Curry healthy again: Ronald Curry has dealt with so many injuries in his NFL career that he wasn't about to let a bone spur in his foot sideline him last season. Curry played through that pain to be Oakland's leading receiver last year until it finally became too tough to handle this offseason. After undergoing surgery on his left foot that forced him to miss six weeks of offseason practices, Curry returned to his usual spot at receiver this week for the Raiders. Curry said he had trouble planting on the foot before the operation, but says he is now running pain free with six weeks before training camp starts. Curry had his seasons shortened by injuries to his Achilles' tendons in both 2005 and '06, hindering his development as an NFL receiver after playing quarterback in college. But he led the team with 55 catches for 717 yards and five touchdowns last season and is being counted on again heavily this season. (Updated 06/13/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Curry, joins Walker and free-agent acquisition Drew Carter as the only proven receivers on the roster. "Regardless of who was here, I felt like I always been productive, whatever they ask me to do. And it's not going to change this year ...," Curry said. "You know, Javon, he's going to be the guy, and I'm just going to be out there making the plays when they go to me." Consider Curry a sleeper in deep Fantasy leagues this year. He should be drafted as a No. 4 Fantasy option with upside if he plays well in tandem with Walker and with second-year QB JaMarcus Russell.
