And the award goes to...Randy Moss!
First of all, my research included healthy players, only. Randy Moss, now on his third team this season, has produced a meager 27 receptions, 375 yards, and 5 TD's in 13 games played. Moss was typically drafted in the late 1st or early 2nd round in most fantasy football drafts prior to the season. He was a top 15 pick with high expectations.
On the other hand, Moss' tendency to self-destruct, which we have seen many times over his 13-year Hall of Fame career, once again reared its ugly head. Prior to the 2010 season, it was reported that Moss was not happy as a Patriot and that he might not be a Patriot in 2011. This should have been your first sign that things were not going well for Moss in New England. In 2007, Randy Moss caught 23 TD's and helped his team make it to the Super Bowl, in which they endured a shocking loss to an underdog Giants' team. During his stay in New England, Moss caught 50 TD's in 52 games and further cemented his place in Canton when it is all said and done. However, if you drafted him in the 1st or 2nd round of your fantasy football draft, you are probably still cursing him for ruining your season.
Moss's fantasy production in 2010 is at the level of an undrafted free agent. James Jones of the Green Bay Packers and David Gettis of the Carolina Panthers have had more catches and yards than Moss. In fact, Eddie Royal (Broncos) would have been the better option than Moss. And, just when you thought it couldn't get any worse, Moss throws a big goose egg in the reception column in a Thursday night loss to the Colts. I know for a fact that people stopped playing Moss a few weeks ago, simply because their fantasy seasons were coming to a screeching halt. Drafting Moss with your first or second pick most likely caused you to lose many games and left you wondering when he might have his break-out game. Well, I am here to tell you that it won't happen this season. Moss is a definite no-play from here on out.
I examined a sample of fantasy teams that drafted Moss and none of them made the playoffs in their respective leagues. In fact, their overall winning percentage was a lowly .396. Even the very best fantasy player would have a very difficult time recovering from Moss' devastatingly poor season. It's no consolation but the following statement might help you to cope with your lack of success after drafting Moss in 2010. Just blame it on Randy.
