Kellen Winslow (knee) was held out of practice Thursday.
Get used it. The Bucs have often given Winslow a planned day of rest for his surgically repaired knee, and that will remain the case again this year. Rotoworld ranks Winslow No. 8 among fantasy tight ends for this week's game against the Lions.
ESPN.com is reporting that Kellen Winslow has been outfitted with mechanically augmented replacement knees. The NFL is looking into the legality of the prostheses.
Dawgpound - I've had Winslow on at least one of my fantasy rosters since his days with the Browns. He's not going to light it up like a Gates of course, but dude is always productive and good for over 100 points a year when he stays healthy. Plus, every now and then he puts up a 15-20 point performance. One word of advice - they hold him out of practice alot because of his knees, but dont let that deter you from starting him.
Yeah they do, and I think his chronic knee problems have sapped some of his after-catch ability, but he's pretty steady. The position is loaded with fantasy sex appeal this year, which makes plain Janes like him seem like non-options, but 800-900 yards and a half-dozen TDs would have been a godsend, six or seven years ago. I am interested to see how Detroit's reloaded front seven do, and how Winslow does against them.
With how loaded the fantasy world is with fantasy potential this year, Kellen Winslow seems to be one of the casualties. It feels like there's just no reason to be excited about him. Just within his division, Jimmy Graham and Greg Olsen seem like much more worthy investments. Still, it seems like Winslow should have the opportunity for a big year in what appears to be a developing, improving Tampa offense. Of course, Freeman could easily regress this year, and it doesn't project to be an explosive offense.. any thoughts or hunches on Kellen, Jr.?

I'm starting him this week. His numbers were not at all bad last year.
