Hey, it could be worse. The only time I've tried to morph into in an NFL Player I screwed it up and ended up as David Carr. I still have flashbacks.....

THEY'RE NOT BLOCKING!!!! BLOW THE WHISTLE!!!!

Ive always been very skeptical of Porter. I dont think he is nearly as good as some would like him to be, in fact, it is not that suprising to see Gabriel having a more productive season than him.

Dropping him for Engram however is just as questionable - especially with Djax returning and Jurevicius emerging.

ateam - when you say you thought he would return to his mean - what mean were you talking about? The one from last yr where he had career highs in YPG, YPC, and tied for TDs - or the 34.3 YPG career average? Point is, the return to the mean theory suggested Porter would have roughly a 550 yd, 4 TD season - that is, if he played all 16 games.

I dropped Porter for Gabriel, for whatever reason, Collins is looking
for Gabriel over Porter. I look for a big game against my Titans.

I think Gabriel has the downfield speed Collins likes.

I also think Gabriel will outproduce Porter from this point on.

He was on our WW and my WR's are weak. I feel like I might have plucked a guy from the wire that will end up in my lineup more often than not.

Gabriel is in his 3rd year so maybe he is starting to reach that 3rd year WR groove.

Only time will tell.

I think the raiders just re-signed Porter so I'm not sure how that will affect Gabriels long term value.

Well, Engram won't make or break my roster. But neither will Porter. In fact, Engram won't make into my starting line-up until he out-performs my starters -- Holt and Galloway. I did start Porter last weekend and he was out-performed by a one-legged Randy Moss and Doug "Don't Call Me Roman" Gabriel. I beleive Engram has more upside than Porter at this point.

BTW -- Porter is still sitting on the WW. I dropped him on Monday.

In the last 2 seasons in which he played a full season, he's scored 9 TD's. This year he has none thus far. In fact in his 1st 9 TD campaign, he caught only 51 balls, he has 25 thus far. As previously mentioned, I feel Collins is just as due. I like his chances vs. TEN/KC upcoming ahead of Gabriel or Engram. I will start him Sunday ahead of Burleson in fact.

Bingo!
