1. Calvin Johnson Det - Megatron was the top fantasy football WR in 2011 (254 points) and won’t be relinquishing that title anytime soon.

2. Andre Johnson Hou - If the injury bug doesn’t reel its ugly head again, expect Johnson to once again emerge as top threat week in and week out.

3. Larry Fitzgerald Arz - The QB situation is the only thing holding him back from topping this list.

4. Greg Jennings GB – The top receiving threat playing with the top QB will lead to 1,300 yards and double digit TDs. Needs to stay healthy.

5. Roddy White Atl - With the projected development of Julio Jones, expect White to see less double coverage and thrive.

6. Hakeem Nicks NYG – The Giants top outside threat is coming off a broken foot in mini camp. He appears to be ahead of schedule and will once again be Eli Manning’s top receiving threat.

7. Mike Wallace Pit – The holdout is concerning, but when he comes back, which will be Week 1, he’ll once again be a top threat. No. 1 deep threat in the league.

8. Wes Welker NE - In a PPR league, Welker could end up top 5.  Brady loves him, and Brandon Lloyd’s outside presence could release coverage underneath.

9. AJ Green Cin – People are very high on Green. He’s the Bengals top receiving threat and should only get better with experience. Look for 1200 yards and 10 TDs.

10. Victor Cruz NYG – The most dangerous receiver in the slot, who also has big-time play making ability. Expect another 75-85 catch season with 1200 yards and double digit TDs.

11. Julio Jones ATL – He could be poised to take a big jump into the top 5 by year end, but it’ll be tough to distribute balls in Atlanta. Regardless, look for a breakout season from the 2nd year man from Alabama.

12. Brandon Marshall Chi – He’s reuniting with Jay Cutler and the duo should put up big-time numbers like they did in Denver.

13. Dez Bryant Dal – There’s no denying his talent, it’s his mental makeup and off field issues which concern us. If he can keep those the off field issues under control, Bryant will finish a top 10 fantasy receiver.

14. Steve Smith Car - Cam Newton revitalized his career and he’s a borderline No. 1 fantasy receiver right back.

15. Jordy Nelson GB - 15 TDs in 2011 is hard not to notice. He’ll see that number come down in 2012, with between 10-12 TDs.

16. Miles Austin Dal – He was a clear No. 1 until an injury marred 2011 season. Needs to stay healthy to emerge as a No. 1 once again.

17. Brandon Lloyd NE - New England lacked a deep threat so they went out and brought in Lloyd. Tom Brady will hit him deep on multiple occasions.

18. Vincent Jackson TB – Josh Freeman can sling it and Jackson will provide the outside threat the team was lacking a year ago.

19. Marques Colston NO - He’s never the sexy pick, but he gets things done. He’s a solid No. 2 in fantasy football.

20. Jeremy Maclin Phi – The entire Eagles squad, outside of Lesean McCoy, struggled last year. He starts as a No. 2 receiver who could end up a No. 1 producer in fantasy.

21. Demaryius Thomas Den – Peyton Manning instantly raises his stock. Thomas is capable of a double digit TD season with Manning at the helm.

22. Percy Harvin Min – He’s a bit of an enigma, but the Vikings will rely on him heavily while they wait for Adrian Peterson to get healthy.

23. Stevie Johnson Buf – The Bills love to air it out and Johnson is the beneficiary of a lot of those passes.

24. Dwayne Bowe KC – Doesn’t seem happy in KC but could be playing to get out, which is good for fantasy owners. Bowe will want to put up solid numbers for a bigger payday.

25. Antonio Brown Pit – Ben Roethlisberger loves throwing his way and with Hines Ward retired, expect more mid range passes for Brown.

1. Andre Johnson - The Titans pass D isn’t too shabby either. Johnson typically posts big numbers vs. Tennessee and is the top ranked fantasy football WR in Week 12.

2. Reggie Wayne - It’ll be an old fashioned shootout in Indy this Sunday.

3. Greg Jennings - His excellent Week 10 performance (3 TDs) will carry over vs. Atlanta.

4. Roddy White - Look for a 100 yards and a TD at home.

Next In Line

DeSean Jackson – The Bears have no one who can stay with him.

Mike Wallace - Roethlisberger’s favorite deep threat will get deep again against the Bills.

Dwayne Bowe – The hottest receiver in the league will continue that trend against the Seahawks.

Rounding Out the List

Marques Colston – Look for a big time performance on Thanksgiving.

Calvin Johnson – The Patriots proved last Sunday that they’re still vulnerable in the passing game.

Jeremy Maclin - He’ll be solid in PPR leagues and could take a long one to the house in Chicago.

Sidney Rice – Too little too late for Minnesota but the Skins are depleted in the secondary.

Larry Fitzgerald - The Niners pass D is horrible.

Anquan Boldin – He’ll get deep and have a solid afternoon against the out of nowhere 7-3 Bucs.

Brandon Lloyd - The Broncos passing game is more on point at home.

Miles Austin - He and Jon Kitna are beginning to make plays and find the end zone.

Wes Welker - He’ll be good for his 7-9 catches and a TD.

Santonio Holmes - This offseason acquisition is paying big dividends at the moment.

