Name Notes
Andre Johnson Caught 84 of Schaub's 251 completions; averages 6.8 catches per game in last 3 years
Larry Fitzgerald Averages 6.2 catches per game in last 4 years but Cardinals won't attempt 630 passes this year so his stats could suffer a little.
Randy Moss He had somewhat of a down year with Cassel at QB last year but should bounce back with Brady back at QB.
Reggie Wayne Wayne has at least 80 catches in last 4 seasons and this year no Harrison, like in 2007 when he had 104 catches…
Marques Colston 31 catches in his final 5 games last season; Moore had 22; expect Colston to get his #1 WR job back
Steve Smith Should get more TDs than last year but his YPR were an anomaly last year.
Wes Welker He has 223 catches in the past two years, there's no reason why he can't top 100 again with Brady back.
Anquan Boldin Averages 6.5 catches per game in last 4 years when he plays (more than Fitzgerald) but he's missed 16 games in 5 years.
Greg Jennings Jennings is a very safe bet to have similar numbers as in 2008 with everyone is back on this offense
Dwayne Bowe Had 86 catches last season; this year he gets a better QB, Gonzalez is gone and Haley should help him.
Terrell Owens Owens has been a top 5 WR with 3 different teams so he could be one again but he's a big risk at 35 with a new team.
Chad Ochocinco At least 85 catches and 7 TDs per year until last year; he should bounce back but he's still a big risk
Calvin Johnson 41 catches in final 8 games but is on a bad offense that added 2 WRs that average over 40 catches per year in last 6 years.
Torry Holt Holt had 90 receptions in 6 straight seasons until last year; he will bounce back this year with a good QB.
Braylon Edwards #1 WR in Cleveland with about 5 guys fighting for the #2 spot; he will be targeted more than ever, will need to step up.
Brandon Marshall 206 catches in last 2 seasons but doesn't want to be in Denver and has a new QB.
Hines Ward Has been very consistent in past 5 years, average of 5 catches per game; only 33 and still #1 WR in this offense
Jerricho Cotchery 235 catches in last 3 years; 29 catches in 5 games in 2007 without Coles and Clemens / Pennington as his QBs.
Donald Driver 45 catches in final 9 games of the year; Jennings had 43. Driver is 34 but he's been consistent and healthy all his career
Eddie Royal 91 catches in 15 games in his rookie year but he's a risk with a new QB and a new head coach; should get more TDs though
Anthony Gonzalez 35 catches in last 2 years in 9 games that Harrison missed (mostly in 2007); should have improved since 2007.
Roddy White Two good seasons in a row but ball will be spread with Gonzalez and this is a run-first team.
T.J. Houshmandzadeh 89 catches per year in last 5 seasons but WRs with new teams are always risky; Engram did catch 94 balls in 2007 though.
Santana Moss Averages 4.6 catches per game since joining the Redskins but Moss is always somewhat of a risk
DeSean Jackson He had few TDs in his rookie year but that should change this year; 2nd year WRs like him generally get more catches too.
Antonio Bryant He had a breakout season last year but with a new QB and new OC, he's high risk and high reward.
Derrick Mason Mason has caught 337 passes in the last four years and has not missed a start in 6 years.
Santonio Holmes He has never had more than 55 catches in a season and is still the #2 WR in this offense.
Domenik Hixon 32 catches in 7 games that Burress missed or played very little in; has breakout potential with Burress and Toomer gone.
Laveranues Coles Always a risk when a WR moves to a new team; 2 WRs can succeed in this offense and Coles had success with Cotchery.
Donnie Avery 53 receptions in his rookie year, will be the #1 WR in this offense and Rams should be better than last year.
Lee Evans Evans has the potential to be a top 10 WR but he slowed down in the past 2 years and hard to say how Owens will impact him.
Devin Hester Hester had 51 catches with Orton as his QB, imagine what he can do with Cutler.
Vincent Jackson Good season last year but his YPC and TD/Recs will drop, don't expect him to come close to those numbers in 2009.
Steve Breaston 43 receptions in weeks 8 to 15 with Fitz and Boldin in the line up or 18.9% of Warner's completions.
