The Facts:
Following up on the
ongoing story. ... Add Peter King to the list of Moss believers after the SI.com reporter took in a recent Niners practice. "Randy Moss absolutely has something left," King told NFL Network's Rich Eisen on Tuesday. "If he stays healthy, five weeks from now I think you're going to see Randy Moss as a contributing player on a playoff offense."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As NFL.com's Dan Hanzus notes, Moss represents one of the most intriguing storylines of the upcoming NFL season. Logic dictates not much should be expected of the receiver. He's 35, hasn't played a game in 16 months, and showed serious signs of slippage with three teams during a hollow 2010 season. Yet we continue to hear reports that aren't merely positive, but glowing. "When I saw Randy Moss come off the line of scrimmage and fake Perrish Cox so severely that Cox slipped and Randy Moss ran across the middle and caught a beautiful crossing throw," King further explained. "And then ran a 9-route, you know, the long deep ball down the sideline, and beat Carlos Rodgers, who had an excellent year last year. ..." We're trying to temper our enthusiam by remembering Moss' recent past failures. There are still questions (will the Niners throw enough to keep him happy?), but to ignore the positive reporting of credible observers isn't wise. We'll continue to follow up as needed.
