The other Moss
One of the quieter success stories of the season thus far is Santana Moss, an example of the quickly improving Washington offense. Moss caught seven passes for 75 yards and his third touchdown of the year against Arizona. He can't keep up his 16-touchdown pace, but his 19 receptions in three games is encouraging. This is a player that we'd usually downgrade in PPR leagues, but that should no longer be the case because he's catching higher percentage passes in Jim Zorn's West Coast offense. His catch percentage last year was 53%. This year, it's 68%.
Is Moss can just throw in an occasional big play like his 67-yard bomb in Week 2, his yards-per-reception will remain high despite the different role. He's not a guy I'd be eager to sell high on, unless you can get top-10 value. (He's currently second among wideouts in fantasy points.) Moss owners probably took him as a WR3, and they can expect WR2 value moving forward. That's how you win titles.

You know how you don't win titles? Drafting the other Moss at 10 and following it up with Brady at 11.
P.S. Drafted Colston at the end of the third...

Should've seen it coming with Santana.
Always had enormus talent as evidenced in that monster season a couple years ago. Finally healthy in a system where he'll get to touch the ball alot is good news for him. Very undervalued going into this year.

Bah you win titles by drafting:
Brandon Marshall
Larry Fitzgerald
Santana Moss
As your 3 Wide Receivers
and Frank Gore as your RB.

Do you trade S. Moss for Peyton? My other QBs are Kitna and Carson Palmer.
