Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The Redskins released Gaffney on Tuesday, even though the 31-year-old receiver was coming off his most productive season as a pro, with 68 catches for 947 yards and five touchdowns. As Profootballtalk.com's Josh Alper
noted earlier, the Patriots have added Brandon Lloyd, Donte’ Stallworth and Anthony Gonzalez to a receiving group that already included Deion Branch, Chad Ochocinco and Julian Edelman. Wes Welker will also be back, whether he signs his franchise tender or a long-term deal, and that makes for a crowded depth chart. Alper advised his readers that Gaffney likely moves ahead of some of the other veterans and his arrival might lead someone like Ochocinco to ask for a release so that he can find a place he’s likelier to see the field in 2012.
