2008 Outlook: Gamble (high risk)

The Raiders drove a dump truck full of money ($55 million over 6 years) up to Javon Walker's door to lure him away from Denver and now he's got to prove that he's healthy enough to make the investment worthwhile. Evidently, Walker himself has doubts. According to ESPN.com, the wideout contemplated retirement during training camp and had to be talked out of it by team owner Al Davis. If Walker's knee holds up (and he can come to his senses and appreciates the obscene amount he's being paid to play ball), he could be a great fit for this offense and the kind of deep threat Jamarcus Russell wouldn't mind leaning on. Walker has considerable upside, but injury concerns (and questions about his sanity) are not the only risks fantasy owners need to consider. Last season the Raiders didn't have a receiver go over 55 catches, 720 yards or 6 TDs, and even Randy Moss was a bust on this team two years ago. Buyer beware.
