heard he is starting and debating on plugging him in.....they may try to get him in the groove early and feed him the ball to get the rust off

With Curtis back another target for McNabb, now he got three that will do good any game, problem is which one is tops on any given week (Jackson, Curtis ,Westy). This week play them all.

I was weary of starting him, but with Santonio Holmes out, I have no other options.
I hate starting guys who come back after long layoffs. But if I have no one else, then I just plug and hope

Benching Avery over Curtis..woohooo..good luck at that!Sorry forgot to say..Westy is back!I have to start him this week. With Marshall and Royal on a bye, Cotchery a GTD, and Engram and Avery as my other WR's I really need him to come through this week too

Personally, I would not start him over Bowe. Holt, probably not either but a case can be made. I have a hard time putting a WR in my lineup in his first live game action of the year (I have to use him at flex after the rash of bad news to my deep starters/bench this week). But if I had Holt, I would use Holt. Hard to judge the effectiveness of guy coming back from an injury (IE: Colston last week)

Unless he is planning on joining me at the Craps table at the Venetian this weekend, my answer is no.

I am. Over V. Jackson. I think he could post a big game. Maybe 7 receptions for 60 yards

I am starting him. Don't have many options because of injuries to Coles, Chambers, Brown.

would you play Curtis or Josh Morgan ?
Santonio's issue has put me in a bind.

I need to see how he does before putting him in the lineup. I'm going with Nate Washington instead. Giants have trouble defending the deep pass, and that's what Ben is going to be throwing washington all day in Holmes' absence.
I hope Curtis has a solid day as it will be a nice new toy for a potential playoff run (or as trade bait).

Currently have him in the lineup(PPR), but thinking about swapping in Leon Washington or Warrick Dunn.

Looks like you may have a couple of maskers on your team.

all leagues this weekend
The only one I'm having trouble in is a 12 team PPR...
Choose 2 of A Byrant @ Dal, A Gonzo @ Tenn, & Curtis.... I keep flipping Gonzo & Curtis.

I'm not expecting the world but it's a great matchup and all of the reports indicate Curtis has looked sharp in practice. It's a great matchup; the Eagles are at full strength and McNabb should have a big game. I'm starting Curtis. I'm expecting big things from him in the second half and I'll let him start it tomorrow.

I like the match-up quite a bit, and McNabb is the kind of QB who will look to reintegrate one of his top weapons into the offense.

Colston was taken out of the game. And he had a thumb injury which prevented him from making plays.Curtis had a hernia repair. I get the point you're trying to make, but I doubt Curtis is taken out of the game for ineffectivenessMighty Mice said:

Update from RotoWorld:
Eagles WR Kevin Curtis says he plans on "playing a lot" in Sunday's game against the Falcons.
The local papers don't expect Reggie Brown to play much if at all Sunday. Go ahead and start Curtis if he's your best WR3 option this week.

Great news! I'm a little worried about the chemistry Jackson and McNabb have seemed to form, but Curtis is an automatic difference maker. Even better start now that Brown may not play much/at all

Curtis was inconsistent last year. He had some big games but mostly he was up and down finishing barely as a top 20 WR. However, McNabb wasn't 100% most of the 2007 season and Curtis really didn't have a legit threat on the other side of him to keep coverages honest.
That is not the case this year so I have a hunch that Curtis will be a top 10-15 fantasy WR down the stretch. Expect better production than what has been predicted by most - I'd say at least 80-100 yards and a TD against the Falcons which haven't been stellar against the pass this season. Trust me, you want him in your lineup on Sunday.

Curtis only had 2 100 yd games last yr. That # surprised me. Basically most of his year end #s happened in that one game.

Yeah, it sure would stink to miss out on that game this year!

Yes but in a PPR league he makes up for lost yardage with receptionsAfter the bye week (week 5) he scored under 10 fantasy points only 3 times. I'd take 10 fantasy points from my last flex spot every week and be thrilled!
However, most of his year end #s coming from 2 games? You must be mistaken for Chad Johnson
Curtis' 2007 Stats: 77, 1110, 6
Week 6: 5 121 1
Week 13: 6 111 1
That leaves... 66 receptions, 878 yards, and 4 TDs unaccounted for...
In a PPR league that's an average of 12.7 points per game. Pretty solid if you ask me

Umm in week 3 he had 11 receptions, 221 yds, and 3 TDs. Thanks for proving my point.

Against Tampa with Brad Johnson at QB? Uh, yeah.Even over TO?Curtis was inconsistent last year. He had some big games but mostly he was up and down finishing barely as a top 20 WR.

It appears these Saturday afternoon shifts are killing my eyes... Sorry for my mistake.I was unaware what game you were referencing.
However, I stand by my post saying that in only 3/12 weeks did he score below 10 fantasy points. Even if he doesn't have a huge game, he's going to get you at least 4-5 catches with the possibility of 60+ yards.
Taking out that one big game that you are referencing, and that's STILL leaving 66 receptions, 889 yards, 3 TDs... so we're back where we started, 11.5 fantasy points per game.
Okay, take out all 3 of his 100+ yard games...
55 receptions, 657 yards, 1 TD...
9.7 fantasy points per game, almost 10 fantasy points per game every game the rest of the season... Again, pretty damn good for a flex player if you ask me
Now this guy isn't going to carry your team, no one is saying that. I don't think he'll be a top 10 WR... top 15 maybe as his highest potential, but as a WR2 you could do worse, and as a WR3 he's possibly one of the best out there. 10 fantasy points per week from your last flex spot. Hell I'll take that and laugh all the way to the championship game

3 games after the by week under 10 fantasy points in a PPR (bolded)Like I said, take out the 3 biggest games he had (italicized) and he's STILL averaging 9.7 fantasy points per game. Go ahead, do the math, it'll come out right
9.7 from my last flex position is plenty for me
