Pros: Entering his fourth year, Moore is the undisputed starter in Carolina. He posted a 4-1 record as a starter in the final five games of 2009; during this time, he threw eight touchdown passes to just one interception. While not known for his mobility, Moore still moves well in the pocket and was on pace for only 26 sacks last year. He won't have a lot of pressure on him in the Panthers' run-first system. 

Cons: That run-based offense will also work against him. Moore probably won't throw enough passes on a weekly basis to be more than the occasional spot start. He has a very limited history as a starter, and two of his biggest games came against injury-depleted secondaries (Minnesota Vikings, New York Giants).  

Fantasy tip: Moore should be drafted as a low-end No. 2 or a strong No. 3 fantasy passer. He has a fair amount of upside and could be a worthwhile start with the right matchup. If you have a rock-steady No. 1, consider Moore as a late-rounder while focusing on the core positions (RB-WR) when most owners are drafting their backup quarterbacks.
