Lance Moore (1 Viewer)

[Deuce'sWild]

I've acquired, like many owners, Lance Moore through the waiver wire after his past 2 weeks of good play. He seems to be Brees's favorite target, right now. However, many injuries have contributed to this, namely Colston and Shockey but also Patten. Also, Meachem seems to be getting a few more looks lately too.

So, when these guys return, does Moore have any value, or is he a must sell high right now?

 

[TheNext0]

I'm holding onto him for a while (I have Brees and Shockey). There are rumblings that he will remain a starter even when Colston comes back. With Brees throwing for 300+ yards a game, he's always a good bet to see a bunch of targets.

The word is he has played himself into the #2 WR role even when Colston returns.......I think he is a Keeper

From the New Orleans Times-Picayune:

Q: With the depth at receiver we have what do you think will be on the field when out receivers get healthy? Do you see David Patten sticking around after this year? As much as I'm a fan of his, with other receivers being utilized more in other aspects of the game i.e. special teams I don't see him in the Saints' future after this season. John Jarvis.

A: This is a popular topic. Marc Guidry of Nacogdoches, Texas, Alex Barnes from Folson and John Bergeron of New Orleans asked similar questions. When Colston and Patten return, things are going to get crowded at wide receiver, indeed. John mentioned moving Colston to tight end but that's not going to happen. Colston wants no part of playing tight end and he'd have to learn an entirely new position on the fly. That's not an option. I would think Terrance Copper is going to be the odd man out on Sundays. I know he plays special teams but he's clearly the sixth receiver in the pecking order right now and there's no way the Saints can keep six of them active on game days. That would leave them too thin at some other position, probably cornerback and you need at least four of them active every week. At least one of either Henderson or Meachem will also be active on game days because they are the team's primary deep threats. Lance Moore has played his way into the No. 2 receiver spot. More important, Drew Brees loves him. There's no way he's not going to be active on Sundays. If had to guess, I'd say Copper is going to be the odd man out on Sundays. The Saints have played so many new guys on special teams in recent weeks because of the injuries they can find someone to fill Copper's role on special teams. Remember, Meachem was inactive earlier this season when this group was healthy so that would indicate to me that he would likely be the next guy to sit since none of the other guys has done anything to merit being benched. Moore is basically a younger, faster version of Patten and I think you might be correct in that Patten could become expendable next season. He was brought on board to mentor the younger players but that role is less important now that the young players have matured into veterans. But that's a long way off and a lot could happen between now and then before the Saints have to make that decision.

Raise your hand if you were torched by Saints wide receiver Lance Moore's surprise performance last week. Now get ready to see it again.

Well, maybe it's a stretch to say he will repeat the seven receptions for 101 yards and two scores he got last week against the 49ers. But Moore has caught the eye of Saints coaches and might get a chance to stick in a major role even when Marques Colston comes back from a fractured finger (in late October).

According to the New Orleans Times-Picayune, Moore is believed to have played his way into the No. 2 wide receiver spot this week. And that's a strong indicator that when Colston returns, Moore could see work as a No. 3. This is bad news for Devery Henderson owners, and David Patten owners should be concerned, too.

While some of you might be turning to that Moore owner in your league and saying, "Yeah, like he'll do that again," in regards to his Week 4 numbers, think again.

What separates Moore from the other Saints receivers is he is more consistent in the short routes. So while owners have to wait for Henderson, Patten, or even Robert Meachem to hit on that one big play each week, Moore is chewing up consistent yardage underneath. And with Jeremy Shockey and Colston out, the Saints need someone besides Reggie Bush to deliver in that area.

This week's opponent, the Vikings, has allowed 170.8 yards per game to wide receivers, which is seventh-worst in the league. Start Moore.

I am hoping to get him through waivers - though its unlikely as I have the last position.

 

[Deuce'sWild]

So it sounds like Patten is the odd man out? I'd think they would want Colston (all around), Moore (underneath) and Meacham or Henderson (deep threats) in the lineup.

Of course, Shockey coming back will get a lot of underneath looks too.

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Moore is not going anywhere. Don't sell high, and if you don't own him, see if his owner wants to sell high because they think this is temporary. It isn't. Moore has shown terrific hands, routes, quickness, toughness, effort, and most importantly, chemistry and timing with Drew Brees. The skills of Moore, Colston, and Henderson/Meachem fit together perfectly.

so are your saying he has some good dynasty value or probably just this year? I know little about the guy but would like to learn a little more.

