Yup, even players that look like they are seven and should be on the cover of Huggies products don't escape the art of a Chris Berman nickname.
Believe it or not, he's actually a grown man who's played all 16 games in three of his five NFL seasons. In his best year as a pro ('05) with the Vikings, he ran 155 times for 662 yards (both career highs), but only one TD while starting eight games. He also managed to catch 37 passes for 339 yards and two TDs (and he returned one punt for a touchdown).
When FWP and Rashard "I-should've-stayed-in-college-and-lose-to-Middle Tennessee State-in-the-Fudge-Packer-Bowl" Mendenhall both went down with injuries mid-season, Moore was all that was left on the depth chart. He started four games and carried the ball 80 times for 360 yards (or an average of 90 YPG) and six total TDs, including a 94 total yard and one TD effort vs. the vaunted NY football Giants defense.
Last year, the Pittsburgh running attack went from 3rd to 29th (yet they still won the Super Bowl), largely due to the continued destruction of their offensive line.
As last season shows, if Parker and Mendenhall stay healthy, Moore is likely not much of a fantasy option. The running game will be better now that all starters on the offensive line are back, and the Steelers' Strength of Schedule is very favorable against the run. Moore only has value as a handcuff, and only in leagues that afford extra roster spots.
Moore has had a few bumps and bruises, but nothing that seems to have had a lasting effect on him.
