YAFFT - Dropping McCardell for a backup WR but who?

I have Owens, Koren Robinson, Muhammed, and Rod Smith already but I have freaking McCardell just taking up space on my roster so I would like another WR to replace him. Here the options I'm considering:

Ashley Lelie
Jerry Porter
Eddie Kennison

I would like to pick up Lelie and Porter for their potential but neither of them have shown me anything to date. If there are any other sleeper WR's that will probably be on the waiver wire, I'd like to hear those too. Thanks
 
Lelie has been kinda weak so far, and was injured for a bit. Porter is the #1 in Oakland, I think, but do you really want a wr who has a 94 year old qb throwing to him? And Kennison plays in KC, the land of Priest. Eddie's numbers will be inconsistant at best, I would imagine.

Take a look at any of NE's wideouts. Givens has almost 200 yards in 2 games (but no TDs yet), Patten has gotten a lot of touches for a #3 man, and Troy Brown is looking to come back soon (but is injured now, don't pick him up if you want immediate production). Basically, Brady spreads it around, so you can usually pick up a few points from a NE wr, but then again you can't depend on game breaking performances by anyone, either.
 
Gannon is old but, I still think he can have a good season. I had Lelie on my team last year and he did nothing for me, I'm beginning to think he'll be another JJ Stokes.
 
I've got McCardell too, but it doesnt look like he's getting traded, or getting his money anytime soon... So I should probably drop his ass too.
 
Roy Williams
Reche Caldwell
Marcus Robinson
any of those guys available?

RW is a stud if you can get him
 
Reche Caldwell is available but, with Brees at QB i'm not sure how consistantly productive he's going to be.
RW is not available, would definitely pick him up.
 
drop McCardell, he's not coming back to TB. TB is going no where this year anyway, why would they pay him more to come back?

Grab Porter. You could also look for Colbert who is taking over in Carolina for Steve Smith. I think Delhomme is a little more reliable than Gannon, but Gannon can still get the ball to his guys, it's just hard to predict in Oak who will get the ball. Take a flyer on whichever you feel will breakout.
