So let's dive right into this week's topic; the top fantasy wideouts heading into the 2010 NFL season:
1.) Andre Johnson: lit up the league last year and will continue to do so. Johnson and QB Matt Schaub are in sync and continue to get better. I think Johnson will lead the league in both receiving yards and TD's.
2.) Larry Fitzgerald: everyone knows that Fitz is a beast out on the gridiron but there is one major change that may play a detrimental role in his numbers this season; no Kurt Warner. With college stud Matt Leinart taking over the throne at QB it will almost be near impossible for Fitz to be expected to do what he did with Warner but without Anquan Boldin on the other side that just means more opportunities to make up for the loss of Warner.
3.) Randy Moss: Moss is obviously getting older and may not be the player he was a few years back but he still is the best receiver since Jerry Rice retired from the league and is in the last year of his contract. With Brady fully back from knee surgery that effected him somewhat last year and Wes Welker out with his own knee injury we may just see glimpses of the record setting year Brady and Moss had together back in 2007.
4.) Calvin Johnson: I know he plays on one of the NFL's worst teams but CJ has continued to get better each year. Sophomore QB Matthew Stafford is a gunslinger with a big arm and Calvin is his main target. They added a few offensive weapons this offseason through free agency and the draft which will take some pressure off of Johnson and allow him to produce at an even higher level.
5.) Reggie Wayne: Veteran All-Pro playing alongside a very young receiving core on top of having the games best QB throwing him the ball makes Reggie Wayne a no brainer. I expect him to bounce back from an underachieving season last year for him and make a big splash. This also coincides with me thinking that Peyton may break the record for most passing yards in a season this year.
Honorable Mentions: Brandon Marshall, Miles Austin, Vincent Jackson
Next week tune in for a double dose of Tight Ends/Kickers because those are the two most valuable spots to add talent when trying to give your team a real edge over the rest of the field.
So enjoy one of the final few weekends of summer and make sure to start looking for your big time sleepers as preseason games continue on.
P.S. On a side note the JETS are going to make a statement on Monday night against the G-Men cementing there place in the New Meadowlands, Rex Ryan statue is already in the works to be put outside.
