Best Case
While more is primarily a punt returner, he did some solid work in spot duty for the Saints as a receiver and actually had more throws come his way than Devery Henderson did during 2007. If Moore continues to catch two-thirds of the passes that come his way, he could develop into a quality WR3 for the Saints. In an explosive offense like New Orleans', the Saints' No. 3 wide receiver could be worth starting at times during the 2008 season.
Worst Case
Moore could remain a special teamer who occasionally has a pass come his way, making him virtually worthless to fantasy owners during 2008.
Outlook
Moore could be modestly productive during 2008, but he will most likely be behind several people in the passing game. At best, he will be a waiver wire guy.

2007 Game Summaries
Week 3 - Moore was very active in this game and was thrown to more than any other Saints receiver. His final stats weren't stellar, but he made an impression at least.
Week 5 - Moore was used as the main target when the Saints needed a first down in the passing game. All three of his receptions resulted in Saint first downs. He was the intended receiver on the first Brees interception on a badly thrown deep pass in the first quarter.
Week 6 - Moore got the first start of his career with the demotion of Devery Henderson to second string. He caught most of his targets, and scored on a seven yard end around in the second quarter.
Week 7 - Despite starting, Moore was not targeted often in this game. One of his targets was an intercepted pass called back due to a penalty.
Week 8 - Moore's only catch was for a first down. He was also the primary punt returner.
Week 9 - Moore was targeted twice in the end zone, catching one of those targets for a touchdown and having the other one deflected in the end zone. He showed a knack for getting open on short and intermediate routes.
Week 11 - Moore dropped the only ball thrown to him, and his only other involvement came on an end around play that did not gain any yards.
Week 12 - Lance Moore was targeted five times in the game. He caught three passes for 16 yards and a touchdown. His touchdown came on a one yard pass on fourth and goal at the one yard line. He got another red zone opportunity in the third quarter. Brees hit him for a pass of 10 yards that took the ball down to the Carolina eight yard line. Brees ran it in on the next play.
Week 14 - Moore was only targeted four times and caught two short passes for 14 yards. He also fumbled a punt that led to a Falcons touchdown in the second half.
Week 16 - Lance Moore saw increased playing time with the injury to Marques Colston. He was able to make the most of his increased time by making tough catches along the sidelines. He was overthrown on one deep ball and was unable to come up with an under thrown pass inside the five yard line.