Bloom, what if you already own colston (Team in sig. record 4-0)We start 4 wr, so when colston comes back...Marshall, Cal. Johnson, Colston, either Gonzo1/Gonzo2/or Moore at wr4?would you play both colston and moore (moss/welker to a lesser degree) or one of the gonzo's or package moore with a rb and get an upgrade at wr4? if so when is the best time to do this? and i would love to be able to use moore till colston is back if possible.i would appreciate anyones take on this one

 

[The Moz]

Moore is basically Wes Welker to Colston's Moss and Meechams Stallworth.

I see no reason things would change going forward - although he is an RFA next year, and his value would drop if he was signed away to a less pass happy team without an elite QB. I expect the Saints to lock him down soon. Until this year, he looked like a Bobby Wade/Welker type, but he has stepped up and looks even a little like a young Coles - in other words, a WR who can be more than a slot guy even though he's 5'9".

After the bye (Colston should definitely be back by then), NO draws ATL twice, KC, DET in the 7 games from week 10 to week 16, I would certainly feel comfortable starting both in those games. Even in the CHI, GB, and TB games, starting both is not a bad idea because Brees is liable to throw 50 passes for 400+ yards against tough defenses because the team will abandon the run. Not to mention depth for injuries. I would not be looking to trade Moore, especially if you're a Colston owner, because he's injury insurance - and Colston has not been the most durable, dating back to his college days at Hofstra when he lost a year due a shoulder injury.

I'm not sure where the "deep threat" stuff comes from. By all accounts, Moore is fast. I'd suspect that at 5'9", he'd have to be to have lasted into his third season and earn these starts. It may be that the position opposite Colston's in this offense tends more to the short and midrange patterns. If so, it would stand to reason that Moore getting those underneath catches is not an indication that he doesn't have deep speed or that they'll pull him to send Meacham or Henderson deep. Rather, it would simply mean that the patterns he runs are dictated by the offensive scheme and not some limitation or deficiency in Moore's ability.

Nawlins homers feel free to chime in as I am not that familiar with the nuances of the Saint's passing game and could be 100% wrong.

 

[gdub]

I have to admit I did not know a whole lot about Moore, but after reading a couple of threads during last week, I picked him up. The vibe I got was that he was a possession type reciever who won't catch the long ones or be a red zone target. Unless last week was a fluke, he caught a relatively long ball from 30 yards out and was also in for a 6 yard td. I think this guy can do a little bit of everything. While he isn't going to be running in a straight line for a 50 yard bomb or get a jump ball thrown his way in the endzone, maybe some scores will follow the next several weeks because of the sheer number of targets he gets. Curious to see him perform over the next 2-3 weeks.

 

[kerpow]

Moore is basically Wes Welker to Colston's Moss and Meechams Stallworth.

I would hope that Meachem would be less injury prone than Stallworth though

 

[grouse]

I watched both of the Saints last two games and was really impressed with Lance Moore's ability to get open. It's not so much a separation thing, as it was more about Moore having the sense of where the open spaces were and putting himself there. Combine the aforementioned point with the fact that David Patten doesn't really bring anything special to the table, and Drew Brees clearly has chemistry with Moore, it looks like a pretty safe bet that Lance Moore has solidified himself with WR3 / WR2 value for the remainder of the season.

A lot of people are advocating to hold Moore and not sell. And while I agree with the sentiment, it really boils down to what kind of depth you have at the WR position. Because Moore likely came to your roster via the waiver wire, if you were particularly rich at the WR position before Moore's arrival, he becomes a great candidate to sell high for reinforcements at other positions. At the end of the day, Moore has plenty of value going forward, it's just a question of what is the best way to maximize his value as it pertains to the makeup of your roster.

Great points. If I am able to get him I would be in that exact position. I would want to trade him for good RB3, depending on needs of other teams. I think Moore is likely a very good WR3 with WR2 upside..maybe for the entire season.

I've been offered Moore and Chris Johnson for B. Edwards and Buckhalter. Probably gonna accept that real quick like

[Gadabout]

I still remember Moore having a nasty case of the dropsies last year.

Wasn't the biggest fan of his, but it appears that those days are behind him.

Let him tear it up for another week and I will then become a believer.

 

[Maven]

Moore supporters,

please explain how Moore will continue upon his last week performance with Colston and Shockey returning to the lineup in a few weeks? There just aren't enough balls to go around.

SELL HIGH!

Forget Shockey, we've seen this movie before, injured, takes a few weeks off, comes back and plays well for 1 or 2 games, gets hurt again, misses parts of other games, etc..Moore is here to stay..

I am undecided on Moore still, but I will say this....there are more balls to go around in Nawlins than any other team in the NFL. Brees throws it a ton.

 

[Breesisdaman]

As a Saints homer living right smack dab in the middle of the city I will tell you that yes Lance Moore will lose value. I would sell high.

