| 11. Anquan Boldin, ARI
 LTV: Just four years into his career, Boldin has already recorded 
              three 1200-yard seasons, and two in which he caught more than 100 
              receptions. If it weren't for a knee injury that caused him to miss 
              nearly half of the 2004 season, it's likely he'd have more than 
              1000 yards receiving in 4 consecutive seasons since the time he 
              was drafted. The only thing that Boldin's fantasy arsenal has lacked 
              is trips to the end zone. He's reached as high as 8 and 7 in years 
              past, but had just 4 scores last year and 1 in his injury-shortened 
              2004 campaign.
 STV: As with Fitzgerald, the result of Whisenhunt's new approach 
                to the offense may limit Boldin's overall production. Eighty receptions 
                and 1100 receiving yards should still be within reach, but it 
                may be more difficult for him to accomplish 1200-1300 yard seasons 
                like he has in the past. JS: Boldin remains paired with Fitzgerald in Arizona until the 
                2010 season under his current contract. At the age 30, he'll be 
                in prime position to capitalize in the free agent market if he 
                doesn't remain with the Cardinals. 12. Andre Johnson, HOULTV: Johnson's 1147 yards and 
                103 receptions during his first year under Gary Kubiak was an 
                encouraging development in his career. Year two in the system 
                brings about a change at the QB position. David Carr was released 
                after a sub par outing in 2006, and the Texans acquired Matt Schaub 
                in a trade with the Atlanta Falcons to replace him. If Schaub 
                performs to his perceived potential, Johnson could have his best 
                season as a pro. However, it's more likely it will be another 
                year or two before he progresses into a consistent number one 
                fantasy receiver.
 STV: This season Johnson may still be limited to no more than 
                1100 yards and 5-6 touchdowns, but the more time he and Schaub 
                spend in Kubiak's system together the more likely he will begin 
                having seasons of 1200-1300 yards and 7-9 touchdowns.  JS: The 25-year old Johnson just signed an 8-year contract extension 
                that runs through the 2014 season. They may restructure the deal 
                before it expires, but the former Miami Hurricane is locked in 
                as their star receiver for the foreseeable future. 13. Randy Moss, NELTV: Moss' long-term value with 
                the Patriots is something to be evaluated on a yearly basis while 
                he remains with the team. The new deal he signed could be worth 
                up to $33 million over a 6-year period, but has clauses built-in 
                allowing the Patriots to release him without a significant hit 
                against the salary cap should they part ways in the near future. 
                If Moss redirects his misguided actions during recent years, pairing 
                with Tom Brady may be just what he needs to jumpstart his career 
                once again.
 STV: There are reasonable concerns to shy away from Moss after 
                his disappointing seasons with the Raiders, but he couldn't have 
                landed in a better situation if he is serious about getting his 
                career back on track. If he's healthy all season, he could very 
                well total 1000-1200 yards with 10-14 touchdowns in New England 
                this season. At this point, he is easily a risk worth taking. JS: There isn't much in the way of job security for Randy Moss. 
                If he keeps himself from being a negative distraction with the 
                team he could very well remain with New England throughout the 
                6-years of his contract. If he falters, he'll be released and 
                Moss will be left looking for a new home. 14. Calvin Johnson, DETLTV: If you're looking for the 
                next young wide receiver that can make an immediate impact upon 
                entering the league, Calvin Johnson is the player to grab. Roy 
                Williams is coming off his best season in the pros and Mike Furrey 
                just had 98 receptions last season, but there will be a number 
                of opportunities for Johnson in Mike Martz's offense. Johnson 
                may take a season or two before becoming more than a number three 
                or four type fantasy receiver, but by his third year in the league 
                it'd be surprising if he doesn't post more than 1000 yards and 
                begin scoring 8-12 touchdowns on a regular basis.
 STV: It's never easy placing projections upon a rookie wide receiver, 
                but Johnson is capable of posting 600-800 yards and 4-7 touchdowns 
                in his first NFL season if he gets into camp on time. JS: The Lions and Calvin Johnson still need to reach agreement 
                on a contract, but expect him to be starting for Detroit by his 
                second or third season, if not sooner. 15. Terrell Owens, DALLTV: Owens will be 34-years old by the end of the season, making 
                him one of those players whose value has hit a road block in dynasty 
                leagues despite the fact he remains one of the best players in 
                the NFL at his position. A broken finger led to many drops from 
                the former San Francisco 49ers and Philadelphia Eagles star, but 
                it didn't keep him from scoring 13 touchdowns in his first season 
                with the Cowboys. He also caught 85 receptions for 1180 yards.
 Owens takes excellent care of his body and as a result will remain 
                among the top receivers in the league for a few more seasons despite 
                his age. Even if he retires once his contract with the Cowboys 
                expires after the 2008 season, the value he gives at the WR position 
                in fantasy leagues makes him a solid selection. Draft players 
                to replace him in the years ahead. Presently, he's too valuable 
                too pass on since he can play a significant role in a fantasy 
                team’s success. STV: If dynasty rankings were based on short-term value alone, 
                Owens' name would appear much closer to the top of this list. 
                He once again remains a threat for 80-90 receptions, 1100-1300 
                yards, and 10-14 touchdowns. JS: Owens' deal expires following the 2008 season. The Cowboys 
                can also release him following the upcoming year without facing 
                much of a hit against the cap should his attitude get out of line. 
                At almost 35-years of age, the future Hall of Famer will certainly 
                be near the end of his career when he becomes a free agent again. 
