btu could be the left). Point is, he doesn't shadow the opposition's #1 WR.

The Chiefs are #1 in the entire NFL versus opposing #1 WRs.If Chambers gets 10 targets, based on the first 8 games of the season the chances are that he doesn't do anything worth a crap.

Moss has scored 3 out the last 6 weeks. Besides the 20 yard performance 2 weeks ago he has been at least a good WR3. If this is the worst he can do, i will take it. This thread is really a

 

[Mene]

I'm starting M. Jones over R. Moss as my WR2 this week. Might be a gamble, but I just can't imagine the Raider O doing much of anything against Denver, where I think M. Jones is due to score.

Randy mostly lines up as the Right Wide Out, Champ mostly lines up as the Left Cover Corner DB, that in itself would be the "matchup" for most of the game; but if I remember correctly in the first game between them this year when Champ stepped in front of Moss and intercepted a throw inside the Broncos' 5 yard line, Moss had lined up on the left and Champ was there to cover him...correct me if I'm wrong, but that's one of the reasons why I stated "with the likely possibility that Champ will be shadowing him".....

 

[CrossEyed]

I just picked up Gonzalez in a non-TE league (no idea why he was out there) and I'm thinking of starting him over Moss with Fitz and Branch as my other 2 receivers.

 

[Sweeper]

Randy Moss has changed from a stud to just an exceptional WR on a bad team, in a bad situation.

I started him with the "always start your stud" logic all last season and most of this one.

Now, I am thinking that he is not a stud and should be started based on the matchup. The Raiders barely have one weapon and Moss is it. That makes him too easy to shut down, especilly with the likes of Champ on his ###.

I am still stutter stepping on this one and could flop either way. Let's see how my gut feels come game time.

 

[Gatorman]

The Chiefs are #1 in the entire NFL versus opposing #1 WRs.

That's because the best cover corner in the NFL is Pat Surtain.

Hi Jacket, you brought up something I wasn't aware of and It's this interchange of information that makes this forum the best there is and I thak you.Chambers hasn't been doing much of anything worth a crap as it is, but my feeling is that I'm gonna start Stalworth over Chambers and Moss, and although it could very well turn out to be the wrong decision at the end of the games, I'm choosing Chambers as the best of 2 evils; DJax did catch 3 for 64 yds. and a 49 yd TD against the Chiefs 2 weeks ago.....

Dunno about that, but the Chiefs have done a nice job against opposing #1s; it's the #3 wideouts that've killed 'em all year long, probably because Lenny Walls is the nickel and KC's usual nickel corner is out injured.Last week was a fine example: Holt invisible, Bruce solid, Curtis dynamite.

 

[Raider Nation]

I'll be starting Moss this week, expecting about 90 yards and 1 TD.

I'm expecting to get a date with Jessica Alba, with me ending up in her bed later in the night.Hopefully one of us will get lucky.I'm sitting Moss in favor of Chris Henry. Walter will get sacked at least 7 times.

 

[Sweetness_34]

Seriously you guys need to understand the difference between FF and real NFL football. In the FF world, it does not matter whether Moss gets 4 catches in garbage time or in the clutch.

2ndly, look at the targets Moss has been getting the last 5 weeks or so. How can you sit someone getting 10+ targets for a Matt freaking Jones is beyond me.

Moss is a great flex start and I have been starting him every game and have had him beat my opponent's flex EVERY week except one. Go look at the FF #s he puts up for a PPR league and tell me why you would not start him as WR3 or Flex.

Stop thinking he will produce like he did in the Culpepper days. And guess what, he still has the upside to put up a 2 TD 100+ game any time. He already has one 100+, 1 TD game where he dropped a sure 2nd TD.

Denver does not have a great pass rush. Did any of you see Peyton drink coffee and then throw all day long? Did you see Big Ben shred the Denver secondary? Darrent Williams and John Lynch can cover no one (no speed).

Last time Moss played these guys, he had 13 FPs in a PPr league. Why would you not want that from your WR3 or flex? And now they are playing at home, and given how much the Raiders hate Shanny, you think they will not want to stick it to them?

Start Moss with confidence. He will be fine with his 10+ targets. Stop looking at the Raiders, just look at the FPs scored every week by Moss.

That is normally true. However, it was different in the last Oakland game: link

Bailey was covering Moss as part of a strategy cooked up Saturday night. The discussion involved defensive coordinator Larry Coyer and members of the secondary. Bailey normally lines up at right cornerback, which meant he would have been covering Alvis Whitted. Given the level of competition, it made sense for Bailey to do something he almost never does -- be assigned to one receiver.

``We just wanted to throw a wrinkle in there,'' Bailey said. ``We hadn't done that all year. We knew Moss was going to get the ball. If he gets some passes, I'm going to get some opportunities.

Peyton Manning and the Colts offensive line >>>>> Andrew Walter and Oakland's offensive line.Big Ben and the Steelers offensive line >>>> Andrew Walter and Oakland's offensive line.

I understand what you're saying, but you have to pick your spots with Moss. He is far from an automatic start these days. I would not be shocked if the Raiders finished with 0, 3 or 6 points. Forget the "Raiders hate Shanahan" argument. It's clearly the other way around. Shanny OWNS Oakland since he got fired.

