5 Wide Recievers Looking To Burn Defenses in 2010

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.

5 NFL Quarterbacks Looking To Light Up The Air In 2010

In recent years, the National Football League has been transformed into a passing based league, where aerial offenses rule where ground attacks once stood predominant. This is apparent in the statistics, as in 2009, ten quarterbacks threw for at least 4,000 yards and nineteen threw for at least 3,000 yards. Let's take a look at who should be putting up big yards in this upcoming season:

Matt Schaub

In Matt Schuab's first season playing all sixteen games, he blew the NFL to pieces, leading in passing yards with a incredible 4,770, as well as 29 touchdowns. And this was in his first full season as the Texans QB, things can only get better going forward. If he can get Tight End Owen Daniels for the entire season (as opposed to 8 games due to injury) in addition to perhaps the best WR in the league Andre Johnson, then Schaub should once again put up monster numbers

Drew Brees

 In 2008 during his way to an Superbowl win, Brees led the league in touchdowns (34) and QB rating (109.6). Brees led the #1 overall offense in the league and the 4th overall passing team in the NFL last year. Brees spreads the ball around a lot, so look for Robert Meachem, Devery Henderson and Marques Colston to be productive again this season; And with his past four seasons throwing for over 4,000 yards (and over 5,000 in 2008), Brees should be right on track to produce similar numbers this season.

Peyton Manning

In 2009, Peyton Manning was second in the league in passing yards (4,500), 3rd in touchdowns (33), and led a completely pass based team (colts were last in league rushing) to the Superbowl before falling just short of victory. Peyton Manning should continue just were he left off last year, putting up huge numbers. Also, the Colts get wide receiver Anthony Gonzales back from injury, and he will most likely contend with Austin Collie for the 3rd spot and making this rich WR corp even deeper. Manning has thrown for at least 4,000 yards in 10 of his 12 NFL seasons, and look for him to keep on producing come 2010.

Aaron Rodgers

Since replacing the legendary Brett Favre in Green Bay, Aaron Rodgers has shown he is just as capable of slinging the ball, passing for over 4,000 yards the past two seasons. Rodgers has two very reliable receivers in Greg Jennings and Donald Driver, each accumulating over 1,000 yards each (for the past two years with Rodgers). In his 3rd season as the starting quarterback, Rodgers should continue to build on his experience and timing, and put up respectable numbers for the Packers.

Tony Romo

Tony Romo passed for over 4,000 yards last year, and while it was only the second time in his career he has done so, he should be looking at a similar season this year. Romo relies heavily on his clutch tight end Jason Witten as his go to guy.Continued stable play by Patrick Crayton, and recently explosive WR Miles Austin as well as the rookie super-star Dez Bryant should help make Romo's offense more balanced and productive then ever. Romo had the best season of his career in 2009, look for him to move forward on this success in 2010.
