Michael Crabtree, the wide receiver out of Texas Tech, has been diagnosed with a stress fracture in his foot. He will require surgery that will keep him out six-to-ten weeks.
However, despite his need for the surgery to put a screw in his foot, Crabtree will run the 40-yard dash. His time in the event is very important to NFL teams. If he can run a very good time, he should hold onto his strong spot in the 2009 NFL Draft.
In fact, we currently have Crabtree ranked first in our 2009 NFL Draft wide receiver rankings. Even if Crabtree runs a disappointing time and goes through with his surgery, it’s extremely unlikely that he’ll drop out of the top five wide receivers in the draft.
Overall, Crabtree fantasy football stock has to drop due to this news. Even though he should be 100% by the time the NFL season begins, NFL teams and fantasy owners will worry about his foot until he proves otherwise.