Chad Ochocinco - Darrelle Revis will be working T.O.’s side of the field.

Randy Moss - If Houston shuts him down, it may be time to call it a (fantasy) career.

Dez Bryant - Look for the standout rookie to make a big splash on Thanksgiving Day.

Fantasy Sleeper of the Week

Steve Johnson – Not much of a fantasy sleeper anymore, but the Steelers present a tough matchup on Sunday. However, except the suddenly high flying Bills to focus on Johnson who will put up over 100 yards and a TD vs. the Steelers.



1. Roddy White – This week’s top fantasy football WR will have a field day against the Rams

2. Calvin Johnson - Megatron does just fine with Shaun Hill behind center. Dallas secondary is also banged up.

3. Hakeem Nicks - The Giants top threat will be used to an even greater extent in Philly.

4. DeSean Jackson - His speed has presented problems for the Giants in the past.

Next In Line

Dwayne Bowe - He’s coming off a monster fantasy performance (13 rec, 186 yards, 2 TDs) and facing a suspect Cardinals D.

Larry Fitzgerald - The Chiefs secondary looked horrible vs. the Broncos. Not a good sign facing Fitz.

Greg Jennings - He’s well rested after the bye and will get deep at least once on Sunday.

Rounding Out the List

Braylon Edwards - The Texans pass D is worst in the league. Look for No. 17 to get deep.

Dez Bryant - The Cowboys rising Superstar will run circles around the Lions DBs

Miles Austin - He’ll have a solid game working the middle of the field.

Terrell Owens - Alligator arms hurt his production vs. Indy. He’ll exact revenge on his former club this week.

Reggie Wayne - His number will be called plenty in New England.

Mike Wallace - The speedster will break free for at least one long TD vs. the Raiders

Santonio Holmes - A very impressive 37 yard GW TD in OT. He’ll post big numbers against the Texans in Week 11.

Marques Colston - The Seahawks have no one that can cover him.

Jeremy Maclin - The attention paid towards DeSean Jackson will open up opportunities for Maclin.

Mario Manningham - Eli’s new No. 2 will top 100 yards with a score.

Percy Harvin - Expect another big game out of No. 12. Sidney Rice’s presence would open up further opportunities for him.

Anquan Boldin - Passing against the Panthers has been an easy thing to come by in 2010.

Wes Welker – Brady will use the middle of the field extensively against the Colts.

Brandon Lloyd - The Chargers secondary is vulnerable to the deep ball. Lloyd’s played out of his mind in ’10.

Fantasy Sleeper of the Week

Jacoby Ford – Ford came out of nowhere to steal the show two week ago vs. the Chiefs. We’re rolling the dice again against a Steelers secondary with holes in it. Look for Campbell to target Ford and he’s a good fantasy sleeper on Sunday.

1. Andre Johnson - He’ll get back on track and torch the Jaguars for over 125 yards and a TD. He’s the top ranked fantasy football WR in Week 10.

2. Hakeem Nicks – The 2nd year star is posting huge numbers and has a favorable matchup vs Dallas.

3. Roddy White - He appears to have escaped a knee injury in Week 9 and now faces an aging Ravens set of CBs on Thursday Night. He’ll top 100 yards with a TD.

4. Calvin Johnson – Look for Megatron to get back on track against the hapless Bills. He’ll torch this secondary.

Next in Line

Reggie Wayne – Peyton Manning’s favorite target will be the focal point on Sunday.

Terrell Owens - The 36 year-old is having a big year in fantasy football (7 TDs in past 5 games). He’ll light up the Colts.

DeSean Jackson - Vick’s favorite target will find the end zone again on Monday Night. The Skins DBs can’t stay with him deep.

Rounding Out the List

Wes Welker – Tom Brady will hit Welker between 8-10 times on Sunday Night.

Randy Moss - The new start in Tennessee should pay immediate dividends with a long TD against the Fish.

Brandon Marshall – The Titans are vulnerable to the deep ball. Marshall will haul in a long TD on Sunday.

Mike Wallace – The Patriots DBs lack top speed which is where Wallace excels. He’ll be targeted heavily on playaction this week.

Anquan Boldin - The Falcons passing game hasn’t stopped anyone since CB Dunta Robinson got hurt vs. Philly. Boldin will top 100 yards with a score on Thursday.

Larry Fitzgerald - Derek Anderson will locate his star receiver all afternoon against an overmatched set of Seahwaks’ DBs.

Steve Smith (NYG) - Eli Manning is spreading the ball all around and Smith will notch over 7 catches with a score.

Percy Harvin – Brett Favre’s top target is a menace over the middle of the field. He’ll torch the Bears on Sunday.

Mike Sims-Walker – The Texans feature one of the worst pass D’s in the game. Start him.

Dwayne Bowe - He’s become a TD machine the past month and will beat Denver for another one in Week 10.

Brandon Lloyd – The long offensive bright spot for the Broncos has been Lloyd. He’ll top 100 yards on Sunday.

Fantasy Sleeper of the Week

Santonio Holmes – He’s finally becoming more comfortable in the Jets offense. Look for another big afternoon against a team he’s familiar with. Holmes is a solid fantasy sleeper who will find the end zone in Week 10.