Walter sucks, and Oakland's offense especially sucks against capable defenses.

Start him at your own risk, but I'd be surprised if he topped 45 yards.

 

[Chief]

RaiderNation is right. The Raiders are garbage this year. As a Moss owner this year and lifelong Raider fan, I hate to say it... avoid starting Moss unless you are willing to roll the dice. He has been feast or famine all year long. Mostly famine.

I was going to ask this very question. I remember someone mentioning a few weeks ago when Reggie Wayne embarrassed Darrent Williams that Champ usually stays on the left side of the defense and since Harrison usually lines up on the right side of the offense, he was covered by Champ and Wayne was open all day. If that is true, doesn't Moss typically line up on the left side of the offense which would have him covered by Darrent Williams? Or would the Broncos make an exception in this case and put Champ on Moss wherever he is?

Champ Bailey has just lined up on the right side in every game this season except for one.The problem? The one game where he shadowed the top receiver instead of strictly lining up on the right... you guessed it, at home against Oakland. In that game, he wound up shadowing Moss most of the time (although not on every play).This raises the question... did Champ Bailey shadow Moss because it would be unexpected, given the way he's played the rest of the time? And if Denver is just trying to do the unexpected to trick Walters into throwing at Bailey, might they have Champ *NOT* shadow Moss when Walters is expecting him to, just to throw Walters off? It's possible.I suspect Champ will spend most of the game against Randy, but Moss will get enough time away from Champ that he'll still get plenty of targets.

If Moss is "covered" by Darrent Williams and Andrew Walter can put the ball in the same area code as Moss' route, expect 200 yards and 3 scores.

Darrent Williams is a very good CB. If Champ Bailey weren't in town, he'd be getting a lot more love by the media for how good he really is. If he hadn't gotten injured last year, he would very likely have been the Defensive Rookie of the Year (or at least finished in the top-2). Even the game against Indy wasn't as bad as it looked- a lot of the yards were a result of blown coverages in the secondary, Denver's soft scheme (giving a 5-7 yard cushion most of the time), and Denver's complete lack of anything resembling a passrush. Granted, it wasn't the greatest game ever played, but Darrent Williams didn't play nearly as poorly as everyone thinks he did that week.

Denver does not have a great pass rush. Did any of you see Peyton drink coffee and then throw all day long? Did you see Big Ben shred the Denver secondary? Darrent Williams and John Lynch can cover no one (no speed).

Denver had 4 sacks against Oakland last time. Against the Raiders, even a weak passrush is more than sufficient. Also, Lynch is having a remarkable year in terms of coverage (he actually seems to have gotten a step FASTER this season, which is mind-boggling for a player of his age), and as I mentioned, Darrent Williams would have had a very strong case for DRoY last year if he hadn't missed so many games.With that said, Moss is going to get his targets, and Darrent Williams is playing with a separated shoulder (if he's even playing at all). It might suck for Andrew Walters if he only completes 33% of the passes for Moss (and gets picked off twice in the process), but it doesn't hurt Moss's fantasy stats at all- and with 12 targets, 33% catch rate still results in 4 catches. Not too shabby for a downside.Also, can we go ahead and award Champ Bailey the Defensive PoY award right now? No other CB in the entire league is even CLOSE to his level at the moment. There's a greater gap between #1 and #2 at CB than there is at any other position in the entire league.

 

[Chewyguru]

I know Champ is one of the best corners in the league, but it seems he does tend to give up a few big plays.

I don't get your logic. He gives up very few big plays has averaged around an INT a game recently. Plus his penchant for INT's in the red zone? I dont agree with this statement. He's argueably the best in the game.I'm a Moss owner but have started him almost every week as a WR3. He's done great for me lately but I don't expect much from him this week and am going to bench him.

 

[The Jacket]

Darrent Williams is a very good CB.

No he's not.

If Champ Bailey weren't in town, he'd be getting a lot more love by the media for how good he really is.

he would very likely have been the Defensive Rookie of the Year (or at least finished in the top-2).

 

[pgreenfan]

I will be starting him this week.

Well this morning I have changed my mind and am going with Matt Jones over Randy Moss, Santana Moss and Keyshawn.

 

[Smarge]

I've got Moss in two leagues, starting him in one (we start 4WRs), benching him in favor of Housh, Fitz and Tony G in another. I think he gets 60 or so yards, so whether a TD is mixed in or not decides if the day was successful. I'd be surprised in Oakland scores a TD against Denver.

 

[OneEastRiver]

Starting Moss with confidence today. 4 of his last 5 games he has posted at least 13 fantasy points in PPR leagues. His targets are way up from the beginning of the year (he is seeing double digit targets every week now). Also, as someone mentioned above, it really doesn't matter when he gets his points -- I'm fine with him getting 6 catches in the fourth quarter during garbage time.

The biggest risk of starting Moss is his temper factor. One of these games he may just go nuts on the sidelines at Shell, Walter, the O-line, and he could get himself benched (or he could storm off the field). The risk is that this happens in the first or second quarter.

Barring the above, I expect 90 yards and a TD this afternoon.

A Raider kneed a dude in the stones last week and Shell responded with .The next show of disipline or benching from Shell I see, will be the first.
