RANK Player w/ 2006 Stats Receptions Yards Average Touchdowns Fantasy Points
1 Chad Johnson CIN 87 1369 15.7 7 190
Look for Ocho Cinco to continue as one of the elite wide receivers in the game this season. Nobody celebrates a touchdown like Johnson and few can replicate his stat line. Much like Harrison & Wayne in Indy, Chad Johnson has a cozy set up in Cincy with a premier quarterback (Palmer) tossing him the rock and another top notch WR to draw the defense's focus (Housh). Expect him to go in the 2nd or 3rd round.
2 Marvin Harrison IND 95 1366 14.4 12 221
Marvelous Marvin is the definition of consistency in fantasy sports. He has compiled at least 82 receptions, 1110 receiving yards, and 10 touchdowns for each of the LAST 8 SEASONS! With Peyton throwing him the ball and Reggie Wayne opposite him to prevent double teams, Harrison is a lock to put up big numbers once again in 2007. Look for him to come off the board in the 2nd or 3rd round of standard draft formats.
3 Reggie Wayne IND 86 1310 15.2 9 206
I don't like to think of Wayne as a #2 receiver. In my mind, Harrison is 1A and Wayne is 1a (which is better than 1B). Reggie set career highs last season with 86 catches and 1310 receiving yards and he should reproduce and possibly surpass those numbers this year. I like Wayne as an early 3rd rounder in standard draft formats.
4 Steve Smith CAR 83 1166 14.0 8 182
Steve Smith is undoubtedly one of the most talented receivers in all of football, but he has an injury history that knocks him down behind the top 3 in my eyes. The stats you see above were compiled in 14 games last year, so his per game production puts him at elite status. Look for him to be one of the top 5 WRs off the board in your league.
5 Andre Johnson HOU 103 1147 11.1 5 157
I love Andre Johnson as a mini sleeper of sorts. Most fantasy draft experts have him ranked a little lower than I do (around #10). The arrival of Matt Schaub should definitely help his growth as a premier fantasy WR. Here would be my draft strategy for Johnson. You know the top WRs are going to start coming off the board at the end of the 2nd round and in the 3rd round, so target Johnson with a late 3rd round pick or 4th round pick.
6 Terrell Owens DAL 85 1180 13.9 13 209
There's no denying TO's amazing ability on the football field, but there's always the off the field soap opera that fantasy owners have to worry about. The arrival of new head coach Wade Phillips should be a calming force on Owens because he will once again have a coach that refers to him by name. A big year from Tony Romo would be a huge plus for TO owners as well.
7 Torry Holt STL 93 1188 12.8 10 186
Torry Holt is one of the most consistent performers in fantasy football. He has had 7 straight seasons with 1188+ receiving yard seasons. The only sliver of concern that I have is that 2006 was his lowest yardage output of the last 7 years. But the guy had 10 receiving touchdowns! So maybe I'm being a little too harsh.
8 Lee Evans BUF 82 1292 15.7 8 198
Lee Evans is another player who had a career year in 2006. While his surrounding cast on offense isn't very strong, he is far-and-away the primary passing target, which should ensure another year of solid production. Think of Evans as a low-end No. 1 fantasy WR.
9 TJ Houshmandzadeh CIN 90 1081 12.0 9 154
Housh set career highs in catches, receiving yards, and touchdowns in 2006...in only 14 games. He should be looked at as a low-end No.1 fantasy WR and he'll probably come off of the board in the 4th or 5th round.
10 Anquan Boldin ARI 83 1203 14.5 4 151
Boldin has topped 80 catches and 1,200 yards in 3 of the last 4 seasons and the arrival of Ken Whisenhunt along with the growth of Matt Leinhart should ensure another stud season in 2007. You can throw him in that group of second tier wideouts that should be viewed as low-end No. 1's or excellent No. 2's.