Ted Ginn According to many Ginn is the #1 WR in this offense but Camarillo was Pennington's favorite target last year.
Steve Smith He looks to be the sure handed guy in this passing game, should improve over last season
Kevin Curtis He has 110 catches in 25 regular season games with the Eagles and says he is now 100% but has rookie Maclin behind him.
Kevin Walter Caught 41 of Schaub's 251 completions; 125 catches in last 2 years; his #2 WR job is safe
Bernard Berrian #1 WR but only 18 catches in final 8 games in 2008; only caught 50% of the balls thrown his way; Harvin and Rice right behind.
Greg Camarillo He had 55 catches in 11 games last year and there's no reason why he can't top that number in 16 games.
Justin Gage Injured often but had 21 receptions in final 7 games and had a great playoff game.
Roy Williams Was a non-factor in 2008; 16 receptions in final 7 games; should improve with Owens gone but still very risky
Lance Moore Moore will still get a lot of receptions but Colston is back; watch how Moore's shoulder holds up in camp.
Deion Branch 22 catches in final 5 games in 2008, 49 catches in 11 games in 2007; should now be healthy.
Mark Bradley Looked pretty good when healthy; should have an even bigger role with Gonzalez gone but will compete with Engram.
Patrick Crayton 19 catches in 6 games until Williams arrived and had 50 in 15 games in 2007 but will need to stay ahead of Austin.
Nate Washington In past 4 years, no Titans WR has had more than 60 receptions, Washington will get a chance to start but he's nothing special
Isaac Bruce 37 catches in final 8 games with Hill at QB but is now 37 years old and lots of WRs in this offense.
Muhsin Muhammad 11 WRs had 50+ catches at 35 yrs old, avg drop in catches is 24%, only one had more than previous year
Mark Clayton Still #2 WR with Mason back and has been unable to stay healthy.
Michael Crabtree Very talented but there will be 6 WRs competing for receptions in this offense 
Chansi Stuckey #2 WR on the Jets offense, 32 catches as #3 WR last year and no one on the roster can really steal his spot.
Laurent Robinson Burton and Robinson will fight for the #2 WR job, the winner could be a big sleeper.
Percy Harvin A lot of uncertainty at the WR position in Minnesota but Harvin has a lot of upside.
Antwaan Randle El 104 catches in the last 2 seasons; might not be targeted as much with 2 young guys behind him; his #2 WR job is safe though.
Josh Morgan Morgan showed some sparks last year but was not targeted very often with Hill at QB and tons of WRs in this offense
Bobby Engram Gonzalez's 96 receptions have to go to someone and even at 36, Engram is a good possession WR
Michael Clayton #2 WR in this offense with a new OC and has talent as he showed in his rookie year.
Mike Walker Walker should be #2 WR on a very good offense but needs to stay healthy.
Chris Chambers Hasn't done much since joining the Chargers and Malcolm Floyd isn't very far behind on the depth chart
Nate Burleson He seems to be healthy after missing most of 2008 season but probably won't get many receptions unless Branch gets hurt
Robert Meachem Meachem seems to finally be stepping up again, could this be his year?
Davone Bess Bess looked great in the final five games when Camarillo was hurt but will be #3 WR in this offense.
Bryant Johnson Johnson is a talented guy but his potential is pretty limited on a poor offense, even as the #2 WR.
Earl Bennett Bennett has not proven anything yet but he should be the #2 WR in Chicago and he worked with Cutler at Vanderbilt.
Malcom Floyd He had 20 catches in his final 7 games before his injury and is also a favorite of Rivers in the red zone
Darrius Heyward-Bey No Oakland WR had more than 25 catches last year, Heyward-Bey is probably the only one worth a shot.
Chris Henry Could have a decent year as a #3 WR; has been targeted often by Palmer in the past, especially in the red zone.
Keenan Burton Burton and Robinson will fight for the #2 WR job, the winner could be a big sleeper.
Michael Jenkins Addition of Tony Gonzalez makes him the #3 target in the passing game.
Sidney Rice A lot of uncertainty at the WR position in Minnesota.
