Rank Player Notes
1 Randy Moss 2007 Stats: 98 rec, 1493 rec yds, 23 rec TDs
Should continue to be unstoppable in Year 2 with the Patriots
2 Terrell Owens 2007 Stats: 81 rec, 1355 rec yds, 15 rec TDs
With no contract to worry about, TO is focused on a ring
3 Reggie Wayne 2007 Stats: 104 rec, 1510 rec yds, 10 rec TDs
The decline of Marvin Harrison only adds to Wayne's value
4 Braylon Edwards 2007 Stats: 80 rec, 1289 rec yds, 16 rec TDs
'07 was the beginning of many superstar campaigns to come
5 Marques Colston 2007 Stats: 98 rec, 1202 rec yds, 11 rec TDs
Can he possibly get better in the magical Year 3 of NFL WRs?
6 Larry Fitzgerald 2007 Stats: 100 rec, 1409 rec yds, 10 rec TDs
Expect Fitzgerald to finally gel with Leinhart this year
7 TJ Houshmandzadeh 2007 Stats: 112 rec, 1143 rec yds, 12 rec TDs
Housh has eclipsed Ocho Cinco as Cincy's #1 WR
8 Andre Johnson 2007 Stats: 60 rec, 851 rec yds, 8 rec TDs
When healthy, he's a top 5 WR...I repeat, when he's healthy
9 Steve Smith (Car) 2007 Stats: 87 rec, 1002 rec yds, 7 rec TDs
Delhomme's return and the addition of new WRs will do wonders
10 Plaxico Burress 2007 Stats: 70 rec, 1025 rec yds, 12 rec TDs
He's an elite WR, but he always battles nagging injuries
11 Wes Welker 2007 Stats: 112 rec, 1175 rec yds, 8 rec TDs
The Pats have the perfect role for Welker
12 Torry Holt 2007 Stats: 93 rec, 1189 rec yds, 7 rec TDs
Will this be the year that he finally starts to decline?
13 Chad Johnson 2007 Stats: 93 rec, 1440 rec yds, 8 rec TDs
Still an elite talent, but where will his head be at on Sundays?
14 Anquan Boldin 2007 Stats: 71 rec, 853 rec yds, 9 rec TDs
Another talented WR with an extensive injury history
15 Greg Jennings 2007 Stats: 53 rec, 920 rec yds, 12 rec TDs
Jennings is entering Year 3, but will have a new QB to work with
16 Brandon Marshall 2007 Stats: 102 rec, 1325 rec yds, 7 rec TDs
It appears that he will recover fully from the offseason injury
17 Santonio Holmes 2007 Stats: 52 rec, 942 rec yds, 8 rec TDs
Another young talent entering his 3rd NFL season
18 Roy Williams 2007 Stats: 63 rec, 836 rec yds, 5 rec TDs
He has a new offense to learn, but he's also in a contract year
19 Calvin Johnson 2007 Stats: 48 rec, 756 rec yds, 4 rec TDs
Supreme talent will hopefully be fully healthy in '08
20 Roddy White 2007 Stats: 83 rec, 1202 rec yds, 6 rec TDs
A solid No. 2 fantasy WR despite the QB situation in Atlanta
21 Dwayne Bowe 2007 Stats: 70 rec, 995 rec yds, 5 rec TDs
Chemistry with Croyle should continue to improve
22 Chris Chambers 2007 Stats: 66 rec, 970 rec yds, 4 rec TDs
A full year in San Diego could make him one of the better #2 WRs
23 Bernard Berrian 2007 Stats: 71 rec, 951 rec yds, 5 rec TDs
He'll be Minnesota's No. 1 guy, but Tavaras Jackson is still QB
24 Jerricho Cotchery 2007 Stats: 82 rec, 1130 rec yds, 2 rec TDs
A solid No. 2 option that needs to find the endzone more often
25 Hines Ward 2007 Stats: 71 rec, 732 rec yds, 7 rec TDs
It's been several years since his last 1,000 yard season
26 Lee Evans 2007 Stats: 55 rec, 849 rec yds, 5 rec TDs
Is he the '06 stud or the '07 bust? Time will tell
27 Marvin Harrison 2007 Stats: 22 rec, 247 rec yds, 1 rec TD
The decline has been swift for the former stud
28 Kevin Curtis 2007 Stats: 77 rec, 1110 rec yds, 6 rec TDs
He was plagued with inconsistency in '07
29 Joey Galloway 2007 Stats: 57 rec, 1014 rec yds, 6 rec TDs
Age and shoulder could present a problem
30 Donald Driver 2007 Stats: 82 rec, 1048 rec yds, 2 rec TDs
Driver has fallen behind Jennings in fantasy terms
31 Santana Moss 2007 Stats: 61 rec, 808 rec yds, 3 rec TDs
Strong finish to '07 could translate into '08 success
32 Bobby Engram 2007 Stats: 94 rec, 1147 rec yds, 6 rec TDs
He'll be important to the Seahawks offense with Branch out
33 Donte Stallworth 2007 Stats: 46 rec, 697 rec yds, 3 rec TDs
Move to the Browns should help after getting lost in New England
34 DJ Hackett 2007 Stats: 32 rec, 384 rec yds, 3 rec TDs
Very talented, but always seems to be hurt
35 Javon Walker 2007 Stats: 26 rec, 287 rec yds, 0 rec TDs
For once Walker doesn't have a contract to complain about
36 Laveranues Coles 2007 Stats: 55 rec, 646 rec yds, 6 rec TDs
Coles is on the downslope of his career
37 Patrick Crayton 2007 Stats: 50 rec, 697 rec yds, 7 rec TDs
He'll again be the 3rd option in the Cowboys pass attack
38 Reggie Brown 2007 Stats: 61 rec, 780 rec yds, 4 rec TDs
Could be a nice '08 sleeper after rough '07 season
39 Nate Burleson 2007 Stats: 50 rec, 694 rec yds, 9 rec TDs
Will be looked upon to ease the burden left by Branch's injury
40 Anthony Gonzalez 2007 Stats: 37 rec, 576 rec yds, 3 rec TDs
His value will increase if Harrison can't go this season
41 Jerry Porter 2007 Stats: 44 rec, 705 rec yds, 6 rec TDs
New scenery could resurrect a once-promising career
42 Sidney Rice 2007 Stats: 31 rec, 396 rec yds, 4 rec TDs
Rice is still another season away from real fantasy impact
43 James Hardy 2007 Stats: DNP
Bills rookie will be looked upon to take pressure off of Evans
44 Bryant Johnson 2007 Stats: 46 rec, 528 rec yds, 2 rec TDs
He'll have the chance to be the #1 guy in San Francisco
45 Derrick Mason 2007 Stats: 103 rec, 1087 rec yds, 5 rec TDs
Receptions stud lacks the big play ability of the top fantasy options
46 Marty Booker 2007 Stats: 50 rec, 556 rec yds, 1 rec TDs
Will return to Chicago as their top receiving option
47 DeSean Jackson 2007 Stats: DNP
Rookie could have more of an impact on special teams
48 Vincent Jackson 2007 Stats: 41 rec, 623 rec yds, 3 rec TDs
Was excellent in the playoffs, but will still be the team's 4th option
49 Ted Ginn Jr. 2007 Stats: 34 rec, 420 rec yds, 2 rec TDs
Second-year WR has a slim chance of gaining fantasy relevance
50 Deion Branch 2007 Stats: 49 rec, 661 rec yds, 4 rec TDs
May be worth a late round flyer if you can afford to store him
