At this point, I have stuck with him as my WR3 to a 6-0 record, so I am just standing pat unless I can get an upgrade to Holt or otherwise... He has started to show signs of life, and his targets have been going up, so things may be starting to turn.
Yea, but Braylon Edwards?? That is consistency?
Agreed. As long as expectations are tempered, he should be a decent producer, but his days of being a #1 WR are over for probably the year, though I wouldn't be suprised with a couple of blow up games with Brooks.
At this point in the season both are comparable and inconsistent, but going forward I think Edwards production curve is upward and maybe steeply upward. Moss has the potential to implode and possibly be deactivated this year ala TO and Philly last year.
His last three weeks he has all produced quality fantasy numbers. He's clearly involved in the game plan, evidenced by the fact that he was targetted 12 times against a quality Denver defense. Remember, he's played 3 games against San Diego, Baltimore, and Denver- three pretty ridiculously good defenses here- and scored a TD in his other two games against SF and Cleveland. He's not as bad as he's looked early on due to a tough schedule and a new QB. He should outproduce this pace for the rest of the season.
My thoughts exactly. Although I was disheartened by the aligator arms he showed on that deep pass in the end zone where he went up and turned his body when he felt Lynch about to hammer him. The old Randy Moss would have caught that ball.Edit to add: He still has to come to San Diego, and play against Champ again in Oak, so although the matchups overall should get better, life in the AFC West isn't what it used to be for WRs 3-4 years ago.SSOG said:
That would be a terrible trade IMO, even though Moss has been outscored by Keyshawn.
Moss will be better with Brooks back. Keyshawn will be worse with Steve Smith back.
uh he has had ONE good week so far this year (vs SF). wtf w 8 pts or less (assuming std scoring) being "quality fantasy numbers." He's worth trying to get cheap from a disgusted Moss owner if you have roster space, but probably can't get him for what he's worth due to "potential"......
I hope you're right brother. I took him at 3.02 in WCOFF and thought I got a steal. Being a Raiders fan sucks big time these days for sure. At least FF helps me keep my mind on something non-Raiders related.RAIDERNATION said:Now that the trade deadline has passed, his agent will get in his ear and tell him "Ummm, Randy? If you want some other team to trade for you in the offseason, it might be a good idea to start trying again.
But that's my theory just beacuse nobody in my league will give me squat for him.
Randy Moss over the last 3 weeks has 26.3 fantasy points. He ranks 19th in the entire NFL over that span. Nineteenth. Which means unless you are in a 6-team league, or an 8-team league that only starts 2 WRs, Moss has posted *very startable numbers* over the last three weeks.I'm not saying that Moss has singlehandedly won his owners games over the past three weeks, I'm simply saying that Moss has performed like a quality startable member of a winning fantasy roster. Anytime my THIRD wide receiver is producing top-20 point totals over any given stretch, I'm pretty darn satisfied with that.

Let's not all overreact here. Just because Randy Moss hasn't been Randy Moss doesn't mean he hasn't been a quality fantasy producer.
And I totally agree with you. Everything always ends up being relative to expectations. He's been an average WR2 up to this point. If I'm betting I would expect his production to step up because we've seen his floor, and Randy Moss' floor ain't too bad despite all the chicken little talk.
Keyshawn's numbers are overinflated due to Steve Smith missing the first few weeks. Moss has a much higher ceiling.
I realize that the Cardinals are, well, the Cardinals so we might want to discount some of week 7 stats, but if Walters has begun to build a chemistry with Moss, and the last few week indicate that might be the case, would a move back to Brooks possibly hurt Moss' production going forward?
Not at all. The Cardinals were just as aggressive as they were Monday night. This is the same Cardinal defense which brought previously all-world Rex Grossman back to his rightful home on planet Suckitude. They apply (boat)loads of pressure and Walter demonstrated a lot of poise today.If Walter continues to improve, there won't be a move back to Brooks. As it stands now, Walter is targeting Randy early and often. He doesn't mind throwing it to him when he's doubled (sometimes tripled) and Walter clearly has more trust in him than any other pass catcher on the field. Moss' uncharacteristic drops are the only thing keeping him from Holt-like numbers over the past few weeks. So yeah, downgrade Moss if/when Brooks returns.
