why not Lance Moore Thread? (1 Viewer)

[Hipple Long Ware & Peete]

Ok this guy is coming off an electric performace with 6 cathes and 149s on his 7 targets. He's the slot guy wih bush out. They are playing a crappy carolina team who they will probably beat by 20 points. And yet he's only getting 2 cathes?

Just doesn't make sense. I know it's early in the week but I donn't see that at all. I'd say with bushes absence that he would have a floor of 4 catches for 60 and at least .5 chance of getting a td, with it more likely that he gets 6 for 80-90.

then he should put his bush away...

i started him last week with confidence. i'll start him this week with confidence. and next week too, regardless of how this week goes.

Thats why Bloom does 2nd look projections and the other projections get updated as the week goes on. Bloom has him @22: 5 for 61 w/ 0.5 TD

 

[cvnpoka]

esp with pierre banged up and rb depth weak, they gonna throw a lot.

 

[cubbie5150]

I fully expect Devery Henderson to blow-up this week. Trust not a Saints WR...even Colston.

So true. Seems like when you think you got them figured out, another one is THE guy that week.While I don't agree with the low original ranking posted, it wouldn't surprise me, nor would him finishing higher than #22, maybe as high as #3.

 

[jbz]

Dave Thomas 5 for 115 and 2 TDs. Book it Dan-o

Dave Thomas 5 for 115 and 2 TDs. Book it Dan-o

Which McKenzie brother did Dave Thomas portray? Bob or Doug? Always get them confused.

 

[Acrobat7]

So this week I'm gonna start Colston AND Moore while probably benching Ray Rice and Best. One of them has to go off for something like 12-150-2 while the other has 3-45-0, right? right??

It will be Meachem or Henderson this week.

No Meachem is droppable. Better pick up Henderson to cover all the bases.And then you have to worry that if the Saints get ahead, they make the game Chris Ivory's personal tryout.

 

[Black]

Until Re Bush comes back, I expect a 5/6 catches week for 60-80 yards, TD periodically. In tough games, he might get another big game.

He's a WR2-3 in PPR for a few weeks.

 

[bicycle_seat_sniffer]

He could go nuts or he could get a 0.

Saints spread it too much

 

[RushHour]

I kind of agree with the OP - it does seem far too low against a decent matchup. I understand that the Saints spread it around and it's a lottery, but this seems more about Bush being out than what happens with the other WRs. Brees also talked after the game about needing to get him more involved - I doubt he suddenly disappears again. He probably won't go off like last week, but I'm stating him with (relative) confidence.

 

[Grigs Allmoon]

Kind of off topic, but kind of related... How do you get to the FBG rankings? I can't find it in the "enhanced" navigation.

 

[SSOG]

I think he meant the guy who started Wendy's.

 

[HoTnickZ]

I must be one of the only ones thinking he will have another good week. I think the inconsistency is a bit overblown.

 

[cr8f]

New Orleans receivers are like a box of chocolates....

Yes but the last time Bush was out Moore did well. He has better hands than Meachem or Henderson and Brees trusts him. Replacing Reggie-20088 NO SD 6 90 1 10 NO ATL 6 76 1 11 NO KC 8 102 1 12 NO GB 5 115 2 Last year was a down year and can be thrown out in my opinion because he is now healthy. His dependability is much like Collie's to Peyton.

Pick week 4, this is the ranking

 

[Liquid Tension]

Can anyone explain what is going on with Meacham? I mean I know Colston hasn't gotten much, but Meacham is not even part of the offense and this guys was a young stud last year ranking about 20th? is he hurt? Did he sleep with Brees' wife? What's up? NO homers?

Do you have my team? I'm going with Colston and Moore this week, though I might start Rice despite the awful matchup/semi-injury.

He could go nuts or he could get a 0. Saints spread it too much

This is sad in a way.Last year the Saints learned the importance of power running, and run/pass balance. To great effect, rthe result was beyond fantastic.Now, no Bush, and PT either limited or out. What I saw from Ivory in real regular season action (vs preseason) was not encouraging; the fumble almost predictable.Brees has looked to Meachem and Henderson this year. He has missed when Meach was open and henderson has had a horrible return to his dropsie habits.Moore is the ball control option and big plays like we saw from him vs ATL are possible because defenses get so bothered covering all the other stuff and Moore has the talent to make them pay for it.The capper: Brees as we saw vs ATL got dinged in the knee. He's always a quick release artist but more so than ever he will be quickly getting rid of the ball. The Charlotte Ti-Cats will not be given the time or chance to get near him. Result: lots of targets for Moore. And it's in the Dome and the Saints are NOT in the mood for field goals and are sick and tired of close games. I think Moore will have another great game; I have him, I'm starting him.

