The Associated Press reports New England Patriots WR Randy Moss caught five passes for 67 yards and two touchdowns in the team's Week 15 game.

The Huddle Take: Moss appears to be settling in nicely with quarterback Matt Cassell as both appear to be developing a nice working relationship on the field. With Moss clearly becoming more of a factor in New England it appears likely that he could continue to post some nice numbers in Week 16 as long as the weather in New England doesn't get too rough.

The Associated Press reports New England Patriots WR Randy Moss had eight carries for 125 yards with three touchdowns during the team?s Week 12 game.

The Huddle Take: Moss owners have to be impressed with the resurgence of the offense under Matt Cassell the last few weeks. If things continue like they are then expect Moss to continue to post huge numbers as the Patriots have a favorable schedule for the remainder of the regular season.

The Boston Globe reports New England Patriots WR Randy Moss recorded his 800th career reception Week 8. He became the 19th player in NFL history to break the 800-reception mark. He is the fifth-fastest player to reach the milestone in league history.

The Huddle Take: Milestones are nice and all, but fantasy owners would prefer to see current production from Moss. And now that Matt Cassel has started to figure out how to get the ball to Moss, he's reclaiming some of his fantasy value.

ESPN.com reports New England Patriots WR Randy Moss caught just three passes for 26 yards in Week 6.

The Huddle Take: The Patriots made Moss a captain in hopes of keeping him interested, but three-for-26 isn't likely to cut it. Moss was targeted down the field just once each quarter, though none of the four were completed.

The Associated Press reports New England Patriots WR Randy Moss caught five passes for 111 yards and one touchdown in the team's Week 5 game.

The Huddle Take: The 66-yard bomb to Moss was something his fantasy owners have been begging for since Matt Cassel took over for the injured Tom Brady. It was one of two deep balls directed at Moss, and hopefully a sign of things to come in the New England offensive game plan.

The Associated Press reports New England Patriots WR Randy Moss was held to four catches for 25 receiving yards during the team's Week 3 game.

The Huddle Take: The production of the highly-touted Moss has continued to decrease with the absense of quarterback Tom Brady from the New England offensive unit. This was without a doubt one of his lowest outputs as a member of the Patriots and could signal a sign of future struggles. Moss remains a No. 1 receiver for fantasy teams but his numbers will likely not be any where close to the consistency of last year.

Updating a previous report, The Providence Journal reports New England Patriots WR Randy Moss (back) was limited during practice Thursday, Sept. 11.

The Huddle Take: There's probably no cause for concern just yet, but we'll keep a close eye on Moss. For now, there's no need to alter your Week 2 starting lineup.

The Associated Press reports New England Patriots WR Randy Moss caught six passes for 116 yards and one touchdown Week 1. It was his 126th career touchdown, which ties him with former NFL RB Jim Brown for eighth overall in NFL history. It was also his 125th receiving career touchdown, which ties him for fourth in NFL history in that category.

The Huddle Take: The good news here is that Moss got much of his stats this week without Brady at QB. The fate of Brady will surely impact Moss, but if he has a QB that can at least get him the ball, he'll still finish among the top 5 receivers. The downside is that without Brady he won't finish at number one moving away...and that is what owners expected this season.
