Who's sitting Randy Moss this week? (1 Viewer)

Revis has absolutely shut down Andre Johnson and Randy Moss and Steve Smith in match ups last year and year before.... what do you do with Moss next week? I just cannot think of starting him next week.... obviously it comes down to who your other match ups are but darn it.....

 
Let's see what he does vs. Boldin I guess. I'd probably rank him outside the top 10. If you have a guy like Nicks as your reserve that's one thing but if you have a Gaffney type it'd be tough to make that reach.

Not sure it would be that tough. Remember, not only does Revis probably reduce Moss' scoring overall, but if the Jets get the ball in the red zone, how likely are they to target the guy Revis is covering when it really counts? It seems as though even if he manages to have a respectable game, Moss is less likely to get touchdowns.
 
You start Moss. He noted the challenge of facing Revis in his press conference. Moss will be at his best next week.

 
With Cromartie in the fold for the Jets, and Welker appearing to be healthy, I'm not convinced Revis will even be on Moss next Sunday.

Revis wasn't locked up on Boldin tonight? Anyone have any ideas why that is? It seemed like Revis was covering the right side, and it didn't matter what WR was over there, that's where he stayed. Is that what he did last year? If so, Moss could simply line up on the left side to escape him?

Cromartie and Kyle Wilson played pretty poorly last night. I don't think putting either of them on Moss would be a good idea for the Jets. Then again, if NY puts Revis on Welker and doubles Moss they could have a better chance of shutting the Patriots down.Kris Jenkins was hurt last night too. After his injury the Jets struggled to generate a pass rush. I don't think they can blitz Brady on every 3rd down like they did with Flacco, who was still successful in getting rid of the ball for the most part.
There was a guy around here last season that started a thread saying he was benching Moss against Revis. That guy got lambasted around here for being an idiot. "Never bench your studs, etc." Moss had 4 catches for 24 yards in the first game and 5 catches for 34 yards with a TD in the second. :clap:

The key will be the NYJ pass rush. The NYJ pass rush is what makes the Jets D work. If they get handled by the NE Oline the way they got handled by the Balt Oline then Moss and everyone else will get theirs. I don't think the NE Oline is as good as Balt, but then again Jenkins is now out so that may play a huge role in favor of the Pats. If Brady has the time to throw that Flacco did, he will not miss those open guy over the top of the D like Flacco. One thing that definitely stood out to me last night is that Balt WRs (who pale in comparison to NEs group) to were able to get behind the Jets secondary with frequency. That is not a problem you want to have going into a game vs. NE who has Randy Moss, Wes Welker and Tom Brady.

:goodposting: If Rex is smart, he'll put Revis on Welker and try to double Moss on deep routes.
If they do this then Brady will have a field day with this TEs. Absolute field day. Both of the big plays to the TEs last week came vs. a very similar coverage to this by the Bengals. Moss runs off 2 defenders deep and the TE is open by about 10 yds.
 
Who's sitting Randy Moss this week and going with another option because of Revis? I'm curious what the FF world thinks.....

 
I sat Boldin for Percy Harvin last week and it was a mistake. Revis wasn't matching up to Boldin every down and I don't think they can do it again this week with Welker on the other side.

 
Never sit your studs. You want to sit an average #1 against Revis, go ahead. But the top 5-6 guys in the league, you start, every game.

Giving he hates the Jets so much Tommy will make sure to throw at least 3 touchdowns on Revis Island so unless Revis flees after the 2nd TD Moss goes Nicks this week.

Hannah Storm was interviewing Moss this morning on SC and told him Revis called him a slouch. Moss said "Well he has to deal with this slouch for 60 minutes on Sunday". Start Moss, Brady will give him his chances. All you want is opportunity.

 
The Patriots will test the Jets secondary. I think they will have their handful with Moss, Welker, Hernandez, and Gronkowski.

 
Ok I'll bite....if I had him, I don't, but if I did, I would sit him....I think he blankets Moss all day, different from how he moved around in the BAL game....

Moss can talk all he wants about dealing with him for 60 minutes, but Revis is special....I believe he has shown that he can shut down Moss in the past, I don't see that changing just cause Randy is in a contract year or because somebody hates the Jets so much......none of that really has to do with how the game is played....Moss isn't going to have a big game....he may make a play or something but that is about it......this is the perfect time to take advantage of the superior drafting ability you have because of this site and play your WR 3-5 that has a decent matchup and a better chance to get you some points....I will be interested to see where the experts rank Moss this week, I think it will still be too high wherever it is, even though it will most likely be lower than where they rank Moss most of the time.....

correct me if I am wrong, but hasn't Moss done VERY little in the past in this matchup......

while I am not big on Moss, I think the other WR's for NE could be solid plays.......Brady will have much better options than testing Revis......

