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. |
