Over the past few football seasons, so many different wide receivers have either come out of nowhere, or had a severe drop in their expected production. While there is a class of wide receivers in the game today that do what they are expected to, there are so many others whose numbers fluctuate from year to year.
Here are the top 50 WR's in fantasy football:
1. Randy Moss NE
2. Terrell Owens DAL
3. Steve Smith CAR
4. Reggie Wayne IND
5. Braylon Edwards CLE
6. Andre Johnson HOU
7. Marques Colston NO
8. Torry Holt STL
9. T.J. Houshmanzadeh CIN
10. Larry Fitzgerald ARZ
11. Anquan Boldin ARZ
12. Wes Welker NE
13. Brandon Marshall DEN
14. Plaxico Burress NYG
15. Chad Johnson CIN
16. Marvin Harrison IND
17. Roy Williams DET
18. Lee Evans BUF
19. Santonio Holmes PIT
20. Chris Chambers SD
21. Kevin Curtis PHI
22. Greg Jennings GB
23. Calvin Johnson DET
24. Roddy White ATL
25. Javon Walker OAK
26. Jerricho Cotchery NYJ
27. Bobby Engram SEA
28. Dwayne Bowe KC
29. Joey Galloway TB
30. Hines Ward PIT
31. Laveranues Coles NYJ
32. Derrick Mason BAL
33. Jerry Porter JAX
34. Donald Driver GB
35. Santana Moss WSH
36. Bernard Berrian MIN
37. Patrick Crayton DAL
38. Anthony Gonzalez IND
39. Donte' Stallworth CLE
40. Reggie Brown PHI
41. Nate Burleson SEA
42. Isaac Bruce SF
43. Drew Bennett STL
44. Reggie Williams JAX
45. Roydell Williams TEN
46. Ted Ginn Jr. MIA
47. D.J. Hackett CAR
48. David Patten/Robert Meachem NO
49. Kevin Walter HOU
50. Devin Hester CHI
Though another record-breaking season is probably not on the horizon, expect Randy Moss to put up staggering numbers again, as the loss of Dante' Stallworth (who will be a viable option in Cleveland) means Brady must throw to Moss and Wes Welker even more.
Panthers WR Steve Smith is not listed on too many analysts top 3 in WR. I have him here because i think this will be the year things finally click on offense in Carolina. Jake Delhomme has been throwing well and seems to be recovered from Tommy John surgery. The O-line has always been solid in Carolina and with Jonathan Stewart and Deangelo Williams in the backfield, there should be some punch in the running game.
2 receivers have seen changes in personnel that will benefit their performance. Marques Colston has seen the addition of TE Jeremy Shockey, that will help him stay away from double teams. Colston got off to a slow start last season and then was the number 1 fantasy receiver in the last 9 weeks of the year. Expect much of the same, perhaps even more from Colston with Shockey helping him out. Also, Bills receiver Lee Evans received some help with a change in the coaching staff. Bills Offensive Coordinator Turk Schonert has made it clear he wants to get the ball into the hands of Evans. Towards the end of the year, Evans and QB Trent Edwards, created an on-field connection, resulting in some good games for Evans. In addition, rookie WR James Hardy can show his talent and take some double teams away from Evans. It seems even in a division with the defending AFC champion Patriots, the Bills have a lot of swagger for a .500 team.
2 other receivers likely to see a drop in their production are both Green Bay Packers wideouts Greg Jennings and Donald Driver. Brett Favre loved throwing to these guys and won't be around to do that anymore. It's time for Aaron Rodgers to show what he is made of over a full season and I am not confident he will produce too much. Rodgers will most likely lean more on RB Ryan Grant for support and that may cause for some more touches to go his way, as opposed to Jennings and Driver.
Here are 3 receivers to watch in the upcoming season:
Devin Hester CHI- Hester is number 50 on my list and I can see him really shining as a receiver this season. Hester's speed makes him one of the scariest players on the field, no matter the situation. With no real QB in Chicago, there may be some desperate times, and desperate times call for desperate measures. Especially if Rex Grossman wins the QB battle, look for a lot of deep passes to go Hester's way. In the off-season, he has worked on his route running and his hands and has formed a relationship with both quarterbacks. Keep an eye on Hester and try to snag him as your last receiver.
Jerry Porter JAX- 2 things come to mind when I hear the name Jerry Porter; Loads of talent, tons of issues. Porter was so unhappy in Oakland that he didn't even try to play in games. Does that remind you of anyone? (Hint: It rhymes with Candy Toss) Porter goes to a team with an efficient QB in David Garrard who can throw the ball to Porter in any way. With the explosive running game in Jacksonville keeping defenses honest, look for a happy Porter to help both his team and fantasy teams across the country.
Terry Glenn DAL-Now it could be possible that Glenn doesn't even get a chance to start this season, but here is why you should keep track of him. Jerry Jones doesn't want to let Glenn play until he has an insurance clause on Glenn's knee so that if something goes wrong, Glenn doesn't make all of his money. At this point, Glenn has refused to sign anything but if in danger of not getting the chance to play in Dallas this season. If he signs that release, Glenn could return to his 2006-2007 form, which would put him in the top 50 WR easily. Keep track of the Glenn situation in Dallas and if he starts to get into workouts and such, grab him when you can.

And the whole Porter situation is similar to Moss', but make no mistake, Garrard is not Brady, Del Rio is not Belechick, and Porter is not Moss, so talent-wise and surrounding talent is a big difference. And I for one, don't expect Garrard to play as well as he did last year, that's just me though
