1.
Larry Fitzgerald, ARI
- Playoff production + return of Boldin means #1.
2. Randy Moss, NE - Brady is back, has Galloway on the other side.
3. Andre Johnson, HOU
- Emerged last season
regardless
of QB play. Schaub loves him.
4. Steve Smith, CAR - Even w/2 game
suspension, Avg
101 yards per game.
5. Reggie Wayne, IND - Don’t forget about
Reggie,
Peyton’s favorite target.
6. Calvin Johnson, DET - Would be top 3 if
QB play
wasn’t so mysterious.
7. Roddy White, ATL - Could he do even
better now
that Tony G has arrived?
8. Anquan Boldin, ARI
- Talent/health is
evident, just
wonder about his attitude.
9. Greg Jennings, GB - Proved in 2008 he
is a better
WR with Rodgers than with Favre.
10. TJ
Houshmandzadeh, SEA - Hasselback can’t
play any
worse, and is now healthy.
11. Wes Welker, NE - Wasn’t as
productive with Cassel, but Brady is back.
12. Dwayne Bowe, KC - Defenses will
double, but
Engram, Toomer and Cassel help.
13. Terrell Owens,
BUF -
Had a “down” year last year
with almost 1,100 and 10 TD.
14. Anthony Gonzalez, IND - Primed for a break
out with Harrison gone.
15. Brandon Marshall,
DEN –
Is a complete maniac. His
value puts him here, not his mind.
16. Marques Colston,
NO -
Coming off micro fracture
surgery on knee & thumb surgery.
17. DeSean Jackson,
PHI -
Led team in receptions and
became McNabb’s go to WR.
18. Chad Ochocinco, CIN - If he listens to
Denzel, he can’t
do worse than horrible ’08.
19. Eddie Royal, DEN - Questions linger
about whether
or not Cutler “made” him.
20. Hines Ward, PIT - The guy you try not
to draft.
Weak WR class increases value.
21. Vincent Jackson, SD - Rivers’ #1 target
after Gates
was limited due to injuries.
22. Antonio Bryant,
TB -
If Brandon Marshall were
older, he’d be Antonio Bryant.
23. Bernard Berrian,
MIN -
Avg 20.1 ypc with 7 TD last
season. Career high 964 yards.
24. Roy Williams, DAL

potentially low
reward. Did nothing after trade.
25. Santonio Holmes,
PIT -
Did not have 100 yards
receiving in any game in 2008.
26. Lee Evans, BUF - Will TO help or
hurt? TD’s
have decreased each season.

- Coming off 5th
straight 1,000 season. Missed 1 game in 5 yrs.
28. Laveranues Coles,
CIN -

CLE –
Led NFL in drops w/16 in 2008.
32. Lance Moore, NO - Have the Saints
finally found
a #2 WR? 10 TD hard to ignore.
33. Ted Ginn Jr, MIA - Numbers better each
yr. 3rd
yr WR theory in full effect?
34. Torry Holt, JAC - Holt was stuck in a
horrible
spot last yr; Ignore the numbers.
35. Jerricho
Cotchery, NYJ - Disappointing ’08
and rookie
QB ’09; don’t expect a lot.
36. Kevin Walter, HOU
- Had 8 TD catches in
’08. Did
you know that?
37. Devin Hester, CHI
- Questions abound,
but taking
him means you get a #1 WR late.
38. Derrick Mason,
BAL -
Back to back 1,000+ yard, 5 TD
seasons. He won’t go away.
39. Donnie Avery, STL
- Is the #1 WR by
default, tied
Holt with 3 TD.
40. Isaac Bruce, SF - It will be
interesting to see
how he does with a whole yr of S Hill.
