Crayton Nation
Moving on from last night's festivities, let's look at the next biggest news to break Thursday afternoon: Terry Glenn's knee setback.
Patrick Crayton Nation (of which I am a proud member on multiple teams) should be salivating over Sunday night's start against the weak Giants secondary. Crayton is a consummate underneath receiver who will allow Terrell Owens to go deep more. He should pile up targets without much depth behind him at wideout. I'm moving his ranking into the top-30 for this week, making him a solid WR3 option or better in points-per-reception leagues.
The only question now is how long Glenn is out for. The Cowboys team website initially said that Glenn could miss the season, and the Dallas Morning News hints that it's possible. The team site scrubbed that report, while Glenn gets more tests done. For now, it looks like a couple weeks minimum.
Glenn owners can wait for more news, but he won't be worth holding on to in shallow leagues if the injury takes a month to heal. Crayton, on the other hand, needs to be owned in all leagues. Then put him in your lineup.

And a note to Season Pass subscribers. Chats will start next week. I've been waiting four years to chat on Rotoworld, so I can wait one more week as we work out some kinks in the system.
Comments
I picked Crayton up in one league already to replace Bowe. I can't decide to pick him up in another over Drew Bennett or Brandon Jones or pass on him for now.

I actually just dropped Brandon Marshall to pick up Crayton. He should be owned in all leagues because at the moment he's in a great situation, but that's just my opinion.

Would you take Crayton over other sleepers such as Brandon Marshall or DJ Hackett?

For whatever it's worth, in the one game Glenn missed last year Crayton went for 104 yards and a TD. I would definitely start him over Curtis. Heck, I'm thinking of benching Housh for him, which I think puts me in the inner circle of Patrick Crayton Nation (or in a looney bin).

that question was related to a PPR league
not sure if that changes anything

I have been following Crayton for a while, and here he is poised to break out, he's sitting on the wire and I don't think I can cut anyone for him. Maddening. Bob, I would do take Crayton over Drew Bennett in second.
