Fantasy Outlook:

Why you should draft Santana Moss:  When Moss is able to play a full season, he is very productive.  In 2005 and 2008 he did so and averaged 81 receptions, 1263 receiving yards, and seven scores. Last season, Moss had three games where he had at least 140 receiving yards. 

Why you may want to stay away from drafting Santana Moss: Moss played in every game in 2008.  However, in his eight year career, Moss has yet to put together back-to-back seasons where he played in all 16 games.  Last season, Moss was limited to under 40 receiving yards in six games.

Bottom Line: When Moss is healthy and playing well, he is among the elite fantasy wideouts.  However, since he is so inconsistent, he should be viewed as a lower tier, No.1 fantasy receiver.
