Baltimore Ravens RB Willis McGahee has undergone arthroscopic knee surgery to clean out his left knee.
The key word here is "left". This is the same knee that McGahee destroyed in the Orange Bowl during his junior season with Miami, and it kept him out of the 2003 season after being drafted by Buffalo.
Fantasy Impact: The initial timetable for McGahee's surgery is 2-4 weeks, so odds are he won't be ready for week 1. Given this is the same knee from his disastrous knee injury in college, it's of much greater concern than it normally is. I originally had McGahee as appropriately valued at his early 2nd round ADP, but I'm not recommending him in the 2nd round at all anymore. There's a chance he only misses a game or two, but the downside of this is pretty bad. Ray Rice becomes very attractive for all owners, and truth be told, Rice is a better fit in Cam Cameron's offensive scheme that McGahee. Rice is both a powerful RB along with being proficient at catching the ball.
