Randy Moss vs. Jerricho Cotchery
Randy Moss probably isn't going to score 23 touchdowns again this season. His owners are now wondering if he's even going to score ten.
That question was front and center on my mind yesterday when I received an offer in one of my industry leagues: Moss for Jerricho Cotchery. It's a points-per-reception league, and that informed my decision to keep Cotchery. I'd be shocked if Cotchery doesn't catch 85 passes. I wouldn't be shocked if Moss caught only 65. Moss will rebound, and I'd still bet on a top-15 receiver finish. I would make the trade in a standard league, but I'm holding on to the sure thing in Cotchery. How much can change in three weeks!
Let me know if you would do the same thing.
* And to my emailer John: Yes, that means I'd trade Moss for Andre 1500.

Should I pull the trigger?

You are a smart man. But I like to think I am too. I traded Moss for Marshawn before the season started (dynasty league).
Buy low and Sell high baby.
Great Job Greg!

Cotch over Moss for sure...Brady being out for the season changes a lot of things and J. Cotch is a very solid reliable WR w/ great hands, and will score as well.
Gregg, Anyone- what the hell do I do with Braylon Edwards?? sit or start? will D. Anderson rebound or will the situation get worse...I don't have CLE's schedule in front of me, how is it?

PS- and B. Favre is the most reliable, durable QB in the history of the NFL (276 straight games I think incl. the playoffs, 258 w/o the playoffs & SB) and will be back there all season firing rockets to JC, LC, C. Stucki, who is a great sleeper, TJ, LW and the kid TE Keller who is great. Not to mention the best upgraded O-line in the NFL.
Would you rather have that or Matt Cassel?

I'm about to pull the trigger on a Barber/Moss for Addai/Wayne trade. Barber's been a total stud, but I think the WR upgrade is worth it.
