OK, so doesn't this mean that the other impact players (Brown, Rice, Garner) become better plays?

What about after this week?

Yea, I was a little perplexed by Cal's comment, as well, bg. I'm not reporting these injuries/surgeries in an effort to question the Raiders' ability to win this week or any week. I'm reporting them, particularly the Porter injury/surgery, for fantasy consideration. [smiley=shrug.gif]

Of course Tim Brown's value skyrockets by the Porter injury.
