The 2009 Fantasy Football season is stocked with talent at the wide receiver position. That being said, do not and I repeat do not consider drafting one in the first round. No wide receiver warrants first round consideration. I know some of you out there think Larry Fitzgerald is god, but he will come crashing down to earth if his 38 year geriatric QB gets hurt. Wide receivers are just too risky to take early mainly because they rely on someone else to get them the ball. In my estimation there are about 30 wide outs that will be strong contributors this year.
Here are my top 12 wide receivers including their 2008 stats:
1. Larry Fitzgerald: 96 catches, 1431 yards, 12 TD’s
2. Calvin Johnson: 78 catches, 1331 yards, 12TD’s
3. Randy Moss: 69 catches, 1008 yards, 11 TD’s
4. Andre Johnson: 115 catches, 1575 yards, 8 TD’s
5. Steve Smith: 78 catches, 1421 yards, 6 TD’s
6. Greg Jennings: 80 catches, 1292 yards, 9 TD’s
7. Reggie Wayne: 82 catches, 1145 yards, 6 TD’s
8. Anquan Boldin: 89 catches, 1038 yards, 11 TD’s
9. Roddy White: 88 catches, 1382 yards, 7 TD’s
10. Dwayne Bowe: 86 catches 1086 catches, 1022 yards, 7 TD’s
11. Terrell Owens: 69 catches, 1052 yards, 10 TD’s
12. Marques Colston: 47 catches, 760 yards, 5 TD’s
A few that just missed the cut:
Brandon Marshall: 104 catches, 1265 yards, 6 TD’s
Wes Welker: 111 catches, 1165 yards, 3 TD’s
T. J. Houshmandzadeh: 92 catches, 904 yards, 4 TD’s
Anthony Gonzalez: 57 catches, 664 yards, 4 TD’s
Vincent Jackson: 59 catches, 1098 yards, 7 TD’s

I'm pretty much in agreement with these rankings, though Boldin scares me because of his contract and style of play, which leads to injuries. I'd probably pick Roddy White over him. Maybe Colston too.