Welker is going to have a huge day if Ryan puts that rookie db on him. Good chance that Revis spends most of his day on Welker and Moss draws help from a safety.

unless Revis shot up to 6'4, start Moss
 
In 6 games where Revis was likely covering Moss, here's how Randy has fared. The first game was Revis' first game in the NFL.

Older games first . . .

9-183-1

5-79-0

2-22-0

3-26-1

4-24-0

5-34-1

I generally agree with starting your studs . . . but in this case I think it depends who your other options are. I don't own Moss at all, so I don't even have to explore that as a possibility.

I just simply think Brady will have way too many other options to justify going at Revis just because they want to prove a point or something.......why test the guy when you can go elsewhere......it's not like he hasn't earned his nickname.....quite honestly it would be kind of dumb to go at him and have him make a couple of picks against you.....then people are like "what the hell were you thinking"......I give the edge to Revis in almost every matchup.......it will be fun to watch, but I just don't think Moss is going to put up the numbers that one of your other WR's will, and I am assuming most people on here have some depth at WR......I think there is a better chance of Moss throwing up a 2-37-0 type day than going 6-90-1 or whatever you would normally expect......I think those numbers are to be had elsewhere on your roster this week........

It'll be interesting to see who people decide to sit Randy for as the week moves along. The Patriots will likely put the ball in the air close to 50 times in this game. You have to like Randy's chances to get under a few of those.

Average is 5.65 PT's per game for 2008/2009. However, if we go back to the 2007 season, Revis's rookie season and Brady's record breaking season, then you have 16.1 pts/game. Looks like a roll of the die...

This. Revis certainly did not cover one guy last night and I am guessing since Moss and Welker are both as good as Mason/Boldin/Housh that Revis will probably not be on one guy all night. I don't own Moss but with the way Cromartie was playing last night, even just a few passes Moss' way against Cromartie could make it worth your while for the game.

DON'T BENCH YOUR STUDSYeah I know all the stats on Revis vs receivers, but it only takes one play for Randy Moss to catch a long TD pass and beat anybody on your bench
 
If you are sitting Randy in week 2, why did you even draft him in the first place? Your basically telling the rest of the league that you think Moss's 14 games will outweigh a Reggie Wayne, Roddy White, Larry Fitz, etc over 16 games.

 
Coach Rex Ryan confirmed that Darrelle Revis will be used to shadow Randy Moss in this week's game.

Moss was limited to nine catches and 58 yards in two trips to Revis Island last season. He won't be an elite fantasy option this week, but it's like not fantasy owners are going to keep Moss' potential on the bench.

Revis just got a fat contract for games like this.....shutting down the elite WR's in the league.....while BAL has some nice WR's.....they are not Randy Moss.....if you are NYJ, do you really want somebody else covering Moss when you just gave Revis a ton of money to do that......the other side of this would be Moss making a play with Crom or somebody on him and people asking "Rex, why the heck didn't you have Revis on him"....

Keep in mind that those 3rd and 4th games were with Matt Cassel, and Brady wasn't quite himself last year. He appears to be back to 100% now, so that will help Moss. Plus, I am not convinced that the Jets will be content with Revis staying on Moss all day if Welker kills them all day with short passes. Brady to Welker will kill them with long drives all day if that happens.

Same thing could be said after Welker picks them apart.

I completely agree with you. I guess my point here is just that to go along with that, do you want someone else covering Welker who I believe is also one of the elite WR's in the league. Boldin is not Moss and Mason is not Welker or Boldin and for whatever reason Revis was spending as much time on Mason as he was on Boldin. Whoever Cromartie covers this week is going to light it up, I believe. If they make that Welker the whole game so that Moss does not beat them then I agree Moss will not score well. I will just be surprised if Moss is on Revis island for whole game after seeing him basically just cover one side against the Ravens who have a solid (not as good as NE but still solid) group of WR's.

because you think you will get 14 pretty solid weeks out of him......if you did not factor Revis into your decisions about Moss and Marshall (not going to count Lee Evans, cause they only play BUF once during fantasy season) than that is up to you, but it's pretty clear, Revis is one of the very few, take it to the bank, fantasy factors out there......Brandon Marshall owners are staring at Revis during one of the most crucial fantasy weeks for many.....
