Curtis injury opens door for others

I heard the anguished cry from across the room: The office Eagles fan was moaning. Football season had officially begun! Kevin Curtis is probably out to November. So what do fantasy owners do?
First of all, Anquan Boldin is not going anywhere. The Eagles will remain a pass-first team, and they will have to get increased production from Reggie Brown, L.J. Smith, and DeSean Jackson. Hank Baskett will also get some targets. It's been a terrible camp for Brown, but someone has to catch passes here. I moved him up the WR rankings a few spots, and Jackson now looks draftable in deeper leagues. Smith gets a small bump too. He can be consistent if he stays healthy for once.
As for Curtis, I wouldn't drop him if you already had your draft. At best, he'll play for half the season though and his ceiling is somewhat limited. The increased chance for further injury makes him a late-round gamble. His new projections don't look good, but I still rate him as a 14th-round flier. A guy to stash.

Yes but would you take DeSean Jackson over Eddie Royal? Inquiring minds want to know...

Why is it so far fetched for Boldin to get traded? Seems to make too much sense to me

So where to you rank Curtis compared to Engram. Do you also recommend keeping Engram on your roster? Both Kevin and Bobby were getting drafted around the same rounds before they got hurt.

Gregg - other sites are saying Curtis is out 6 weeks which makes his return Week 4. You are saying 6 to 8 weeks with a "good scenario" return after their Week 7 bye. Are you ignoring that there are still 2 1/2 weeks before the season starts? Or are you really thinking he's going to miss 10 weeks?
