1. Fitz - Just think, last year was just year 2. He extended Warner's career a little like Randy did for George and Cunningham when he was a youngster. Next year he'll make Leinart look good.

 

2. Moss - This is risky, but when Randy is healthy, DAMN!

 

3. TO - Probably a safer pick than Randy, but I'm a risk taker. Seems like a TD every week.

 

4. Smitty - Total stud, let's see if he can do it again. Probably can until all of Carolina's RB's get hurt again.

 

5. Holt - Hmm...I think he's good for 1300 and 8-10. It's like a broken record, every year baby!

 

6. CJ - If Palmer is ready to go and doesn't look skiddish in late preseason, I'll move Chad up a spot, maybe 2.

 

7. Boldin - Tough as nails. Hopefully his body can keep taking the licks he sets himself up for.

 

8. Harrison - I had a tough time putting Marvin this low, but I want to see how well he comes back from the elbow surgery.

 

9. Wayne - Ultra-safe pick here. It seems like worst case scenario he's good for 1000 and 10 this year, best case 1300-14.

 

10. Roy Williams - Like I said earlier, I'm a risk taker. This guy's been a stud with every idiot passer the Lions have thrown out there. Now maybe Kitna/McCown will be able to throw the ball closer to his body so he can stay healthy for a full season.

 

11. Chambers - its tough to stomach those dry TD spells because his yardage totals fluctuate so much, but it looks like he finally broke through for good.

[dmac37 1]

Holt- The only one without question marks

TO- New system but sick talent

Smith- Can't blame him for being hurt 2 years ago

CJ- Very solid, what about Palmer

Fitz- Main reason I won 2 championships last year

Moss- High risk high reward

Harrison- Could be passing the torch to Wayne

Boldin- Gets more looks than Fitz.

Wayne- Healthy and emerging

Djax- Should be the man

Roy Will- A star waiting to happen with Martz

[remote controller 143]

WR

 

1. Steve Smith - Can't be covered, and Keyshawn will help relieve pressure converting 3rd downs

2. Chad Johnson - Nice have T. J. on otherside, and Rudi running the ball.

3. Larry Fitzgerald - Nice compliment in Boldin, and a beast in the redzone. Edge is a serious upgrade.

4. Terrell Owens - Had to put him somewhere. I won't be drafting him.

5. Marvin Harrison - Should improve on last years #'s with Edge gone. Reggie wayne is a nice distraction.

6. Randy Moss - See TO. Has no where to go but up this season. I won't be drafting him either.

7. Torry Holt - Great stable of wideouts to compliment him.

8. Anqaun Boldin - He will be huge between the 20's, and on 3rd downs.

9. Chris Chambers - I would love to move him up. CPEPP throws a nice deep ball.

10. Darrell Jackson - Seattle will amass plenty of yards through the air, predominatley through DJax.

11. Donald Driver - Javon is gone, and Driver has been sneaky productive while he was there.

 

Just missed top 11- Wayne, Ward, Wiliams, Moss, and Johnson

 

An extremely deep and competitive group of wideouts. Grab one in rounds 2 or 3, then let them fall to you in rounds 6 through 10.

One thing I've decided while looking through WR rankings this year is that they are deeper than I can ever recall. I'll definately be spending more of my auction dollars on RB's this year.

[BREWSTER_MIL 0]

Holt #1 for sure.............

Moss bounce back

Harrison to catch more balls this year

Smith to catch less this year Meshawn to steal some

its tough after this....

[texasmouth 1]

1. Steve Smith- not yet convinced anyone can stop this guy. In a PPR league, he is still #1 because he catches a ton of balls whether he gets the big home run or not.

 

2. Terrell Owens- If Terry Glenn can have great stats with Bledsoe, Owens will dominate. I am guessing 10-15 TD at minimum.

 

3. Larry Fitzgerald- Dominant, that is about all I can say about this guy.

 

4. Torry Holt- always consistent. Nothing will change here, no matter who the coach is.

 

5. Reggie Wayne- this is the season tha Wayne takes over as the go to guy. He really showed what he could do last year and this year he takes the next step. Marvin wont be far behind though.

 

6. Anquan Boldin- Still the show stopper. Probably would have had more TD than Fitz if he stayed healthy all season. That is why he is here and not Fitz, he has to stay on the field. Fitz does.

 

7. Chris Chambers- This pick is null and void if Culpepper doesn't come back. If he does, Chambers will be hard to stop. He put up super solid numbers with Gus Frerotte and the Dolphin mascot playing QB last season. Give him a real QB and see the sparks fly.

 

8. Marvin Harrison- 8th isn't too shabby. He will still be really solid but he wont put up as big of numbers as his copartner. This doesnt mean he will have a down season, it just means other people will have bigger seasons.

