WR Randy Moss Claimed By Titans

Former Vikings WR Randy Moss was claimed by the Titans today.  It's a fairly good fit for Moss because he's got a no-nonsense coach that doesn't tolerate crap from his players, a team that has a chance to make a Super Bowl run, and two quarterbacks that proved with Kenny Britt that they aren't afraid to throw the ball down the field when the situation presents itself.  The only bad news is that this is a run-first team, but Moss has no competition for targets with Britt injured.

Fantasy Impact: Because of the run-first nature of the Titans offense, it's not an ideal landing spot for Moss, but he'll probably receive plenty of targets given the lack of receiver talent with Kenny Britt hurt.  It's hard to say if this is an indication of Britt's injury severity, but we probably won't find out until the Titans return to practice in week 10.  That also being said, it's good news for Moss as he'll have a week and a half to pick up the Titans' offense, so he should have a chance at a more profound impact in his first week.  It's fairly positive news for Moss' fantasy outlook, but he's probably more of a WR2 for the rest of the season than the WR1 he was drafted to be.
