Nfl Tickets – Fantasy: Top 5 Wide Receivers

The best fantasy football players are generally the guys who sell the most NFL tickets. Here I rank the wideouts who I think will turn in the five best fantasy performances this season.

1. Randy Moss, New England: There is no way you can’t put Moss at the top of this list considering the record-breaking season he put together last year. Tom Brady loves to go to Moss, especially with the deep ball and Randy should put up another big year. He won’t duplicate last season’s stats, but he should remain as top dog as far as fantasy pass-catchers go.

2. Terrell Owens, Dallas: Normally you’d expect a 34-year-old receiver to begin a steady decline in his production, but T.O. isn’t normal. The guy is a physical specimen and might be in better shape than anyone else in the NFL. He’s part of one of the most potent offenses in the league and has a quarterback in Tony Romo that loves to get him the ball. He’s a touchdown machine and there’s no reason to think he’s going to slow down just yet. Even superhuman T.O. will get old someday, but I don’t see it happening this season. Get your popcorn ready and get some NFL tickets to see this guy play.

3. Braylon Edwards, Cleveland: Braylon is one of the most talented wide receivers in the league, and showed that in his breakout campaign in 2007. He’s Derek Anderson’s go-to guy and there’s no reason to think that he won’t build on last season’s performance. He’s got an incredible combination of size, speed, route running, hands and work ethic. He’s got what it takes to be one of the greats. If Derek Anderson is the real deal, Braylon will not disappoint.

4. Larry Fitzgerald, Arizona: I’d put him higher if the quarterback situation in Arizona was on more solid ground. Leinart doesn’t have the best arm strength and Kurt Warner is 86 years old. Fitzgerald is one of the best receivers in the game and should put up great yardage numbers, but he needs to find the end zone more often.

5. Andre Johnson, Houston: When this guy is healthy, it’s scary how good he is. I’ve never seen a guy of his size and strength that is as fast as he is. QB Matt Shaub loves to go to him and there isn’t a corner in the league that can shut down Johnson. Expect big things if he stays on the field.

I’d also keep an eye out for resurgent years from Torry Holt and Steve Smith. These receivers make spectacular catches on a weekly basis that have fans clamoring to get NFL tickets.
