Marvin Harrison anyone?

I wonder the same thing, too, but Matty posted this nugget on the "WR core" thread:

Kellen Winslow had microfracture surgery prior to the 2007 season and went on to post 82/1106/5.

I too am concerned about microfracture surgery, but in all fairness, he's a TE, not a WR where speed is more important. Also, I had Winslow as my fantasy TE, and I remember sources like rotowire saying he seemed to have lost a step. It's a lot easier to hide any "steps lost" as a TE than a WR. Yes, he put up good numbers, but again...TE.
