how much longer is he out?
I'd take Campbell over Miller. but ditto.
Mark Campbell? Your league awards points for blocking? Interesting.
Moore should be a nice get for a few weeks at least. I can see Miller getting most of Shockey's looks in clear passing situations too.

Yeah, I'm wondering too. If Galloway gets healthy, does he displace Bryant from the lineup? Wasn't there some growing sense that Galloway is not that motivated?I think Lloyd should maintain starter's status regardless with the lack of other receiving threats. I don't really see Hester as a true option there. He seems to still have a large learning curve ahead of him.I still can't decide though.
I think Engram should be back after their week 4 bye.
Looks like Westbrooks injury is not serious. I think Rudi Johnson might be the better pick up of the two.
Curtis is certainly a good WW pickup, but McNabb is spreading the passes around like Brees and the Saints. DeSean seems like the receiver to own in that offense. I'm going with Engram because the Seahawks are extremely thin at receiver, Hasselbeck loves to throw it to him, and he'll have more games to contribute than Curtis because he's due back sooner and his bye is earlier.
Also I don't think Curtis will be back until week 6. I think you could wait a little while longer to pick him up.
A similar thing was said about Patten going into this week. You still have Henderson, Meachem, Bush, Thomas and some scrubs to contend with.
Robert Meachem. With Shockey OUT and Patten nursing a groin strain (not something that usually goes away quickly--I would guess he is out three weeks), there is a good chance Moore or Meachem could produce big time. Moore got more action and looks this past week but I have to believe the Saints will realize that Meachem gives them the best chance to make a big impact. I would guess that he gets featured and that this will be his coming out party.
Curtis won't be ready for a few weeks yet; he is practicing with practice squad but that is a long way from being game ready. Reggie Brown is supposedly ready to go this week and I wouldn't be surprised to see him get alot of action. He is pretty much off everyone's radar screen.
I think D.Anderson will have a huge game vs the Bungles next sunday and keep Quinn on the bench for another couple of weeks...between the cincy game and the bye week right after i can see Quinn starting after the Giants game week 7(if D.A stinks it up vs Giants).C.Buck is only useful to Westy owners.Bryant May be serviceable even when Galloway returns
Henderson used to be that guy, but was always too inconsistent. Seemed like if he wasn't catching a 50-yard TD, he was mostly silent.In a PPR, Moore would be a nice pickup.

Sure, if you assume that he'll keep catching TDs every week. Favre likes him, but he also likes Coles and Cotchery. I think you can do better than the #3 WR on the #9 passing offense in the NFL.
I'd rather have Slaton than Maroney. Maroney has never been the stud everyone hoped that he would become. (Whether that's his fault or Belichick's fault is beside the point).
What a silly move. I have Aaron Rodgers in my starting lineup for now but I'm holding on tight to Palmer until he goes **** Lane on me
Both Branch and Curtis are on the ww in my league (10 teamer). Wringing my hands over which of these to pick up. I'd have to drop Berrian. I've heard reports that Curtis is practicing and has a chance to play week 5 (although week 6 seems more likely). Branch is due back week 5, but I'm a little nervous about his reconstructed knee. Which of the two does the board think will be more productive, regardless of who comes back sooner?
and Steve Smith
I don't like either one of those guys. Branch is still gimpy, can never seem to stay healthy, and was never a consistent FF performer in the first place. Curtis might return to health, but the Eagles have proven that they don't need him. Curtis might find himself 3rd on the depth chart when he returns.RamMan said:
I was thinking the same thing; however, I just read today that Herm was splitting reps 50/50 between Huard & Thigpen. I don't like the sound of that ... would hate to take that kind of risk only to have them go down 21-0 in the second and Herm puts in Thiggy.
I don't have much of a choice. it's either him or Collins. bye week blues.After reassessing the situation, I like Huard's matchup over Collins'.
Tough call. Just seems like the KC QB situation is a little shaky just like Herm's coaching abilities.
Glad to see I'm not the only one. I'm desperate for a RB #3 in a 14 team PPR league and think he could be a longshot chance. I have a feeling the Steelers may need to pass the ball in order to beat the Ravens. Mewelde should see most of the passing down snaps and with the abuse Ben took last week this could lead to some check downs. Also with Mende being a rookie, Mewelde should also see some carries.
How can you judge that until later in the season? Slaton could very well carry the Texans. Griese might be the second coming of Warner '07. You can't know till you know - that's why these guys are ON the WW before week 4 games.FWIW, I have seen Stuckey, Galloway, Curtis and Porter on various WWs - if they are available, those are good WRs to pick up and stash. Josh Reed might be a decent pickup (edit - sorry brain fart when I put in McDonald, originally)McLain and Slaton (if available) are the likely impact RBs. I have seen Freddie Jackson, Derrick Ward, Ahmad Bradshaw, and Brandon Jackson also moving on WWs. Freddie Jackson might be a decent pickup anyway in PPR leagues . . . .At QB, I think there is a ton of potnetially decent talent - Kerry Collins, Brian Griese, I even saw Matt Schaub n the WW. And I just dropped Cassell in a league where I owned 4 QBs (don't ask . . .). You could stash guys like Vince Young, Sage, or Jamarcus Russell in deep leagues, too. And let's not forget 2 QB leagues. In those leagues, Damon Huard might be the hot pickup.I am in a return yardage league and I am seriously eyeballing Dante Hall. He has a history with Trent Green and the Rams are clearly going to be returning a lot of kickoffs this year. Ea.kickoff is basically one point in a league that rewards 1/20 return yardage.
I can respect the school of thought that Curtis is a few weeks away from returning so he is not worth grabbing this week (though I think if you wait until too much more positive news occurs, you may lose your chance at him).I do NOT respect the idea that they will relegate him to third on the depth chart. That is not Andy Reid's style. Behind who? Reggie Brown and a rookie?Edit to add - to answer the question above this one, I think both make for decent long-term prospects if you can afford to wait on them. But, I agree with Tommy that Branch has always been inconsistent. Moreover, he has been habitually slow to return from his multiple injuries, he has never seemed to develop much rapport with Hasselbeck, Engram will be the primary target there, and Branch is always a play away from re-injury.Curtis seems the better risk - sport hernias, when recovered from, are recovered from. He should not be slowed by anything except being out of football shape and the risk of re-injury is less with that type of injury.
I have some worries about the sports hernia - didn't it slow down LJ Smith for all of last year? How did Donovan do after his? What is wrong with the water in Philly that everyone suffers the same injury?Do you have any other examples of players doing well after coming back from a sports hernia?That said I am still targeting Curtis next week, but I was hoping for some more info.
Don't forget K. Warner. He was available in smaller roster leagues.How can you judge that until later in the season? Slaton could very well carry the Texans.
