Philadelphia Eagles' WR Kevin Curtis will undergo hernia surgery.
His timetable is unknown, but he certainly won't be ready for the start of the regular season. It remains to be seen how many weeks he'll actually miss.
Fantasy Impact: Kevin Curtis can obviously no longer be relied upon as a WR3. The uncertainty of his recovery time makes his value very tricky to predict, but I'm of the mindset to take him as a WR5 and nothing more. Once he returns, he should be a candidate to post WR3 numbers in what should be a solid Eagles offense, but these injuries are tough to figure out.
Reggie Brown is dealing with his own hamstring injury, and if he can get himself ready for the start of the season, he'll have a chance to dominate the passing game targets as the unquestioned #1 receiver on the team. He did not look good prior to his injury, but he's now an interesting boom/bust WR4 to be considered once you have your starting WRs already drafted. Rookie DeSean Jackson stands to gain the most fantasy value as he's a speed threat much like Curtis, so he's worth considered as a WR5 with interesting upside. He has impressed so far in camp and in preseason games. Donovan McNabb should be downgraded slightly, but he's no stranger to performing with mediocre WRs, as that's all he did prior to Owens joining the team.
