Here's one of the dirty little secrets of fantasy football -- the top wide recievers are much more reliable than the top running backs. Draft one of these guys and 1000 yards and 5+ TDs is practically a lock. You can't say that about the top ten RBs.

Fitzgerald, Larry |
ARZ |
He's feeling the love from his great 2008 season and Super Bowl performances, but how much would the loss of Boldin affect him? (Answer: A lot) |
|
2 |
Johnson, Andre |
HOU |
The greatest offensive player in the NFL today that 80% of fans have never heard of. The Texans just might put it all together this year. |
|
3 |
Moss, Randy |
NE |
At this point he's making it look routine. |
|
4 |
Jennings, Greg |
GB |
In a few years, he might be the best WR in the league. |
|
5 |
White, Roddy |
ATL |
He's put up 2,584 rec yards the past two seasons with a group of QBs that were either rookies or bums. It's pretty amazing when you think about it. This year, Matt Ryan is neither a rookie nor a bum. |
|
6 |
Johnson, Calvin |
DET |
He's an amazing talent, but he needs to somebody else to step up and take the pressure off him. |
|
7 |
Wayne, Reggie |
IND |
The rebuilt Colts running game will make his life a little bit easier. |
|
8 |
Boldin, Anquan |
ARZ |
This ranking is based on him staying in Arizona, although there are a few teams where he'd keep this position. |
|
9 |
Marshall, Brandon |
DEN |
He won't miss a beat with Kyle Orton...assuming he's still in Denver. If he goes somewhere else throw this ranking out the window. |

Ochocinco, Chad |
CIN |
A healthy Carson Palmer and no Housh means 85 is once again the star of his team. He likes it that way. He'll be happy. A happy Ochocinco is a productive Ochocinco. |
