[Jun 6th] Andrew Garda says: Even if Calvin Johnson falls short of matching the 1,964 yards he got in 2012, he's still going to be getting more targets than anyone else in this offense and can produce with them. If only the team can find a way to get his touchdowns back up, Johnson could be the best fantasy receiver to ever play the game. I expect his touchdowns to pick back up and top the paltry five he had last year. That's great news for those willing to go wide receiver at the top of the draft. (hide this)

[Jun 10th] Andrew Garda says: Harvin was unhappy in Minnesota, so they finally gave him what he wanted — a ticket elsewhere. The Vikes got peace of mind while the Seahawks gained a talented, but somewhat volatile player who is deadly with the ball in his hands. Russell Wilson managed to make Golden Tate and Sidney Rice dangerous receivers, so it's exciting to think about what he can accomplish with a guy like Harvin. Harvin was hurt last season, but the injury issues shouldn't carry over. Really, the only thing which can stop Harvin is Harvin. (hide this)

[Jun 9th] Andrew Garda says: After a healthy 16 games and the arrival of Peyton Manning, Thomas is a star in the making. The arrival of Wes Welker shouldn't do anything to dim this star either and should make Thomas' life easier as he attracts attention away from Thomas (and Eric Decker). It's a great sign that Thomas and the others worked out with Manning early on, and it makes me confident that he can produce even better numbers in 2013. (hide this)

[Jun 9th] Andrew Garda says: For a while last season, the Texans seemed to have forgotten they had one of the best wide receivers in the game on their team. It eventually evened out. Johnson got his targets and ended up the sixth most productive fantasy wide receiver in many leagues. Johnson has to contend with Arian Foster, who the Texans began to lean on more last year, as well as Matt Schaub's general inconsistency. Still, Johnson is one of the best and he'll get his. The biggest issue owners have to worry about is his lack of touchdowns over the past two years. Hopefully that will change a bit but as long as Foster is a beast in the red zone, AJ will always be a bit short. (hide this)

[Jun 8th] Andrew Garda says: In 2012, Marshall returned to being Jay Cutler's favorite target. Some days it seemed as if he was the only target. Head coach Marc Trestman's speedy offense should allow the Bears to take advantage of defenses being unable to shift the right coverage to Marshall, which will expose them to some big gains and lots of fantasy points. (hide this)

[Jun 10th] Andrew Garda says: Cobb is an insanely talented athlete who, in just his second season, emerged as a player the Packers had to have on the field for virtually every snap. On the downside, Cobb is a little bit over-hyped right now and will be very difficult to get at a good value. Amassing more than 1,000 total yards, Cobb proved he could get the job done and will likely be regarded as the No. 2 receiver in Green Bay, just behind Jordy Nelson. The Packers got the ball into Cobb's hands in a variety of ways, including direct snaps, reverses, short passes and deep throws. They'll do that all season long again in 2013. (hide this)

[Jun 10th] Andrew Garda says: Roddy White keeps saying he's going to take a backseat to Julio Jones and that his numbers will come down. Yet, he's had back-to-back seasons where he topped 1,200 yards total and six seasons in a row, he's caught over 1,000 yards. Matt Ryan can throw the ball to either Jones or White and defenses really can't do much about it. At some point White will slip a bit, though it's clear he still has the desire and ability to be a great receiver. (hide this)

[Jun 10th] Andrew Garda says: Johnson has had three straight 1,000 yard seasons—really impressive considering how bad the quarterback play has been and the complete lack of talent across from him. The Bills have addressed both needs, or so they hope. They brought in Kevin Kolb and drafted EJ Manuel in the hopes of finally finding consistent play under center. They also drafted Robert Woods and Marquise Goodwin to pull the secondary off Johnson and give him room to move. If that happens, the decreasing touchdown numbers should rise back up. At the very least, you will certainly get another 1,000-yard season out of Johnson. (hide this)

[Jun 10th] Andrew Garda says: After way too many years with Matt Cassel as quarterback, Dwayne Bowe's life just got much easier. While Alex Smith isn't Joe Montana (even the aging Joe Montana the Chiefs got way back when), he's a solid player who has turned the corner over the last two years and can deliver the ball to a player of Bowe's quality. Bowe is now going to have a competent quarterback throwing him the ball—and is out of excuses for why he's not reaching his potential. You can bet that Smith and new head coach Andy Reid are looking for ways to get the ball into Bowe's hands. Bowe finally seems to have stopped being his own worst enemy and is in an offense which is geared to get him the ball. He should have a great year in Kansas City. (hide this)

[Jun 10th] Andrew Garda says: Despite some seasons where he was banged up, Marques Colston has had 1,000 yards six of the last seven seasons, including the last four in a row. Clearly one of quarterback Drew Brees' favorite targets Coltson is also his most reliable and has caught 63 percent of the balls thrown his way. Last season, Colston had the second highest yardage and touchdown totals of his career. Brees and the Saints offense should look much better this year with head coach Sean Payton back full time. (hide this)

[Jun 10th] Andrew Garda says: Smith is going from having a good veteran to pull coverage away from him (with the departure of Anquan Boldin), to being the top guy in the wide receiver corps. How he handles that will have a tremendous impact on his fantasy value. There is legitimate concern for owners as he was inconsistent during the course of last season, though his overall numbers ended up looking good. Smith has the speed to stretch the field and quarterback Joe Flacco has the arm to take advantage of it—but both need to produce on a less streaky basis to reach their potential. Smith is a marginal No. 1 fantasy wide receiver, but a very solid No. 2. (hide this)

