Here Are The Top Ten Best Receivers For This Year's Draft:
Roy Williams, Detroit Lions
Williams has stellar receiving ability and runs precise routes. With Calvin Johnson in town and an improved running game, Williams should be open for big plays and a huge year.
His stats include:
1,310 Receiving Yards
7 Touchdowns
82 Receptions Marvin Harrison, Indianapolis Colts
Harrison once again amassed the 90 receptions mark in 2006 and continued to be a force in the high powered Colts offense. Year after year he has proved to be durable and reliable and this year should be no different as he has shown no signs of slowing down.
His stats include:
1,366 Receiving Yards
12 Touchdowns
95 Receptions
Terrell Owens, Dallas Cowboys
The bad boy of the NFL has had relatively no negative attention so far this off season, which can only be good news. The truth is, Owens is a TD scoring machine and he is still in phenomenal shape. With QB Tony Romo returning as the starter, you can bet on the two hooking up for plenty more scores.
His stats include:
1,180 Receiving Yards
13 Touchdowns
85 Receptions
Chad Johnson, Cincinnati Bengals
Johnson led the league in receiving yards last season and it still wasn't as much as he had in 2005. Johnson is a world class receiver with amazing athletic ability and a never ending supply of confidence. Now with Carson Palmer back in good health, that can only mean good things for Johnson this year.
His stats include:
1,369 Receiving Yards
7 Touchdowns
87 Receptions
Reggie Wayne, Indianapolis Colts
Wayne had another brilliant year last year. As long as Peyton Manning is QB in Indy, Wayne will remain a huge producer in fantasy football.
His stats include:
1,310 Receiving Yards
9 Touchdowns
86 Receptions
T.J. Houshmandzadeh, Cincinnati Bengals
T.J. put up impressive numbers last year in only 14 games. Now that Carson Palmer is back in good health, the sky is the limit as this young receiver will get plenty of chances to make plays while defenses try to stop Chad Johnson.
His stats include:
1,081 Receiving Yards
9 Touchdowns
90 Receptions
Plaxico Burress, New York Giants
Burress is the Giants main option in the passing attack. QB Eli Manning should be better than last year and Plaxico should put up big numbers. He is big, strong and fast, making him the perfect downfield weapon.
His stats include:
988 Receiving Yards
10 Touchdowns
63 Receptions
Donald Driver, Green Bay Packers
Driver is one of the most sure handed and reliable receivers in the league. Playing with a future Hall of Famer Brett Favre, Driver should capitalize on last years Pro Bowl season by having another one.
His stats include:
1,295 Receiving Yards
8 Touchdowns
92 Receptions
Anquan Boldin, Arizona Cardinals
Boldin is a tremendously athletic receiver with great hands. Now that he has a solid quarterback, Boldin should once again dazzle this year and improve on his 4 touchdown receptions.
His stats include:
1,203 Receiving Yards
4 Touchdowns
83 Receptions
Torry Holt, St. Louis Rams
Holt is now in the veteran stage of his career but that doesn't seem to slow him down. Once again he produced big in 2006, having his 7th consecutive year with over 1,000 yards receiving. Look for another big year out of Mr. Consistent.
His stats include:
1,188 Receiving Yards
10 Touchdowns
93 Receptions
Every year there are duds, guys that simply just don't produce. No one wants to get stuck with one, it just seems to happen.
Stay Away From These Guys:
Joe Horn, Atlanta Falcons
Horn has had a great year but he's no longer at the top of his game. Trust in him without a reliable QB (Michael Vick is no longer playing this year) and you shall be sorry. Keyshawn Johnson, Carolina Panthers
Keyshawn lacks explosiveness and is getting old. Steve Smith should be healthy this year and rookie Dwayne Jarrett should take up some of Johnson's catches. Derrick Mason, Baltimore Ravens
Mason had another disappointing season last year and it has now reached the point where one has to ask; when do I learn not to trust in him? Mason will be the number 2, possibly the number three option on offense by the end of the season. Antwaan Randle El, Washington Redskins
Pittsburg was the perfect place for Randle El. Now he will have to suffer as being the number 4 target on a team that is loaded with potential at WR and no one to throw the ball. Brandon Lloyd, Washington Redskins
Once he was a big name out in San Francisco. Now Lloyd will have to pray that he makes it on a Sportscenter show. In 15 games he only collected 365 receiving yards and no touchdowns.