 

9. Chad Johnson- I am not sold on Carson Palmer being healthy when the season starts, I just have a feeling about it. Anthony Wright will make Bengals fans miss the days of David Klinger. If Palmer comes back healthy, CJ has no bounds. He could very well be number 1.

 

10. Hines Ward- he is the new Cris Carter in my opinion. The guy puts together solid numbers every year. Last year wasnt great but this season he will be back in the top ten.

 

11. Randy Moss- I am not willing to put this guy in my top ten until he proves he can stay healthy for a full season. He just didnt seem like he wanted to be out there last year. Brooks sucks but he has a cannon for an arm and he did help Joe Horn become a pro bowler. Moss is the most talented WR in the NFL, if he can just stay healthy........

 

 

*Darrell Jackson looked okay at the end of the season but he had another off season surgery and he is having problems with it still. More than likely he will be fine but he burned me last season and I havent forgotten that.....

 

*Plaxico Burress- I still dont know what to think about this guy. He put up some great numbers last season and proved he can be a #1 guy but he just always seems risky to me, not absolutely sure why but he does.

 

*Santana Moss- Can he do it again? Will he need to? Al Saunders isnt famous for getting his receivers involved and they will be using Portis until he passes out and dies.

 

*Joey Galloway- not sure where last season came from, why the hell he couldnt do that in Dallas is frustrating, especially after Dallas gave up two first round picks for him......but if he can do it again, I would be really impressed.

 

*Roy Williams- It is put up or shut up time for RW. I think everything is in place for this guy to completely explode this season. I love his potential, I love Martz as coordinator, I love Kitna as his QB, I hate the fact that he plays for Detroit.......

 

*Donald Driver- This guy is so under rated and under valued that it isnt funny. The guy had 86 receptions and 1221 yards and 5 TD in possibly Favre's worst year ever and with no one on the other side to help him out and the 18th string RB in the back field. Driver was 7th in receptions and 8th in yardage last year with all of those bad aspects imagine if Favre has a good season.

 

*Javon Walker- if he is healthy, he will be a complete monster in Denver. Rod Smith is the best complimentary receiver in NFL history, that could really help Walker return to star status.

I have done over 10 mocks so far, not one person on your list has made it past the third round, let alone 6-10th round.

TOP 11

 

1- Terrell Owens, DAL- First year with Dallas will be prove to be wonderful as the Bledsoe-Owens connection will be in full swing. Next year however will be a different story...

 

2- Chad Johnson, CIN- Carson Palmer will be healthy soon enough and will only improve on Chad's amazing talented all-around game.

 

3- Marvin Harrison, IND- No Edge means more passing and more passing means more Manning-to-Harrison, which means gaudy stats.

 

4- Darrell Jackson, SEA- Here's my first surprise pick as I will break away from the typical conventional picks to go out on a limb. A healthy Jackson for the year will equal his biggest season yet playing for a very good Seattle offense.

 

5- Steve Smith, CAR- The addition of Keyshawn and an established running game will take away some opportunities for Smith but the #1 wideout for Carolina has consistently produced elite numbers the past several years.

 

6- Torry Holt, STL- I think Mr. Consistent will fall back a tiny bit but won't make that much of a difference. This guy is amazing and knows where to go to get open. Solid, indeed.

 

7- Reggie Wayne, IND- No Edge means more passing and more passing means, in addition to Manning-to-Harrison, more Manning-to-Wayne, which means gaudy stats.

 

8- Anquan Boldin, ARI- With Edge in the backfield, there won't be enough numbers to go around the Big Three of this team; I choose Boldin to get the majority of the receptions and yardage.

 

9- Donald Driver, GB- Like FFToday's predictions, I'm also very high on Driver this year as I think another year with Favre plus a weak defense means more passing. Driver is the primary target and will receive most of Favre's bombs.

 

10- Larry Fitzgerald, ARI- See Boldin. Fitz will get the TDs in the red zone.

 

11- Chris Chambers, MIA- Chambers is a very talented receiver who just needs a healthy and consistent QB throwing to him. If Culpepper can return to form, Chambers will greatly benefit.

 

 

Some quick points:

- I don't believe in Aaron Brooks, therefore, I don't believe that Randy Moss can put up his all-world numbers this season.

 

- Santana Moss is quick but he cannot dominate and I don't believe in Mark Brunell.

 

- Hines Ward is tough and will get his share of TDs, but I think his days as a top fantasy wideout are over.

 

- I predict Joe Horn will have a very nice bounce back season and will push to make this list come season's end.

 

- Derrick Mason will be a top 15 wideout and possibly top 10.

 

- Plaxico Burress sucks. Well, he's 10,000 times better than me so I shouldn't be saying that.. and he's tall.. and really really dark with bulgy eyes... Ok, he doesn't suck. But I don't like him... though I wouldn't want to pick a fight with him or tell it to his face. Well, fine, he's a good player, but he's too inconsistent to make my list of top 11.
