In my previous post I dived into the premiere Quarterbacks of 2010, and in now we'll look into what wideouts will be helping them torch those defensive units:
Andre Johnson
Andre Johnson has been the best Wide Receiver in the NFL the past two seasons, putting up over 1,500 yards and 8 touchdowns both years. He is part of a passing game that was #1 in the league last year, and #4 in overall offense. He is a game changer and a top fantasy pick in any draft. Dont' expect him to slow down this year as his speed and hands give him the ability to be a huge problem for any team he plays.
Miles Austin
Miles Austin had a breakout season last year as he accumulated over 1,300 yards and 11 touchdowns.His big play ability, talent for coming down with the ball, and knack for getting big yards after the catch makes him a significant part of the Cowboys offense. If he keeps progressing at this rate, he could easily become a star Wide Receiver in the NFL.
Reggie Wayne
Reggie Wayne has had over 1,000 yards every season since 2004 and does not look to be slowing up any time soon. His rise to #1 WR in the Colt's pass heavy offense has lead him to be double covered often, though the emergence of Piere Garcon last year managed to draw some coverage off of him. Perhaps with the return of WR Anthony Gonzalez (the #2 WR before being injured last year), will continue to make the defense spread themselves out a little more, further opening his route running. Wes Welker
Wes Welker had the most receptions in the NFL last year, and the second most yards. He has had over 1,000 yards the past 3 seasons and his a consistently productive wide out. He has the ability to get open and create plays after the catch. While he is used in the Patriots most often as a check down Wide Receiver, he is still as dangerous as any other receiver in the game.
Brandon Marshall
Brandon Marshall is one of the most dynamic wide outs in the NFL, and his troubles with Denver shouldn't take away from that. When he moved to Miami, he moved to a run first, run heavy team with a still adjusting, just out of rookie status Quarter Back. But don't write Marshall off, for a number of reasons. For one, he is the kind of receiver that can go up and get a pass and bring it down, regardless of if it's perfect or not. Also, with the run heavy style Miami offense, defenses will be balances enough from ground threats so that Marshall will have the opportunity to get open and wreck havoc.
