I'm considering Walker over Berrian. But I'm yet to make a decision. Curious who is starting Walker, despite his history of saying he's ready and not playing. And what caliber player you a starting him over.

I'm only keeping him on my roster for blocking purposes (so another team can't pick him up).
My starters are TO, Welker, Hackett. My bench is Galloway, Stallworth, Walker, Mason. In that order.

I am definitely conflicted here - I usually like to give a player a game to get re-acclimated and make sure they are 100% since many try to come back too early and then don't play a full game.
I would have to start him over these choices at Flex - Droughns or Nate Washington(starting for Holmes) or Engram

S. Smith (car). I just traded White and Henry to make room for him, so I sure hope he cames back close to 100%!

I might have to start him over Housh...
Thanks for posting your starters and bench + the order!

It was either Crayton or Walker for me this week, unless I felt like starting Ginn.

I'll be busy punching myself in the junk knowing that I could have had Walker for Jerrious Norwood or Fred Taylor a few weeks ago. Being 2nd in a 14 team PPR league he could have been handy as a WR2 or 3 for the playoffs.

Team in sig. About the only week I might start him would the SB (WK16) as I am happy with Edwards, Holt and Wayne. But I traded for him with the same reasoning I picked up LJ - the price was right, he might come back and blow up late, and if he doesn't, I got plenty of options.

Over Roddy White in a must win playoff contention game for me. I'm all ready regretting it, obviously. But it's not like he's limited in practice and saying that he'll play, he's in full practices and shanahan is saying that he'll play barring a set backs. I'm not so much worried that he won't play, I'm worried he'll be on a play count or need a game to back into game shape. I doubt he will be seeing any double teams with the immergence of Marshall, Cutler has been playing well and the Bears D has been burned a lot this year. So lets hope his comeback is more like Andre Johnson's and not Deon Branch's.

How much work has Walker been doing to stay in shape? I would assume not too much. It'll be tough for him to play the majority of snaps if he's out of gas.
Add to that Cutler has developed chemistry and trust in Marshall, could reinjure anytime during the game, and Shanny isn't always real forthcoming and this looks less and less like a good situation.

I think a lot of the opinions are derived from people that want to see him do good and people that don't. But we can't debate that if he's healthy enough to play he's a dangerous WR with always the potential of a big game. I don't see how people can assume that he's not in game shape and will get reinjuried, obviously that's always a possibility but if her starts it's because he's at full strength and ready to go. It appears he's recovered from the injury and has fresh legs. They didn't keep him out of the lineup for 8 weeks so he can come back and run out of gas or get injuried again.

I would be shocked if JW is on a snap count for this weekend

Per Roto World:
Javon Walker (questionable, knee) practiced on a limited basis Friday.
(Updated 11/23/2007) Impact
Walker practiced fully early this week, so the "limited" workout could be a concern. He'll be a game-day decision, and owners should be concerned about Walker seeing a limited number of snaps or even being used as a decoy. We're still ranking Walker as a WR3, but it's a boom-or-bust pick.
Well there's goes that. I'm glad I wasted Roddy White's 22 point week for a big let down. We don't know why he was limited or what anyone had to say about it, but that doesn't really look good.

More news per Denverbroncos.comWide receiver Javon Walker practiced Friday, but was limited for the first time this week. Even though there was some swelling in the surgically repaired right knee following the Thursday practice, he expects to play Sunday, although his status is questionable. “Unless there’s any setback there, he should be able to play,” Shanahan said.Wouldn't swelling qualify as a setback, or they expected it?? I don't like this one bit.
This question is very arguable and depends on your other options and the number of starting WRs you have.
I own him in 2 dynasty leagues where we start 2RB, 3WR, 1Flex. In one I am starting him because the next best players after him are DJax or Jacoby Jones. In the other I am not because I have CJ, Galloway, Evans, Reggie Williams, Burleson.

I felt pretty good taking him in the 3rd, but it sure has been a disappointing ride so far.
