budlitebrad Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Tate will probably step into his role, but for FF purposes you should just take Moss' touches and spread them evenly among the other players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavinRJohnson Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 I don't think anyone but the Hoodie can answer this question. I'd be careful about who I drop to pick up Tate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theeohiostate Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Hernedez is the guy that gets a HUGE bump in value in this deal. He is already emerging as a go to guy for Brady, this makes his value skyrocket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt770 Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 I think Tate will be more likely to have fantasy relevant games here and there against good matchups, but will not be consistent. I agree that Hernandez sees a nice bump. I think Welker stays about the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that Hernandez sees a nice bump. I think Welker stays about the same. Welker may get shadowed by the other teams top CB , so I think he takes a big hit. Unless N.E. gets a legitimate vertical threat defenses put more men close to the line of scrimmage, which really hurts the area of the field Welker has made a living in. This move to me signals the Pats confidence in their defense and running game. I did just grab VJax in case something crazy were to happen, and NE went after him. I doubt it, but worth a roster spot until Oct. 19 now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearBroncos Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 This... Maybe Hernandez becomes the big red zone target w/ Randy no longer there for that role? But Gronkowski has been getting the TD's in the redzone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giantsfan Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 To me this screams of ego on Belichick's part. Like he is so good they can win without Moss. VERY difficult to argue they are better without Moss. I think they are clearly much worse. How many guys would trade a stud WR like Moss mid season? I can't think of many, which is why to me this screams ego driven maniac on Bill's part. As for value, I guess Tate gets some now. He goes from no role to I guess starting. Welker maybe drops a little, but remember the types of passes he catches anyway, short little dink and dunk stuff. Not sure how much no Moss affects that. And since week 1 has Welker really done that much anyway? But to me overall I think this hurts almost everyone on the O. Brady doesn't take a huge hit losing Moss? Everyone seems to love Hernandez now, and yes I think he gets a few more targets and a few more catches, BUT not having Moss getting double and triple covered will hurt ALL the NE players on O IMO. I think you are all WAY underselling Moss' value in that regard. DRAWING multiple guys in coverage. You all act like oh Hernandez will get more throws now so he'll gain a lot here? Really? If I was D coordinator going against NE I argue he is my # 1 target to stop and I put a LB and S on him. Think about it. Welker hasn't been great this year and is coming off major surgery. Plus he runs his routes, short and over the middle. The most explosive player on that O now just may be Hernandez. And even if they give Welker more attention I PROMISE you Hernandez will also get more attention from D's and coaches on the other teams now as well. He is a rookie TE. Can he handle it? So to me if I owned ANY Pats player on O, I would not like this deal. There goes the one guy who time and time again draws 2 and 3 men to him, and I really think MANY of you are missing that point.

BearBroncos Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 I suspect NWE isn't done yet with their trading. They don't really have enough depth at WR right now unless they plan on upping Edelmans role?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theeohiostate Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 I suspect NWE isn't done yet with their trading. They don't really have enough depth at WR right now unless they plan on upping Edelmans role?? NE could make the 2 biggest deals of the season, trading Moss and landing VJax. I think NE would be tickled to get that swap. Moss is nearing the end of a magnificent career and VJax is a top 6-8 WR in the game AND 6 years younger. NE has 2 picks in the 3rd. The value of DJax to NE may be well worth that deal. What do you NE Homers think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rattsass Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 (edited) Very interesting post. If VJAX goes with Brady his value will sky rocket. I wouldn't hold my breath for that VJax trade if I were you. I would however, look for Hoodie to try his best to make Brandon Tate look like a star in their next game, just to rub Randy's nose in it, and to send the message that Hoodie is still the genius.

What do you NE Homers think? I totally agree with this post. The one team in the NFL in position to give what it takes to get V-Jax is NE. They have 2 picks in each of the top 4 rds in next years draft. They got off to a hot start at 3-1, they are on a bye this week and V-Jax can play starting week 7 or 8(not sure which) so they would only be a game or 2 without a true #1 WR before he could be activated. The whole scenario makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caveman_Nick Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 They don't need VJax. I agree. 3 SB wins with the most special WR being Troy Brown ( a great Patriots player, but not an NFL Great in the conventional sense). I still wouldn't mind seeing VJax here, though.

theeohiostate Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 They don't need VJax. I disagree completely. Their offense for the last several years has been devised around a vertical threat. In addition, how long has it been since they have had to rely on a consistent running game.....Ellis, Tayor , Woodhead doesn't scare defenses. Tate will not be a matchup problem for any NFL defense. I'd expect many 1 on 1's with him, leaving 2 more defenders to blanket the middle of the field. Disrupting Welker, Hernandez and the running game. NE is the ONE team that really needs VJax , now that Minnesota seems to have taken care of the issue. DJax situation is much like Moss when he came to NE . While the deal may be unlikely, I bet they are considering it for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you seriously think the Pats braintrust made this trade HOPING they could snag Vjax from a team they may face in the playoffs? A team with an owner that is nearly impossible to negotiate with? Seems pretty far-fetched. Not saying it couldn't happen, but just seems unlikely to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReturnToSender Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 I hate to even say this, but with the "Law Firm" and Woodhead running and catching passes out of their backfield, I think they have the best running game they have had in many a year. Is it the best in the league? Heck no, but I think the running game, and passes out of the backfield increase, and the TE, Woodhead, and Welker will continue their underneath game, while the long ball suffers, but Tate does have increased value.

theeohiostate Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 (edited) We have to throw out a name here that could really have the biggest boost with the Moss deal Taylor Price should be activated to the roster. He was an eye opener for the coaching staff in training camp. Price started 38 of 52 games for Ohio and set a school record with 149 receptions. He was the 2010 3rd round selection for NE If you have a deep roster keeper league or dynasty league, I would certainly not waste time grabbing him now.

ReturnToSender Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 So if they don't activate him, do we surmise that the Pats are making a play for another WR, maybe even V-Jax? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
