Randy Moss signs one-year deal with the 49ers

Mar 13, 2012

Randy Moss is back in the NFL.

The veteran wideout showed the 49ers enough in a Monday workout that the team decided to sign him to a one-year deal.

San Francisco HC Jim Harbaugh, a longtime NFL quarterback, threw passes to Moss for 15 minutes, per CSNBayArea's Matt Maiocco. Evidently that was enough to convince team brass (gold?) that Moss was the man to open up a rather vanilla passing game that ranked 29th (183.1 ypg) in 2011.

Moss, who turned 35 last month and also recently worked out for the Saints, retired prior to the 2011 season after splitting a frustrating 2010 campaign between the Patriots, Vikings and Titans. Since he was not under contract in 2011, he did not have to wait until Tuesday at 4 p.m. ET to sign a new contract like most NFL free agents.

Fantasy Impact:

We aren't expecting too much from the 35-year-old Moss, though he is a physical freak and is capable of producing when motivated. The 49ers simply don't throw the ball enough to keep him happy.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara off injury report ahead of Week 15

The Saints officially listed QB Derek Carr (left hand/concussion) as doubtful for Sunday vs. Washington. Jake Haener will make his first NFL start.

RB Alvin Kamara (illness) is off the injury report and good to go.

Related Players: Kendre Miller

Fantasy Impact:

It would have been an easy click for a Kendre Miller week if Kamara were forced to miss, but this puts the kibosh on that. Fire Kamara up as an RB2 this week in a game that may feature him even more than usual with no Carr.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker Doubtful for Week 15

The Seahawks list RB Kenneth Walker III (calf) as doubtful for Sunday's game.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like a clear runway for another Charbonnet week in what should be a tightly contested game against the Packers at home. Fire him up as a fringe RB1/2.
