NOTES FROM THE FANTASY UNDERGROUND (WIDE RECEIVERS)

With free agency, and the changing carousel of coaches this years crop of wide receivers is a bit more difficult to draft from. For example, the Bears now have a new coach who is definitely more offensive minded, and the Arizona Cardinals now have a new quarterback, Carson Palmer. How will that impact how we draft? Questions regarding a players maturity enter the equation as well when you consider where to draft Dez Bryant. Can he be counted on to step it up with his alleged maturity? There are always question marks going into each year’s draft but this year seems to have more than normal. So with that in mind I have listed the top 48 wide receivers to follow this short commentary:

Calvin Johnson

Dez Bryant

A.J. Green

Julio Jones

Brandon Marshall

Wes Walker

Randall Cobb

Larry Fitzgerald

Andre Johnson

Demaryius Thomas

Roddy White

Victor Cruz

Vincent Jackson

Reggie Wayne

Marques Colston

Jordy Nelson

Danny Amendola

Dwayne Bowe

Mike Wallace

T.Y. Hilton

James Jones

Torrey Smith

Anthony Brown

Hakeem Nicks

Danario Alexander

Tavon Austin

DeSean Jackson

Mike Williams

Steve Johnson

Greg Jennings

Pierre Garcon

AnQuan Bolden

Lance Moore

Miles Austin

Andre Hopkins

Josh Gordon

Alshon Jeffery

Kenny Brett

Cecil Shorts

Steve Smith

Eric Decker

Golden Tate

Emmanuel Sanders

Aaron Dobson

Reuben Randle

Mohamed Sanu

Justin Blackman

Ryan Broyles

Keep an eye out for the injury status of 2 Seahawk wide receivers who are currently on the injured list. Harvin for example may be worth a late pick or a free agent pick up early in the season subject to how he does in his recovery from hip surgery.
