His production started to tail off although he's never had more than 47 catches (his first year). As much as he's been talked about, I expected to see higher output. And this was supposed to be his year having been moved to the number 2 spot with Burress going to the NYG. He does have good return numbers, but that would be better suited for a #3 or #4 receiver. If he is not too expensive and Patten comes back strong, he might be worth it, but not as a number 2.

What are you looking for out of a WR2 or WR3? I am not looking for a guy to catch 70 balls. Give me who gets the job done. Notice 23 or his 35 catches were for 1st downs. That is pretty good. Pittsburg is much like us. They pound the ball. There WR2 isn't going to get a bunch of balls unless he is a WR1 at the WR2 spot like Burress was. I think a core of Moss/Patten/Randle EL is significantly better than what we has this year. It even allows us an injury and we still have two legitimate athletes at the spot.
