| Raiders WR Javon Walker was found unconscious just outside the Las Vegas strip early Monday morning, as the victim of an apparent robbery, according to Rotoworld.
Although Walker - one of the NFL’s top three highest paid WRs after signing with Oakland this off-season - is listed at an area hospital in fair condition, there are many reports that the has “significant injuries” including an orbital fracture.
We won’t comment now on the situation, but we will give our fantasy take. This is not good for Walker owners. Flat out - he may not play this year. Cowboys safety Ken Hamlin suffered head and neck injuries in a club altercation while playing with the Seahawks, and was miraculously able to recover and re-start his career, hopefully Walker will be as fortunate.
We wish the best for Walker, but at this point - with these injuries - football doesn’t appear to be in his immediate future, thus his fantasy value - dynasty and otherwise - is in serious jeopardy.
Ronald Curry would likely step in and replace Walker in Oakland’s starting line-up, while Drew Carter would see an increased role as well.
