Randy Moss's Trade: Winner's and Loser's

Here is a summary (my feelings) about the trade and it's fantasy impact.  For entertainment purposes I have also attached some videos that might make this Thursday a little bit netter...Enjoy.
Winners
1.       Aaron Hernandez-  Only a rookie and this guy is already on pace for 1,000 yards receiving and over 70 catches.  I expect Hernandez’s targets to rise like inflation over the next 4 months.  Literally, keep track to see what changes the most.  He is considered a tight end, but is more of a flanker.  Think Marques Colston, but faster.
      Creed Bratton

2.       Brett Favre-  There goes my prediction of Favre having a terrible year.  He has an immediate deep threat and another red zone option along with Shiancoe.  Expect Favre to target Randy a minimum 10 times per game for the rest of the season.  Favre went from a borderline #2 QB to a #1 QB.

3.       Brandon Tate-  Tate was expected to be part of the future for the Patriots when they drafted him in 2009, but I doubt any dynasty owners expected this type of rise.  Monitor him over the next 2 weeks and if he gets the target regularly, then feel free to start his as a #3 WR.

4.       Percy Harvin- He’ll be used the way Wes Welker was used in New England now that defenses need to respect the deep ball.  Harvin will get 8 targets a game minimum and upwards to 13 or 14 depending on the match ups on the field.

5.       Randy Moss-  Remember Randy when he was on the Raiders? Neither do I, but word is that he dogged it.  But I bet you remember when he was on the Patriots that first year when the Pats were breaking all kinds of records.  Expect almost that type of improvement.  Randy is going to be feed the ball early and often.
Losers
1.        Sidney Rice-  Sidney Rice just became Mr. Irrelevant.  I doubt he plays one snap this season.  If you want to drop him after week 8 I don’t think anyone will blame you. He is a wasted pick now.
      Now the remix...

2.        Wes Welker seldom is doubled.   Now he will always be doubled.  He’ll get chucked at the line and covered by the best corner on the field which used to go to Randy.  Wes owners should expect a decline in production.
      If your proud to be a Flyers fan...here you go..I thoroughly encourge you to watch the rest of them.
      One More...

3.       Tom Brady-  I expect that he will see a slight decline in his numbers, but still expect him to deliver 2 TDs a game. I just don’t think there will be as many yards or big plays.  Something that gets rewarded in most leagues. He still has Gisele, so I doubt he is bother by it too much..

4.       Visanthe Shiancoe-   With the increased targets to Randy, someone needs to suffer and that will probably be Shiancoe.  Red Zone targets are plentiful and what Shiancoe got before this trade will diminish slightly.  I still view Shiancoe as a decent TE.

5.       Adrian Peterson-  Peterson’s TD production will certainly decrease now that there is another, maybe even easier, option in the Red Zone. Favre loves the fade pattern and he might used play action more than he did last year and it will come at Adrian’s expense.
