Sandman's Individual Cheat Sheets

Quarterbacks | Running Backs | Wide Receivers | Tight Ends | Kickers | Team Defenses


 

Rank Player Name Comments
1 Steve Smith

The Panthers No.1 receiver always but up solid numbers.

2 Marvin Harrison

Mr. Consistency. You can count on 1,400 yards and 12 touchdowns.

3 Larry Fitzgerald

Fitzgerald will be the main beneficiary of a solid running game.

4 Chad Johnson

A star has been born in Cincinnati. His numbers will only get better as Carson Palmer's growth continues.

5 Terrell Owens

In Philly Owens was the only option but in Big D he will have to share receptions with Terry Glenn.

6 Torry Holt

Ram's offensive balance won’t be so tilted towards the pass but Holt will still have a solid season.

7 Chris Chambers

Chambers will become a star with Daunte Culpepper as his quarterback.

8 Anquan Boldin

Rookie of Year in 2003 will be forgotten by most owners so he won't go this high in the draft.

9 Santana Moss

First half numbers were ridiculous but in the second half he had only one game with over 100 receiving yards.

10 Randy Moss

First year in Oakland was terrible. Should bounce back but Aaron Brooks isn't the most accurate passer.

11 Javon Walker

Goes from being a No.1 receiver to being a 1A.

12 Plaxico Burress

As Eli grows, so will Burress' numbers.

13 Donald Driver

Favre's number one receiver usually ends up in the top ten when the season ends.

14 Darrell Jackson

Injury bug struck Jackson last year, expect him to bounce back and match is 2004 numbers (1,200 yards and 7 touchdowns).

15 Hines Ward

Loss of Antwaan Randle-El will improve Ward's numbers.

16 Terry Glenn

Sleeper alert. Everyone will focus on Terrell Owens so Glenn should face man-to-man coverage.

17 Rod Smith

Addition of Javon Walker will allow Smith to face more man-to-man coverage.

18 Reggie Wayne

Proved that he is no longer the other receiver who starts with Marvin Harrison.

19 T.J. Houshmandzadeh

1,000 yards and 8 touchdowns is what you should expect.

20 Roy Williams

Love his talent, hate his injuries. Ranked this high because if he plays all 16 games he is a top-fifteen receiver.
