Where did you have Randy BEFORE last night?
How's the importing/exporting biz going BTW?
As a longtime Vikings fan, you will be disappointed in your hope for Moss. Moss is no longer the player he was in his earlier years, and his QB play will be more inconsistent that he is. He gets off the line way slower, gets injured way easier, and takes a long time to heal. Unfortunately, the only thing that hasn't come with age for Moss is a better attitude. He's still a baby who quits or mouths off when things don't go his way. He just went WR13 in my league, and that felt about right.
I WAS a big Moss fan before he was traded to OAK and I had him in 1 dynasty league(traded him last night at the draft for Holt). Everyone say Culpepper is nothing without Moss, I say Moss is nothing without Culpepper. Chambers will score more FF points than Moss.
This has been proven false several times already. It's a shame you still can't see that.
but all he wants to do is go deep. I will take these WRs over MossCJHoltHarrisonS. SmithTO
So noted. But let's revisit this when Moss tweeks a groin in week 4, slowly heals for 10 weeks, badmouths his QB, and gets picked up for driving over another traffic cop. Trust me, if you draft Moss for your WR1, he will bitterly disappoint you.
How do you know what Moss wants to do? Ever think that maybe sending Moss deep is just a smart thing to do as a coach and OC. When Moss runs deep at least 2 guys go with him. If not, what you saw last night is the price they pay.
last year without Culpepper1005 yards 8 TDI know he was hurt but so was Culpepper.
Yeah all those other guys with Groin and Hammy injuries are healing so fast.
OK so you know he was hurt and acknowledge that is a major factor. Why not look at seasons when he wasn't. There are plenty of them.
you will regret it. Holt is playing in a new offense for the first time in his carrer. Harrison is ancient and has been surpassed on his own team. Smith is a very dangerous player but should see a few less redzone looks tihs year. TO is a cancer and cannot be trusted. CJ is the only player you can justify over Moss but at this point looks to have a lesser upside as he is not their #1 option in the redzone more like #3 behind rudi and Housh. Its false that Moss always wants to go deep it's just what hes best at so it's stupid not to utlize that ability. He runs alot of comeback as most coners give him a 10 yd cushion in respect
lets see. The last season he was healthy 2003
Smith, TO and Holt are not healthy now. Are you downgrading them too?
On a per game basis when HEALTHY and MOTIVATED Randy is the best WR in fantasy football. He catches long TDs. Often.But his health is now a question mark at this point in his career, especially with prior question marks about his lack of stretching, etc. Add to that the overall questions and doubts about the Raiders and it drops Moss in the preseason standings among the elite WRs.But again on a per game basis if he can keep his health and motivation and if the Raider OLine can give Brooks/Walter time, Moss is still a beast and will put up some crazy points.High risk, high reward.
1998 without Culpepper = 1300 yards and 17 TDs1999 without Culpepper = 1400 yards and 11 TDs
Not too mention some of his most pro-ductive games came with Todd Bouman under center when culpepper was hurt
i'll admit to being a sucker for Moss. would you also rate him #1 in a PPR league? I took Smith & CJ, but had Moss 3rd.
Receptions for aplayer like Moss are hard to gauge at this point. A new QB, new coach, uncertain #2 across from him. If all are healthy CJ will probaly finish with the most catches of the 3, with Smith I think the lack of a consitent running game and 2nd wr across from ihm probaly gave him10 catches more then this year. I could see CJ with 105, Smith with about 95 and Moss with 90 the difference is in td's where Moss should have 5 more then either counter part
Moss was everything with Randall Cunningham before there was a Culpepper
Moreover, Moss w/o CPep last year before injury:117 yds and 0.5 TDs per gameCPep w/o Moss last year before injury:223 yds, 0.85 TDs, 1.7 Ints per game
Culpepper was downright atrocious last year when he was healthy. He would have probably been even worse if not for his season ending knee injury.
This is where hate gets people in FF. They will justify every thing they can possibly think of to dismiss a player of Moss' ability and then after the draft look up and see a Smith/Moss tandam at WR and probably poo themselves wondering how it happened.
but I'm sure you already knew that.
