Curry re-tears Achilles' tendon

"It took Curry more than eight months to return from the same injury last season."
 
Edit:  Check out Raider WR Alvis Whitted.  He looks good, and he's just been waiting for his chance.

Gabriel will be back soon, Whitted is in the wings, Morant is only a rook - but a good one.
 
These are only the other guys.  Keep the faith, Raider Nation.

Moss unlikely to play against the Bills on Sunday:
 
http://www.carthagepress.com/articles/2005/10/19/apindex/sports/d8dbbrdg 5.txt
 
Keep watching.  And play Porter if this happens and you can.  Also, Doug Gabriel and Courtney Anderson could benefit.
 
Just don't sell the farm on this one.  It is not certain how long this will last (it is the AFC West, they juke big time).  More news when I see it.

Tonight (Saturday night) Randy Moss is being called a game time decision!  I cannot find a decent link, which probably means that this is either coach speak or one of those things where he will be dressed and in for about one play.  (This has happend with R. Moss in the past).  Still and all, the med results showed that he only had bruises to his ribs and groin.  If you own Moss or Porter or Collins or Gabriel or Anderson, I would watch what happens.
 
Just meant as a heads up.

I agree with Steg.  Like I said elsewhere, he finds ways to make things happen when he gets the chance.
 
Porter drops the ball and should probably sit on benches just for now (but should not be dropped!).  Also, the Raiders took very big hits to the secondary Sunday (Woodson and Gibson out with injuries).  That may mean the need will be there to keep up with the scoring of opponents, and that probably means more touches for Gabriel (especially while Moss is not 100%).  ALSO, the O line seems to be GELLIIN'.  Collins spends too long in the pocket, but now he may have more time to do that.
 
Keep in mind that Whitted and Anderson will be in the mix.  Anderson may have seemed less active this week, but he was very busy with blocking duties.  The Bills have a good pass D and a bad run D.  Anderson was one reason that Jordan had such a good day.

DB, this is total speculation.  But as Raider Nation, I watch my team a lot.
 
I've noticed that the Raiders have been doing what everyone else in the league who can are doing...surprises.  Maybe Turner has been taking Shanny lessons, I don't know.  But the Raiders have a whole lot of tools to play with, and their ability to mess with the game planning of their opponents makes sense for winning games.  It's just very difficult for FF players!
 
The thing about Moss is that he got hit on the head early and had problems.  What is that, three injuries?  Gabriel, so far, will be a guy who gets spotty weeks and big play options this year.  As for Moss, all along he has been doing big plays and then drawing coverage for the rest of the game.  Porter is always called a talented slacker.  It could be strategy, or it could be his realization that he needs to show up to keep getting the bucks.  The bottom line is that I didn't get the chance to see the coverage (no TV coverage), so if that was the issue I have no idea.  I do know that a lot of it looks like juking the opposition at this point.  Go Norv!

Raiders place Warren Sapp on injured reserve due to a torn rotator cuff:

If you own Kerry Collins, you better read this!
 
"Quarterback switch? Turner leans toward Tuiasosopo as starter"
 
"ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) -- Marques Tuiasosopo probably will get his shot as Oakland's starting quarterback this week."
 
http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ap-raiders-tuischance&prov=ap& amp;type=lgns
 
Turner said:  "I wouldn't have brought it up if it wasn't something we're considering strongly...."
 
This is not carved in stone and may have been said to light a fire under Collins, but with the receivers and RB the Raiders have, it bears watching.  Also remember, it could only be for part of the rest of the way.  But Tui may be worth a pick-up on spec if you have the bench room.

I don't have a link yet, but NFL Network just announced that Marques Tuiasosopo is the starter in Week 14!
 
This comes from interviews with the QBs Collins and Tui.
 
Edit:  Here's the link, from the official Raider site:

I can only assume this is great news for Lamont Jordan owners.   Tui should be able to hit him for several check downs, and LJ2 will get a lot of run action anyway vs. the Jets.

Collins back at starter over Tui!
 
http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2005/12/14/MNGKHG82P62.DTL
 
Tui didn't have much of a chance to show anything.  The O line collapsed on him all day long.  Tui is more moble, but he couldn't do anything with it while surviving that line.  In terms of fantasy football, now we're back to the bomb arm for possible deep strikes.  And Collins consistently puts up the yards.

Following up with a little more of a detailed report from a LOCAL source on "the Gridiron Newsstand" regarding Jordan's turf-toe injury that has him doubtful for this week's game against Denver...
 
"Now Jordan may be out in Denver"
 
Always remember that your FF research can be done efficiently, accurately, in depth and from a fantasy-neutral perspective, so that you can make up your own mind and develop your own fantasy insight(fulness), by way of our very own "the Gridiron Newsstand" and "The REAL Feed" page.
