The Facts:
The 49ers
signed the 35-year-old Moss to a one-year deal with a base salary of $1.75 million. Moss could reach incentives that would raise his total earnings to $4 million, but that is all on him, according to HC Jim Harbaugh. "We feel it's a good move for us, and we're excited to have Randy on our team," Harbaugh said. "Our dealings with him, our research, we feel that the merits outweigh the risks. I'm looking forward to coaching him."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
We'll see. When Moss last graced a football field, as a member of the Titans in 2010, he was forced to serve as a glorified decoy. In eight games, four as a starter, he caught six passes for 80 yards and zero touchdowns. That was a significant decline in production for Moss, who recorded 13 receptions and two touchdowns in four games with Minnesota earlier in the year. It was also quite a departure for a wideout who scored three touchdowns in four games with New England to begin that season. Harbaugh is obviously hoping the 49ers get the Moss of old, not an old Moss. Fantasy owners will definitely want to take a wait-and-see approach.
