49ers WR Randy Moss could be limited to 20-25 plays a game. We break down fantasy implications.
In his report from training camp, SI.com's Jim Trotter suggests that the 49ers could limit WR Randy Moss to 20-25 snaps per game in an effort to keep his legs fresh.
Analysis: Moss didn't play last season, so his legs should have been fresh heading into the preseason with the 49ers. It would be better to hear it directly from the coaches, but the total play count makes sense considering the team's run-first offense and the fact that he's a 35-year-old giving football another shot. San Francisco has improved its receiving corps this season and Moss will likely get chances to make plays. The 49ers play Houston on Saturday and it will be interesting to see how Moss is used. For now, Michael Crabtree and Vernon Davis are the 49ers pass catchers fantasy owners should target first on draft day, with Moss serving as nothing more than a late-round flyer.
