Year Team Receiving TDs Receiving Yards Scoring
2011 CIN 7 1057 152.00

Projected! CIN 10.00 1321.40 194.68
AJ Green sits in the top tier of fantasy wide outs. The offense around him is getting stronger which will help him avoid constant double and triple teams. Green will continue his dominance in 2013. He is a WR1 in all formats.

2011 MIA 6 1227 157.70
2012 CHI 11 1508 214.60
Projected! CHI 8.33 1331.16 181.02
Brandon Marshall enters 2013 as an elite WR option. He is even stronger in PPR formats. Chicago's offense is much the same as it was in 2012 - so look for another strong season from Marshall if he is healthy.
4
Julio Jones
Atlanta Falcons
Year Team Receiving TDs Receiving Yards Scoring
2011 ATL 8 959 148.50
2012 ATL 10 1198 182.80
Projected! ATL 10.71 1306.86 199.12
Julio Jones emerged as a top fantasy option in 2012. He is a solid WR1 and exciting option for all formats.
5
Andre Johnson
Houston Texans
Year Team Receiving TDs Receiving Yards Scoring
2011 HOU 2 492 62.00
2012 HOU 4 1598 183.80
Projected! HOU 5.90 1410.07 176.41
Andre Johnson continues to be one of the elite WRs in the NFL. He is Matt Schaub's favorite target and will reel in nearly 100 catches again this year. He is a solid WR1 and history says that you may get him at a good value based on ADP.
6
Larry Fitzgerald
Arizona Cardinals
Larry Fitzgerald
Year Team Receiving TDs Receiving Yards Scoring
2011 ARI 8 1411 189.10
2012 ARI 4 798 103.80
Projected! ARI 8.32 1185.59 168.48
Larry Fitzgerald will benefit from Carson Palmer's presence more than anyone else on the Arizona roster. Palmer has a history of favoring a target - and Fitz is the easy choice. Stronger play from the offensive line and the running game would boost Fitz
7
Victor Cruz
New York Giants
Year Team Receiving TDs Receiving Yards Scoring
2011 NYG 9 1545 207.80
2012 NYG 10 1092 169.20
Projected! NYG 9.15 1216.38 176.54
Victor Cruz signed his new deal so the distraction is over. It is back to business for the talented play maker. He should challenge for over 80 receptions and is a top flight option at WR this season.
8
Dez Bryant
Dallas Cowboys
Year Team Receiving TDs Receiving Yards Scoring
2011 DAL 9 928 144.30
2012 DAL 12 1382 204.70
Projected! DAL 10.69 1217.97 181.60

Marques Colston
New Orleans Saints
Year Team Receiving TDs Receiving Yards Scoring
2011 NO 8 1143 161.30
2012 NO 10 1154 171.40
Projected! NO 9.45 1189.13 173.05
As long as Drew Brees is slinging the ball for the Saints, Colston will remain a strong starting fantasy option. Colston's value is highest in PPR formats where fantasy owners are rewarded for his high reception volume.
10
Roddy White
Atlanta Falcons
Year Team Receiving TDs Receiving Yards Scoring
2011 ATL 8 1296 177.60
2012 ATL 7 1351 176.10
Projected! ATL 7.78 1195.78 165.42
Roddy White remains an elite fantasy option at WR in 2013. The emergence of Julio Jones as one of the game's top play makers will mean less receptions per game for White in 2013 however.
11
Demaryius Thomas
Denver Broncos
Year Team Receiving TDs Receiving Yards Scoring
2011 DEN 4 551 79.60
2012 DEN 10 1434 200.40
Projected! DEN 8.64 1213.75 171.04
Demaryius Thomas has the physical skill set of an elite fantasy WR. His value takes a slight dip due to the vast array of other weapons on the team. Denver's strong possession game helps boost his value, however, as they can afford to throw the ball dow
12
Vincent Jackson
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Year Team Receiving TDs Receiving Yards Scoring
2011 SD 9 1106 169.70
2012 TB 8 1384 186.40
Projected! TB 8.06 1274.11 177.64
Vincent Jackson is scary good down the field. He uses his enormous frame very well. He is a strong low-end WR1 and a great WR2 in all formats.
13
Danny Amendola
New England Patriots
Year Team Receiving TDs Receiving Yards Scoring
2011 STL 0 45 3.50
2012 STL 3 666 82.40
Projected! NE 7.40 1099.59 151.95
Danny Amendola steps into an ideal fantasy scenario. He becomes the WR1 for a future Hall of Fame QB. The Patriots feature a strong offensive line and a reliable passing attack. Amendola should enjoy a breakout campaign.
14
Jordy Nelson
Green Bay Packers
Year Team Receiving TDs Receiving Yards Scoring
2011 GB 15 1263 216.30
2012 GB 7 745 116.50
Projected! GB 9.52 1107.04 167.14
Jordy Nelson is an elite fantasy receiver. He has the potential to be even stronger than his impressive projection dictates. Upside in a WR1 is a great thing to have.
15
Reggie Wayne
Indianapolis Colts
Year Team Receiving TDs Receiving Yards Scoring
2011 IND 4 960 120.00
2012 IND 5 1355 164.00
Projected! IND 4.52 1149.89 140.88
Reggie Wayne enjoyed a renascence season with Andrew Luck under center. He played extremely well and shows no signs of dropping off. The cliff is coming - but it shouldn't be in 2013.
