This is obviously bad news for Jerry Porter fantasy football owners. Hamstring injuries can be nagging injuries that last all year long. If you have Porter on your team, you also have the risk of him re-injuring his hamstring at any point. That said, Porter is talented enough that he’s worthy of a mid to late round pick — even with his injury woes.

The Jaguars will definitely miss Porter. Luckily for Jacksonville, they have plenty of players who can fill in while he’s gone. Troy Williamson was a free agent who was signed this summer who has looked good so far for the Jags in practice. Reggie Williams, Dennis Northcutt, John Broussard and Mike Walker are also on the roster. Williams has the highest upside out of those four. And don’t forget that technically Matt Jones is still on the Jaguars’ roster, even though he recently got arrested for an incident that involved cocaine.

When will Jerry Porter return for the Jaguars?

RB Kolby Smith, Kansas City Chiefs – Larry Johnson appears to possibly be out for the season. Priest Holmes re-injured his neck and may be forced to retire. That leaves Kolby Smith as the starting running back for the Chiefs. Although he’s far from a household name, Smith has shown some flashes of competency. Not only should you pick him up, he’s actually a good start this week versus the Oakland Raiders.

WR Reggie Williams, Jacksonville Jaguars – Williams is about as inconsistent as any player in the NFL. Some games he’s brilliant and appears to be a budding star, while other games he looks absolutely horrible. If you pickup Williams and start him, you just have to hope you start him in one of those good weeks. Those good weeks should be more common with David Garrard back at the helm for Jacksonville.

TE Alex Smith, Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Smith gets a good amount of looks in the red zone and he’s one a very sound football team. The Bucs have a plan offensively and they stick to it. Luckily for Smith, he seems to be an important part for the team, especially around the endzone. Tampa Bay has a great schedule to end the season, which makes Smith an even better waiver wire pickup.