Colston will be the primary Target, Shocky will get the red zone and saftey blanket looks.David Patten when he returns will be #2 followed by Meachum who will get better every game and eventually beat Patten. Followed by Moore /Henderson followed by Copper. If the guys I listed in front of Moore are healthy, he takes a back seat and doesn't have near as many opportunities.

Thank you! I know its a reach but I just traded him for Roy Williams straight up. I know Roy has struggled but, hes still a #1 wideout and with Colston and Shockey returning soon, I think I got excellent value for a player getting shine because of injuries.

This was my initial thinking also. But if he continues to do well I don't see how he can not be #2 or #3 when Colston and Patten are healthy. He has outplayed Patten.

uh no, Wms is a #2 wideout. And he's got 8 catches all year. Another week or 2 of that and you should start seeing him on the WW. If I had Moore no freaking way would I consider Wms for him. I think Moore is a good starter now, sort of lukewarm later due to less touches.

I would unless they Bench Kitna for Stanton. Moore will be at best a #3. Sean Payton does not let Vets who have been hurt, who were starters before the injury lose their gig because of injury. See Deuce McAllister. Everyone had written him off for Pierre Thomas. Now if Patten under performs when he comes back (Which I seriously doubt) then Moore would see more work but Patten would still start. All this will be resolved though when Meachum takes his spot as the #2 receiver later in the year. He is the most talented player aside from Colston but needs to catch up playbook wise.Also if you are in Dynasty grab Adrian Arrington who was the best looking WR (Even looked better than Colston IMO) He was fantastic until he got hurt and placed on IR (Not the practice squad) because they want him for next year.

Well, Brees is on pace for 428 completions for 5236 yards after 4 games against:Tampa (curently 13th in total D, 21st in passing D)Washington (14th in total, 23rd in passing)Denver (30th in total, 31st in passing)San Fran (22nd in total, 19th in passing)Of course, he's 25% responsible for those not-so-hot D rankings...His next 12 games are:Minny (6th in total, 17th in passing) <--- This looks like a legitimately average passing D, but we already knew that.Oakland (17th in total, 20th in passing)Carolina (8th in total, 7th in passing) <--- Toughest D matchup so far.San Diego (28th in total, 32nd in passing)Atlanta (20th in total, 13th in passing) <--- Susceptibility to the run may be fluffing passing D numbers.Kansas City (29th in total, 14th in passing) <--- Ditto the passing D fluff argument.Green Bay (26th in total, 15th in passing) <--- Ditto the passing D fluff argument.Tampa 2.0 (13th in total, 21st in passing) <--- Brees threw for 343 against them week 1.Atlanta 2.0 (20th in total, 13th in passing)Chicago (16th in total, 28 in passing) <--- This looks like a legimately below average passing D.Detroit (32nd in total, 22 in passing) <--- Poor run D is fluffing the Passing D again.Carolina 2.0 (8th in total, 7th in pasing) <--- another tough D matchup, but it's in week 17 so for me it's N/A.So his schedule doesn't seem too tough either going forward. Brees has also done well at home and away.Now, the NO defense is pretty bad, ranking 27th in total D, 20th vs. the run and 29th vs. the pass.Brees isn't facing great D's for the remainder of the season and his D isn't doing much to put games away, so he's going to to have to keep scoring, probably on into the 4th quarter.I think this is a recipe for some gaudy passing numbers for Brees...which means lots of balls to go around. Given the number of completions and yards we could be talking here, I think Moore will get his share...especially if he earns the trust of Brees through the next few weeks.IMHO, Moore has simply beaten out Patten, Henderson and Meacham. He's starting now and one article I saw said he's going to remain the starter even after Patten comes back...which means he's also starting over Henderson. Henderson is in his 6th season so I'm not expecting him to break out and threaten Moore. Patten is turning to dust before our eyes and Moore has been described as a younger, faster, more athletic Patten. If I'm a Meacham owner, I'm disgusted that he can't beat out Moore for the starting spot...Meacham's in his third year and should be pushing for this job given his pedigree and talent but he doesn't seem to be.Shockey is a name. Why people see him as a great threat to other receivers' numbers is a mystery to me. And how important has the TE position been to Brees since he came to New Orleans? Shockey's an upgrade in talent, but when Brees has no trouble eclipsing 4,000 yards without sending more than 50 balls to his TE's, I don't know why people would expect him to forget he has a WR2 on the field and suddenly decide he has to feed Shockey.

 

[-baller]

so, you think brees will put up good #'s this year?

 

[JamesTheScot]

so, you think brees will put up good #'s this year?

I'm saying I think he's going to put up such good numbers that Moore as a WR2 in that offense has value down the stretch even after Colston and Shockey come back. There very well could be enough balls to go around.Why the sarcasm?