                He may choose to retire, but if not he cold remain a productive 
                fantasy receiver well into his older years. 16. Deion Branch, SEALTV: A 2002 draft pick, Branch 
                has 5 years experience in the NFL, but is yet to record 1000 yards 
                in a season. He spent his first four years in New England, posting 
                998 yards in 2005 before holding out and forcing a trade that 
                placed him in Seattle. Branch didn't become a member of the Seahawks 
                until after the second week, but he still managed 53 receptions, 
                for 725 yards, and 4 touchdowns in 14 games. With Darrell Jackson 
                traded to the 49ers in the off-season, he now becomes the featured 
                receiver of the Seahawks offense. The sixth year vet should prove 
                capable of matching Jackson's production from when he totaled 
                1100-1200 yards and 7-9 touchdowns a year.
 STV: Branch played in more of a spread attack while a member 
                of the Patriots, which contributed to his limited level of production 
                while a member of the team. This will be his first season in which 
                he is clearly labeled the lead receiver. Based on his production 
                as he became more accustomed to the Seahawks offense last year, 
                Branch could very possibly reach career highs across the board 
                in 2007. JS: The Seahawks just shipped Jackson out of town and have Branch 
                locked up through the year 2011. He'll remain a featured member 
                of the offense throughout the length of the deal. 17. Braylon Edwards, CLELTV: Edwards returned sooner than expected from a season-ending 
                knee injury in 2005 to start 15 games for Cleveland last year. 
                He finished with 60 receptions, 879 yards, and 6 touchdowns after 
                showing flashes of his potential as a rookie. Cleveland's offense 
                as a whole will need to progress in order for Edwards to get consideration 
                as a top fantasy receiver, but the potential is there and he's 
                beginning to perform as a productive number three in the meantime.
 STV: With the selection of 
                Brady Quinn in the first round of this year’s draft, a QB controversy 
                will no doubt take place in Cleveland at some point this season. 
                If the Browns turn to Quinn early on and he struggles, it may 
                limit Edwards from a breakout season in his third year, but he 
                remains a safe bet to finish with 800-1000 yards and 5-7 touchdowns. JS: Edwards' contract with the Browns expires after the 2009 
                season. If the team fails to move in a positive direction over 
                the next two years, the former Michigan standout may look to sign 
                with a contender once he becomes a free agent. 18. T. J. Houshmanzadeh, CINLTV: Houshmanzadeh signed a 3-year deal through 2008. With Chad 
                Johnson in the midst of his multi-year contract with the team, 
                it will be interesting to see if Cincinnati pays to keep the tandem 
                together. After falling just shy of 1000 yards in each of the 
                two prior seasons, Houshmanzadeh caught 90 receptions, for 1081 
                yards and 9 touchdowns in 2006. Expect two more seasons of similar 
                production while he remains a Bengal. If he leaves via free agency 
                afterwards, much of his value may depend on where he signs.
 STV: Houshmanzadeh had a career 
                year for himself and is likely to follow it up with more of the 
                same while teamed with Carson Palmer and Chad Johnson. It would 
                be a good thing for his fantasy owners if he signs an extension 
                before becoming a free agent in 2009 and remains a member of the 
                Bengals potent offense. JS: With only two years left on his current deal, Houshmanzadeh's 
                production during that time will go a long way in deciding his 
                value as a free agent. If the Bengals feel they can replace him, 
                they may opt to go with a younger, less expensive option rather 
                than resign him. 19. Chris Chambers, MIALTV: Chambers is coming off what was possibly his worst season 
                since entering the league. Following a career year for himself 
                in 2005, the seven-year vet followed it up with a career low 677 
                receiving yards in 2006. New head coach Cam Cameron is all ready 
                working on ways to correct the issues that led to the drop-off 
                in production for Chambers last season. Expect the Wisconsin alumnus 
                to bounce back with a strong outing in the year ahead. He'll push 
                the thousand-yard mark and attempt to reach double-digit touchdowns 
                for the third time in his career.
 STV: Cameron's impression upon the offense should serve Chambers' 
                fantasy owners well. Expect him to produce like he had the three 
                seasons prior when he was a worthy number-two fantasy receiver. 
               JS: Chambers' current contract 
                keeps him in Miami until after the 2009 season. With young receivers 
                like Derek Hagan and Ted Ginn Jr. on the roster, the longtime 
                Dolphin may be playing elsewhere once the deal expires. 20. Reggie 
                Brown, PHILTV: Brown enters his third year in the league having progressed 
                nicely through his first two seasons in Philadelphia. With Donte 
                Stallworth's departure via free agency in the off-season, he now 
                assumes the role of lead receiver with the Eagles. It's too soon 
                to expect 1000 yards from Brown this season, but it's a number 
                he may begin to reach with some consistency in coming years. He's 
                also shown a penchant for the end zone, having scored 12 touchdowns 
                for the Birds during 26 starts in his young career.
 STV: Free agent signee Kevin 
                Curtis should prove a competent threat within the Eagles offense 
                and he’s capable of keeping defenders from double covering Brown 
                this season. Expect him to see a significant increase in his number 
                of receptions and a total of 850-950 yards. Seven to nine touchdowns 
                will be within range for Brown as well. JS: Brown recently signed a long-term deal with the Eagles that 
                keeps in Philadelphia until 2014. Expect him to remain a starter 
                with the franchise for much of that duration of time.
