Santana Moss vs STL (1 Viewer)

Is this a matchup to start him over Denarius Moore, Brandon Lloyd or Santonio Holmes. Leaning towards starting over Holmes. I have DNelson too to make it worse.

 
The "book" on Santana Moss (and rightfully so), is that he is a boom/bust player and has been for his career. 2011 is a small sample size (granted), but he literally has been as consistent thus far as a WR can be:

Week 1: 6/76

Week 2: 5/61/1TD

Week 3: 5/70

If you are in a PPR and want to solidy that last WR slot on roster with at least 10 points, he is the guy you go with. I happen to won both Lloyd and Holmes in a PPR, and would be happy to have Moss at this point just for the consistency...yes, I am seconding guessing myself as I write this, but he has looked good/young for his age, and they look for him in the passing game...not for the game breaking throw, but as a part of the every down strategy.

So far this season he has been targeted at least 8 times in each game Week 1: 8Week 2: 9Week 3: 8I'm trying to decide between him and Bowe this week myself
 
Unfortunately in a none ppr, but iany insite on how Baltimore will play Holmes vs STL on Moss? I think the Jets pass more but I don't know either teams DBs beside Ed Reed and Jimmy Smith not sure if he is healthy tho? When I think about the numbers those are real solid with a little upside!

I have been riding with Santana Moss as a consistent scorer each week. Grossman seems to look to him often, and at least so far, he's good for a solid performance every week. If he happens to break out or get a TD, you have a top 5-10. I'll take his 15 points and be happy.

 
The thing with his consistency is that it seems to be his baseline. He hasn't had a great game yet....not very many long catches yet (only 12.9 yds/rec with a long of 36), and only 1 TD so far. He breaks a long one or catches multiple TD's and suddenly your 10-15 pts becomes 20.

I like it.

 
He's actually the one I never think about in my PPR (start 3 WR, TE required, no flex).

Obvs he's not a NBYS type, but I know what his baseline is, and it's nice having a reliable WR. I go for boom/bust with the other two WR.

(plan B since Reggie Wayne sucks donkey balls)

 
I love having Moss as my number 2 on two teams. Like has been said, he is a reliable guy who will almost always get you solid points. Players like that are integral to winning consistently, as you aren't gonna get studs across the board. Having S Moss as my 2nd WR in a league where I have Ray Rice, AP and V-Jax as my top 2 RBs and number 1 WR is just fine with me (auction league, for those wondering how I got Rice AND AP).

I am definitely going to start him over 2 target Holmes until he shows the offense will even remotely start looking at him again. Don't know what happened from last year to this year but it''s pathetic.

Your other question...D. Moore is tougher cause he has a dream matchup and could very well go over 100 and a TD easy.

He was very consistent in 2010 as well: 5 or more receptions in 13/16 games.
 
He used to be boom bust but not anymore. He's a over the middle guy slot receiver type. He's ppr gold. He was boom bust earlier in his career when he was used more as a deep threat.

Redskins fans have been thinking he could be a Welker-type receiver for a couple years now. Last year, they started to use him like that. Of course, he doesn't have Tom Brady throwing to him so his ceiling is limited.
 
I've got Moss in as my WR3 right now over Manningham and Holmes (alongside AJ and D. Moore). I like his matchup better, on carpet, against an atrocious STL pass D. I see easily an 8/80/1 day. I'll be shocked if he doesn't score.
