Didn't take too long for Randy Moss to sit out of camp with an injury. It doesn't have me worried in the least. For all we know, Coach Belichick could have him icing his hamstring just to throw off the media when he's really got a broken wrist. You never know with the Pats. Despite the injury, and the time off in camp, I expect big things from Randy.
I see the situation like this: Tom Brady is going to be one the greatest quarterbacks ever when it's all said and done. In fact, with three Super Bowls and two Super Bowl MVP's, he is already. The best receiver this living legend has ever thrown to is Deion fucking Branch, who has never caught 100 balls, or for 1,000 yards in a single season. Yes, I know the Patriots' 'system' is to spread the ball, and remain unpredictable, but when the talent is there, they use it (see Corey Dillon's 1,600 yards and 14 TD's in his first season.) Brady's never had a target. Again, his best target, his most favorite target, Branch, is 5'9", 193lbs. Enter Randy Moss. 6'4", 210lbs. tall, long, fast, a red-zone threat. This is a great match for fantasy owners. Randy will reign in his antics, and his attitude (much like Dillon did) for a chance at a ring. He's 30 now, and doesn't have many years left in the tank, so I think he brings it all together and easily goes for 1,000 yards and 10 TD's.

Receivers can remain dominant well into their 30s so I agree Randy will improve on his numbers from last year. The only part I disagree with is the degree to which he will improve. He is a big step up from Deion Branch for sure but the Pats also added another legit deep threat in Donte Stallworth and a solid slot possesion guy in Wes Welker. Don't get me wrong, neither of these guys has Randy's resume. Its just that this is a numbers game and going from no legit targets in 06 to 3 legit targets seems to me to mean maybe the other guys will get in on the fun as well. I say Randy is a solid WR2.
