Last week Randy Moss brought the heat in New Orleans, reportedly dazzling Saints officials with 4.40-forty speed . The possible marriage of Moss, despite his advanced age and often questionable prima dona attitude, with Drew Brees was certainly tantalizing. This week, however, he threw the fantasy community a curveball. On Monday night, the 35-year-old receiver agreed to terms on a 1-year deal to play with San Francisco. Yes, please, contain your enthusiasm. This isn't the sexiest landing sport for the multi-time Pro Bowler. Jim Harbaugh's offense is predicated on ball control and Alex Smith doesn't exactly pump the juices. To be fair, the former No. 1 pick made strides last year fantasy-wise. Including the playoffs he notched seven 20-plus point fantasy performances. His accuracy and decision making were improved. However, he doesn't throw the prettiest deep-ball and given the Niners' propensity to pound, it's likely Moss will only be a WR3 at best in deeper leagues. And that's assuming he stays motivated. If San Fran hit the skids, though unlikely, after a memorable season, a sulky-faced Randy, like the one pictured above, could again make a cameo. At this point, easily seduced fantasy owners will likely extend their arms for the brand name. But until the Niners' passing game opens up – they called "pass" just 45.4-percent of the time last season – Moss' ceiling might be comparable to what DeSean Jackson achieved last year (58-961-4). And that's probably a slight exaggeration. Consider him only after Round 10 come August. What are your thoughts on the Moss signing? Would you consider him only as a late-round flier? Does this elevate Alex Smith into QB2 territory? Discuss.
