Brian Westbrook is a STUD when he plays....when he plays being the key words. I had him last year and he was a major headache. Honestly the guy was a gametime decision in probably 10 games, and then he missed 3 games, then came back and I was afraid to play him and he went nuts. So, his ADP is around 2.03. You would have to take him over stud WRs like Moss, Andre Johnson, Calvin Johnson or over guys like Gore, Jacobs, or possibly Deangelo Williams....depending on how your draft unfolds of course.
I love this guy's talent, but I'm not sure I can pass on a stud WR like any of the TOP 4 for a guy who is this injury prone to begin with, and is coming off a microfracture surgery in June (I believe). He won't play in preseason so you won't have any idea how healthy he is. If you listen to the coachspeak, the news is positive, but how much of that can you put your late 1st or early 2nd rd hopes on?
Know all of this, is he worth the risk? If you're drafting from the 6-9 spots, do you take him in the early 2nd or would you rather go with a stud WR...given the amount of RB talent available late.
