Randy Moss... could be a big second half bust

[dabearsaregreat]

Hes banged up and it's not looking good for his owners. I traded Corey Dillon for him and he hasn't done anything, and on top of this he has no trade value.... What do you guys think about him from here on out???

[giants!]

if he continues to play limited snaps hell heal yp quicker. best u could hope for is that he sits out two games and comes back at 100 percent

I think he'll actually do better if he gets healthy - with the emergence of Jordan and (maybe) Porter, he won't see triple coverage on every single play anymore. Plus, that offence has a lot of new aquisitions and young players and will naturally get better with time.

I dont think he will do any better, but i dont think he will do worse, i believe he will be bringin in the same "average" number, with nothing special

[ActiOnJunkie76]

All I want is 80 yrds and 1 td, in weeks 15 and 16 from him, I also want a healthy Holt getten me his 140 yrds and td in those weeks!!!!!!!!!!

[Wesley Walker]

Let's think logically about it -- Weeks 1-5 he was healthy. Week 6 he got banged up.. Week 7 he played banged up and scored anyway. Week 8 he played banged up and did very little.

He's averaging 4.5 catches for something near 85 yards per game, despite the fact that he's been banged up.. He's scoring a TD every other game, but if he's healthy that could obviously increase. AND he's averaging 20 yards per catch -- so in my league at least, that's 1 fantasy point every time he touched the ball.

The downside is that he's never caught more than 5 passes in a game in his Raiders career. The upside is that he's almost certain to catch more than 5 passes in at least a few future games.

He's been under-utilized and injured for the whole season now. I don't think the Raiders picked him up to throw to him 5 times per game. So once he's healthy, he's money.

It's academic though, since his trade value stinks -- his value to a team is as a starter, not as trade bait. Hold onto him and hope for the best.

Two good things:

1. He practiced Monday.
2. He faces KC this week and the over/under is 52 points.

Last year, Moss playing while injuryed, was a joke. Okay so a pulled hamstring is a big deal but he is no doubt less than 100% the past few weeks. Even before the injury he did not look like the Moss of old. If you saw the Dallas game, you should remember when Randy caught a 60yrd bomb that should of been a 85yrd TD until T.Newman caught up and tackle him. Moss had at least 5 yrds on him. He didn't have the speed I was used to seeing from him.

Lamont Jordan has found his groove in Oakland, he is the redzone back that Moss never competed with in Minn. Collins doesn't throw the bomb to the back of the endzone like Cpep used to and difintely not as much.

This could be Moss 's worst year besides last year. That being said, no way you can trade him and get value right now so you have to start him every week. He is still a top WR and it is just unimaginable that he wont have a few more big games this year. Team will focus on the run the second half of the season and should lead to some multiple TDs games for Randy Moss.

I have a real hard time thinking now is the time to sell on Moss - if anything, he is probably one of the biggest buy low candidates out there currently.

Injuries are extremely tough to predict.

I hope to hell you're right on this one CBM (been right on one or two that don't involve the Leos so far) because I just acquired Moss, Randy for Dunn, Warrick in my $$ league...

WRs go from
Holt (week10)
Gabriel
Hall or Muhammad

to
Holt (week10)
Moss
Hall or Muhammad

and my RBs are now
Parker
Jordan
LJ or Chester (this is a flex so I could conceivably start neither and slap another WR in there)

I think I improved but Moss' injury history has me worried a bit...