Valid reasoning. Been down this road with Lance a couple years ago, albeit under different circumstances. Remain "on the fence" for now.

You seem to work so hard to validate starting Moore. If you feel that good about him, then start him. Good luck.

 

[David Dodds]

He is now at #32 in PPR among WRs. He will go higher if Pierre Thomas scratches as well. That's the issue with these early projections. Stuff I do on Monday / Tuesday is working with about half of my tool set just to get something out.

By Thursday / Friday, I have all the tools at my disposal and the numbers jive a lot closer to numbers I stand behind.

Knowing how streaky Moore has been in his career, personally I'd rate him much higher. Agree with the OP..

Would that be a paddlin'?

 

[Hipple Long Ware & Peete]

when bush is present yes. without bush (and with lance filling that slot role) not so much. I'd be shocked if he gets less than 4 catches this week.

You know it.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Ok, this week Lance Moore is ranked No. 33 by DTN/FG.

Bloom has him at 23.

2 weeks ago he was No. 3 in my league.

Last week he was No. 15. He fumbled one ball at the goal line, and he nearly took another red zone pass in. He was a yard and a block away from a 3 TD day.

This week he has AZ.

And I am starting him. Again.

 

[netnalp]

Same here. Haven't seen any information indicating that R. Bush is close to being on the field soon too.

 

[Team ROFLCOPTERS]

I'm starting him without thinking twice. Rankings are not the end all be all. Use your own eyes and gut or you will end up kicking yourself. In this case, I think Sig is spot on. He's a WR2 until further notice.

 

[THE FANTASY KING]

I'm probably starting him over Colston in one league. I do not understand why he's ranked so low.

THE FANTASY KING

dropped him to pick up Tate (NE)...

Wow, didn't realize he was so close to going off like that. He's basically locked into my lineup until Reggie Bush returns. Then I'll still keep him in as long as he produces. He's a fantastic WR3.

 

[Sabertooth]

dropped him to pick up Tate (NE)...

Hope that doesn't cost you wins. It may prove to be a good move for the long haul. But I bet you give up points at least until Reggie Bush gets back.

 

[skinsrule05]

dropped him to pick up Tate (NE)...

Ouch, that's going to hurt. The one plus in this move is that I doubt Moore is a long term play. So if you are not relying on either one for a couple weeks it could work out for you.

 

[purestrength]

dropped him to pick up Tate (NE)...

Oh my. You're not going to like watching the results of that.Better luck next season.

I'll probably start him till bush comes back. Now with Andre back it will be a gaffney vs moore decision and I am on the fence. But zone is soooooo bad, especially on his bread and butter... screen passes.

 

[Hipple Long Ware & Peete]

dropped him to pick up Tate (NE)...

depending on your team this could be ok. two weeks ago i had roddy/andre/nicks (who i dealt for mjd) If I had that team (ie did not need immediate production) I might make this move too as Tate could be a stud going forward, though I think he's more likely to be devrey henderson-lite where the big weeks are followed by disappearing acts.

Bloom you copying off my paper?

 

[Hipple Long Ware & Peete]

fwiw

Robert Meachem was on the field for a season-high 28 snaps in Week 4.

Meachem's role is gradually increasing at a snail's pace. He still came in fourth in terms of playing time among wide receivers, with Lance Moore getting 47 snaps and Devery Henderson seeing 56. Meachem is going to eventually get there, but he's still the No. 4 receiver.

Lance Moore-WR- Saints Oct. 3 - 5:53 pm et

Lance Moore caught five passes for 37 yards with a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Panthers.

Moore could have had a second touchdown, but he fumbled at the goal line after taking a monster hit. He ended up with eight targets, confirming his status as a decent PPR option in deeper formats. With Reggie Bush (leg) out, the Saints are drawing up plays for Moore in the red zone.

 

[Hank Mardukas]

I"m going with Moore over Randy Moss this week. I still want to see what role Moss will have and with PT out and the Saints struggling offensively, Brees is going to look to the guys he's comfortable with more than ever. I see a big game for Moore.