[Jun 6th] Andrew Garda says: Austin is a very special player and will very quickly become Sam Bradford's favorite weapon. While Austin isn't Calvin Johnson, he's deadly after the catch and will gain a ton of his yards there. Don't let size worry you. As a side note: the most interesting thing when looking at Austin-Bailey-Geno Smith is asking "who made who?" While I like Smith, the more I look at West Virginia games the more I think Austin and Bailey made Smith look better than he made them look. Expect the same in St Louis. (hide this)

[Jun 10th] Andrew Garda says: Jennings had a rough year in 2012, losing a ton of time due to injury and his top spot in the offense to a bunch of youngsters. Still wanting to be a No. 1 receiver (and get paid like it), he signed onto the Packers' hated rivals, the Minnesota Vikings. While his best days are clearly behind him and he remains an injury risk, Jennings provides a more consistent vertical threat than Jerome Simpson did last season. Of course, the question remains as to whether or not quarterback Christian Ponder can take advantage of a true vertical threat. If he can—and Jennings stays off the trainer's table—Jennings' value outstrips where you can draft him. (hide this)

[Jun 10th] Andrew Garda says: Feeling unappreciated by the New England Patriots, Wes Welker took his talents to the Mile High City, moving from one tremendous quarterback to another. Peyton Manning had two 1,000 yard receivers last season in Eric Decker and Demaryius Thomas, and he throws the ball a lot. He'll find a reliable target in Welker (Super Bowl gaffes notwithstanding), and while Wes won't see the number of targets he did with Brady and the Patriots (over a hundred every year with the team and nearly 200 each of the last two seasons), he will see a significant amount. Welker will work out of the slot, and should find a lot of room to cause chaos as he has two very good receivers to draw coverage. Teams will have to pick their poison when it comes to Welker, Thomas and Decker, and there is no good choice in that bunch. Expect a bit of a regression in his numbers versus the last two years, but overall Welker is poised to have yet another great fantasy season. (hide this)

[Jun 10th] Andrew Garda says: After struggling in 2011, Williams bounced back in 2012 and really benefited from having Vincent Jackson as the primary receiver. Williams did a fantastic job using his body to make tough catches and was able to pull down a few for touchdowns. Quarterback Josh Freeman looks for him a ton in the red zone and that will continue this year. Next to Jackson and second-year back Doug Martin, Williams is the most critical factor to Freeman's success. (hide this)

[Jun 6th] Andrew Garda says: Hilton was a huge surprise last year. A small school prospect who everyone felt needed a couple of years to get acclimated, Hilton turned that on its' ear. On just 50 receptions, Hilton scored seven times and topped 100 yards five times. While Hilton has a ways to go before unseating Reggie Wayne, I don't see Darius Heyward-Bey as a real threat so Hilton should see no reduction in touches. He is a very versatile player and has Andrew Luck's trust and that will go a long way to getting him catches this year. (hide this)

[Jun 10th] Andrew Garda says: In a point per reception league, I'd see Amendola higher on this list, but for a plain old regular fantasy league, I'm less excited. That's not to say I think he'll do poorly, but it's the difference of a good 80 or 90 catches worth of points. Still, Amendola will replace Wes Welker as Tom Brady's safety net and should see north of 1,000 yards. Less certain are his touchdowns. More than likely they will go to the backfield or the tight ends, though if the injury issues continue there, Amendola will see his chances rise. The other issue is Amendola's propensity for injury, particularly freaky ones like the collarbone dislocation last season. He has the ability, but it won't do anyone any good if he can't stay on the field. (hide this)

[Jun 6th] Andrew Garda says: Last season Josh Gordon had a lot to prove and he more than lived up to the hype, quickly becoming someone rookie quarterback Brandon Weeden could trust. He's going to have to prove himself again to a new coaching staff, and the big question is whether Weeden will be "the guy" this coming season or if Gordon will have to also learn how to work with a new quarterback as well as a new system. It shouldn't matter too much for Gordon, as he will be a big part of this offense either way, but it could affect his numbers at the end of the season. (hide this)

[Jun 10th] Andrew Garda says: Reggie Wayne had just a little more gas left in the tank than people expected, didn't he? Emerging as Andrew Luck's best and—by far—favorite target in 2012, there's not much chance that changes this season. T.Y. Hilton should continue to play well, as should tight ends Dwayne Allen and Coby Fleener, but ultimately there isn't much competition for Wayne. He's the veteran Luck trusts to get the job done. Wayne will get you yards, no doubt about it, but what he won't get you is touchdowns. In his 12-year career he has only scored 10 or more touchdowns three times, and that doesn't seem poised to change as Luck seems to spread his touchdowns around. (hide this)

[Jun 6th] Andrew Garda says: Sidney Rice finally had a healthy and productive season as well as a real quarterback, and now he has to take a step back for Percy Harvin. And make no mistake, it will be a severe step back. Expect Rice to be a productive third wide receiver and a hit or miss No. 2 for your fantasy teams, but don't expect another 1,000-yard season unless Harvin gets hurt—which, let's face it, isn't outside the realm of possibility. (hide this)

[Jun 6th] Andrew Garda says: Shorts had a huge 2012, especially considering the disaster which was the Jacksonville offense. Now that Justin Blackmon has been suspended for the first four games of the upcoming season, Shorts is going to be thrust into a bigger than anticipated role. Don't get too carried away because teams will not overlook Shorts this year the way they may have last year. While he will have a great year, expect some up and down spots. (hide this)
