1. Randy Moss- Who else could it be?
2. Terrell Owens- Averaged 83 recs, 1,267.5 yards, 14 TD in two seasons with Dallas
3. Reggie Wayne- Proved he’s more than product of having Harrison on the other side.
4. Marques Colston- Made up for poor first month with great final month.
5. T.J. Houshmanzadeh- This is the year he surpasses Chad Johnson.
6. Braylon Edwards- Could anyone be happier about addition of Donte Stallworth?
7. Larry Fitzgerald- 100 recs, 1,409 yards and 10 TD. 5+ catches in 12 games.
8. Chad Johnson- His antics affect his value on the field and in fantasy.
9. Andre Johnson- Battling groin injury already.
10. Torry Holt- Bruce is gone & Bennett stinks; Rams need him as much as ever.
11. Plaxico Burress- 29 TD over last three seasons. Undervalued. 
12. Wes Welker- The George Harrison of the wide receiver class; lays low and produces.
13. Anquan Boldin- Instead of complaining about contract, needs to get healthy.
14. Marvin Harrison- Sure looks healthy in the preseason.
15. Steve Smith- No self control kills his value.
16. Santonio Holmes- 1,766 yards and 10 TD in first two years. Primed for breakout.
17. Greg Jennings- Have to wonder how loss of Favre affects production.
18. Roy Williams- Contract year of ’08 may finally motivate to realize potential.
19. Calvin Johnson- Concerns over new OC Colletto’s run first style.
20. Donald Driver- Over last three years, fifth highest Target average in NFL (147)
21. Brandon Marshall- May end up missing a month or more.
22. Joey Galloway- Has not participated in a single Bucs practice thus far.
23. Bernard Berrian- Poor QB’ing may limit him again. Big play threat regardless.
24. Lee Evans- Seven games w/two or less catches in 2007. 6 w/less than 20 yards.
25. Dwayne Bowe- If Croyle can be just decent, should have 1,000 yard season.
26. Javon Walker- Can he stay healthy?
27. Chris Chambers- To own him is to hate him. One 1,000+ season in seven years.
28. Hines Ward- 10 rec, 135 yard performance in playoffs vs. Jags shows he isn’t’ done.
29. Santana Moss- WR they drafted are both hurt. #1 WR.
30. Laveranues Coles- Has scored 5+ TD in six of eight pro seasons.
31. Jerricho Cotchery- Back to back 82 rec seasons. Out performed Coles as #2 WR.
32. Kevin Curtis- In 13 of 16 games, failed to record 80 receiving yards.
33. Nate Burleson- Should emerge w/loss of Hackett, Branch’s knee injury.
34. Roddy White- Yards (1,202) and TD (6) in ’07 eclipsed totals of first 2 seasons.
35. Donte Stallworth- Weeks 5-7 averaged 6 recs, 84 yards and scored 3 TD.
36. Anthony Gonzalez- If Harrison is fully healthy, drop him lower.
37. Patrick Crayton- Seven TD in ’07 even though he was essentially 3rd WR.
38. Derrick Mason- 164 Targets in ’07 was 4th highest in NFL.
39. DeSean Jackson- leading Eagles in receptions after two preseason games.
40. Jerry Porter- Should be fully healed by season opener.
