DMN Blog: Hashmarks puts Glenn under microscope

by Albert Breer

Morning News alumnus Matt Mosley analyzed key injuries for each NFC East team over at Hashmarks. And since we've already been through the Terry Glenn thing 10 times over, we'll give you the link, and then pick out the one thing we haven't discussed 98 times -- the fantasy impact of Glenn's injury.

Here's Matt's take (I have no idea, by the way, about the fantasy skills of this blog's pioneer) ...

Fantasy spin: Draft Terry Glenn as a deep, deep sleeper for your fantasy team, but be very wary of making him one of your starting receivers. Granted, if his knees hold up, Glenn becomes an intriguing deep threat for one of the league's most explosive offenses. But it seems more likely that he'll struggle with injuries again, in which case Patrick Crayton will resume the starting role he inherited all last season. Crayton probably isn't an every-week fantasy starter, either, but he's certainly a safer pick than Glenn.
In case you're wondering, the other three "key injury" guys in the East are Jason Campbell (Redskins), Jeremy Shockey (Giants) and LJ Smith (Eagles).
