Santana Moss this season? (1 Viewer)

Santana Moss is off to a great start this year. What kind of season do you see him having???

Moss is usually great until he gets dinged up. Happens with some frequency - the last time he was fully healthy for a season was 2005, when he got 1500 yards. Last two years he has missed a couple of starts, and been ineffective in some other games due to lame legs.

A healthy 16-game Moss should be good for 1300 yards and 7-8 TDs. Odds say that won't happen though.

A great season, guy

I had silently anticipated that he would have a great and consistent year. His skill set is perfect for the West Coast system. I think he will produce good stats in every game this year.

Santana looks like he's worked hard at strength and conditioning in the offseason. After he ran through a few arm tackles in the Saints game, I found myself thinking: man, he actually reminds me of Steve Smith. He's obviously the focal point of the passing game and Campbell is at least an average NFL QB, so if he can stay healthy, I see no reason why he can't continue to put up top-end WR2 numbers for the year.

He played well late last season and so far that level of play has carried over to this season.

Not a good time to trade for him though. Wait until he has a dud game and then make a move.

Agree with all the replies - Moss looks like the guy who was a WR1 for fantasy in his best years, not the disappointment of 2007.

Thanks guys. I have a chance to get Santana Moss for Bryant Johnson and Edge. I think I'll probably pull the trigger.

A. Randle El will be a great poss. receiver , and Moss is to be the homerun threat...thats the way it looks to be panning out so far..El has a lot of potential value,due to Moss' injury-prone stature.but both are viable WR's!

I know - I could see Moss exploding for 1400 yards and 8-10 TDs the way he has played early. Or will this be another one of his 650 yards and 3 TD seasons??

That depends on whether he gets injured or not. If he's healthy he's going to catch a lot of balls this year.

I wrote this an a Moss thread earlier in the week:

Around 15 give or take a few spots up or down is about right. Last week I thought he looked good after the catch, very elusive and so fast. The Skins will have there ups and downs though. One week Moss will get you huge yards and a score or two. The very next week he could just as easily put up 3 for 26. He is a hot and cold WR in my short memory.

He's the kind of guy historically who will have 8 TD's, but with six of those 8 scored in 2 or 3 games over the course of the year; his yardage can work the same way. He's very volatile. This comes from two things: chronic leg problems that he seems to get (usually nagging groin and hammy problems) and the shakiness and conservatism of the Redskins passing offense in recent years. If he's healthy like he is now, and the QB can make plays like Campbell did on Sunday, then Moss should be able to put up big numbers pretty regularly. I've maintained for some time that Moss is another Steve Smith, though most people don't think that way because people for whatever reason know Smith better. He's absolutely outstanding reacting to the deep ball in the air, a lot like Smith is, and he's equally explosive in the open field. I think he's a reasonably good gamble on a buy low right now just because he's healthy and the offense seems to be improving and opening up with Zorn (though I certainly expect more growing pains). Most Moss owners will be caught up on his past, but I think he may be able to exceed expectations by putting up good numbers more consistently this year than he has in any recent year except for 2005. He's a better WR in a league that rewards big plays than he is in one that is simply PPR, however, as he's typically not a PPR monster, and Zorn's offense likes to spread the ball around.
