Every fantasy football season there are a few wide receivers that get chosen in the middle and late rounds of fantasy drafts that produce far beyond their expectations. Marques Colston's performance last season is a great example of this, and he wasn't even drafted in many fantasy football leagues. Who's going to step up to the next level this year at WR and TE?
Lee Evans had 82 catches for 1290 yards (265 in one game) and 8 TDs last year, and will almost certainly still be available in the middle rounds of your fantasy draft. Braylon Edwards has tons of potential and could break out this year with some consistent play from the Browns QBs. If Donovan McNabb can stay healthy Reggie Brown's stats could take a nice jump. Donte' Stallworth is gone, so Brown will see a lot of passes coming his way. Both Edwards and Brown are entering their third season - which is usually when WRs start to hit their stride in the NFL. Jerricho Cotchery put up some nice numbers (82 catches, 961 yards, and 6 TDs) last year, and could even pass Lavernues Coles as the Jets #1 receiving target. Calvin Johnson is entering his rookie season, but is 6-5 with incredible athleticism. Playing in an offense run by Mike Martz means lots of yards through the air, and Johnson will get his share. He caught both passes thrown his way in the Lions preseason opener - a preview of things to come.
