Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Porter, who has been inactive all season, was suspended by the Raiders on Saturday, a day after being kicked out of practice by Art Shell. The appeal would be heard by an independent arbitrator. Porter, in the second year of a five-year contract worth $20 million, will be docked about $235,000 in pay if the suspension is upheld.
