Glenn expected to miss season
Big update on my morning Crayton Nation post. Ryan Wilson on Fanhouse just pointed out a Hashmarks post that Terry Glenn is probably done for the season.
Mosley is usually right on with Cowboys news, so this should be proved accurate. Everything positive I've said about Crayton all offseason will now be tested. I can't wait to find out if I'm right; expect Crayton to be a solid WR3 year. I don't see Crayton as a gamebreaker, but a solid possession receiver who will help PPR teams consistently.
The news also helps another Cowboys receiver immensely - and I'm not talking about T.O. Jason Witten just moved up a spot in Tony Romo's progressions. With very little depth behind Owens and Crayton, Witten should play a larger role than normal. This is probably going to be a pass-first team, yet they only have three quality receivers. Owens is going to stretch the field a little more than normal with Crayton and Witten taking the underneath stuff.
I'd be surprised if the Cowboys don't sign a veteran receiver to help fill out the roster.

They are all very very close. I think Curry has the highest ceiling. Crayton is the safest. Id put him ahead of Hackett right now.

Gregg,
I hope this news is accurate. I just dropped Kevin Jones in one league (I have LT, your fav Brandon Jacobs, Portis and Michael Turner in that league) and DJ Hackett in another to pick up Crayton. Was I too hasty?

So for the season has Crayton jumped up over guys like Curry and Hackett?

Who, out of this group, would you pick up to replace him?
Crayton; Curry; Colbert; Welker; Wilford; Any Jones except Matt; or Kevin Jones; or, S.Young (as handcuff to my T.Henry)
Or other suggestions?

I would not drop Kevin Jones for crayton at all. Its not even close. Turner maybe.

Now my decision to pick 2 out of 3 between Ronald Curry v Det, Calvin Johnson @ Oak, and Patrick Crayton v NYG has just gotten more intricate and complex.

Gregg,
What is really going on in New England? Is Moss going to be the Guy or will Stallworth have an increase in value? I know the Pats are hard to read but I have Stallworth and want to know if i should start him.
