Cream of the Crop:
chad johnson vs marvin harrison vs torry holt

#1 WR borderline #2
boldin vs evans vs houshmandzadeh

middle rounders
braylon edwards vs vincent jackson vs D.J. Hackett

late rounders
gregg jennings vs santonio holmes vs jerry porter

Holt/Housh/Hackett/Holmes

That's a lot of H's

Thanks...Just out of curiosity, what round should I look at drafting each of the categories?

Fitzgerald not even mentioned?
Moss should get touchdowns aplenty this season, they are worth more points than yardage.

I'm not saying these are the only players that are going to do well this year by any means, but they are more or less the players I am highly interested in drafting at some point

Holt you should look at around rounds 4-5, depending on the stats your league keeps. Personal rule of thumb: once the run on receivers start, make sure you take him somewhere in the middle of the rush.

Housh (a personal fave) I've drafted early in the past three drafts. Because receivers are easy to find later on, he's usually my #1 receiver on my teams. Rounds 5-7 are where I draft him but, remember, I draft him early.

Hackett may go early thanks to his success last season but if he's around when it comes to taking your third receiver, pounce on him. He's going to have a big year in Seattle.

Holmes is an end-of-draft flier.

Don't take advice from this guy! He drafts Brady in the first round! And hasn't won a single RealGM Fantasy Football pool yet

(Not that I have either...)

:D

Johnson - Younger and palmer is a year removed from surgery

Evans - Toss up between he and Boldin

Jackson - My gut was Edwards, but I hate the CLE QB situation...

Holmes - easy choice

The year I drafted Brady, I had the #10 pick and he outperformed (fantasy-wise) all the RBs taken after him.


That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