Well you kinda Sarah Palin'd your answer but I understand (lol jk!). I still think Lance will revert back to average do too..1. Return of Colston - Top goaline threat, targets hoarder and Brees favorite. He's their best offensive weapon. Safe to say he'll take ATLEAST 1-2 looks away from Lance Moore a game when he gets back, right? So lets say thats -2 looks.2. Return of Shockey - Another redzone threat who will take away from Moores targets. Safe to say he'd take atleast 1 look away from Moore a game?3. Meachem, Devery, Patten - Meachems has showed great signs, Deverys the home run threat of the WR core and Patten is sort of the possession wr. Again, Patten is banged up and was #2 to start the season. When healthy provides another target option for Brees. Lets say this group of wrs takes about .5-1 target away from Moore.4. Bush - no explanation neededAfter all this, with all players healthy, things should revert to how they use to be. The bottomeline target wise is...ColstonBushShockeyEveryone Else (3 other wrs) / Lance MooreAt most you're looking at 5 or less targets a game when these players are all healthy.I just dont see where Moore can break that target hierarchy for the Saints.You gotta sell high on him.

Pretty impressed with yourself huh? Looks like you got fleeced to me.

 

[Deadzone21]

Shockey is still out. Colston is back but I give him another week to catch up to this offense. Even if everyone gets healthy, the consensus is Lance Moore earned the WR2 spot. With this offense and Brees' hot arm, Lance definitely has value. On top of that, it appears he's become a favorite target for Brees. I don't see that all going way with Colston's return, at least not right off the bat, especially if Colston attracts the focus on coverage.

Sportsline is reporting Colston out.

News: The Saints ruled WR Marques Colston (thumb) and TE Jeremy Shockey (hernia) inactive for Week 6 vs. Oakland. The duo returned to practice this week, but Colston came into the game as questionable and Shockey was doubtful.

Seems like Moore is a decent play again.

Shockey is still out. Colston is back but I give him another week to catch up to this offense. Even if everyone gets healthy, the consensus is Lance Moore earned the WR2 spot. With this offense and Brees' hot arm, Lance definitely has value. On top of that, it appears he's become a favorite target for Brees. I don't see that all going way with Colston's return, at least not right off the bat, especially if Colston attracts the focus on coverage.

Sportsline is reporting Colston out.

News: The Saints ruled WR Marques Colston (thumb) and TE Jeremy Shockey (hernia) inactive for Week 6 vs. Oakland. The duo returned to practice this week, but Colston came into the game as questionable and Shockey was doubtful.

Seems like Moore is a decent play again.

Thanks for the update! That definitely bodes well for Lance Moore.

Many cheatsheets and projections for week 6 probably factored in Colston's return. I would think this news warrants a few last minute lineup changes for Lance Moore.

Colston coming back will hurt Moore's number same thing when Shockey returns. But to think he will fall off the FF map is not looking at the production he has put up in his time. Patten might be a vet that earned the starting job, but as the season pregresses teams make changes.

Moore should still be a WR3/4 in FF, as he keeps the starting job opposite side of Colston. Saints are going to be using the passing game to move the ball this season. Payton knows how to use the tools he has and Moore will have his spot in the game plan every week.

The issue I see is that Henderson/Meacham are almost designated as the deep threats and Colston will eat up most other WR looks when he returns fully healthy. The "WR2" in N.O. is a misnomer b/c the position's regular target ratio is sucked up by Bush. Plus, the team plays with three-wide so often that "the WR2 starter" is not necessarily going to see more targets than any other WR (as is evidence by the numbers - Moore does not see significantly greater targets than the deep threats). Additionally, Patten will get some time.

I think banking on Moore to continue his fantasy worth after Colston and Shockey (and ultimately Patten) return simply because he is starting on a team that hucks the ball is not going to pay off. Ultimately, I think there are too many weapons, and Colston, Bush and Shockey are the only ones with clearly defined roles in the passing game.

I hope he has a good game this week and Ican sell him high, but he is not in my long term plans on any of my redraft teams. In a dynasty league, he should remain on your roster as he could very well take over a more prominent role next year.

He'd been on my dynasty squad off and on for a time. Picked him up again two weeks ago.

Sold high.

Could regret it. I really like him. I wouldn't be surprised if he locks up the #2, keeping Meachem, Patten and Henderson at bay indefinitely. But I'm not willing to count on it.

Moore is looking good so far with Colston back in action........

Moore is looking good so far with Colston back in action...

Amazing the lack of respect he still gets. Just this past week in this forum, people are talking about dropping him, or saying he's availavble on the waiver wire in their league. That's crazy talk. What more does he have to prove?Moore's point totals the last seven games in my PPR league:298164211924

I have somehow talked myself into benching him the last couple of weeks. Hasn't hurt me yet, but I can't see how I can do it again.
