Projected! DET 9.73 1513.89 208.19
A return to nearly 2,000 passing yards seems unlikely in 2014. That said, Megatron's production is incredible. It is amazing to say that a projection like this has upside - but it does. Fantasy Stud.

2012 DEN 10 1434 200.40

AJ Green is one of the best WRs in the game. Over his last 8 games, he caught six or more passes in 5 of them. In the games where he caught less than 6 balls - he scored TDs in 2 of the three.

2013 CHI 12 1295 201.50
Projected! CHI 10.02 1307.09 189.74
Marshall is a safe projection for over 100 receptions and 1,200+ yards receiving. That is pretty insane given how awesome those numbers are. He's a great draft day selection for your team.
5
Julio Jones
Atlanta Falcons
Year Team Receiving TDs Receiving Yards Scoring
2012 ATL 10 1198 182.80
2013 ATL 2 580 68.70
Projected! ATL 9.44 1354.64 193.42
A monster fantasy season is coming from the ultra-talented Julio Jones. If the rest of your league has softened on him - draft him and enjoy the rewards. He is a Top 5 WR in all formats.
6
Dez Bryant
Dallas Cowboys
Year Team Receiving TDs Receiving Yards Scoring
2012 DAL 12 1382 204.70
2013 DAL 13 1233 198.40
Projected! DAL 12.63 1254.34 197.53
Dez Bryant has been a consistent fantasy stud over the past two seasons. There is no reason to believe that 2014 should be any different. He is a clear WR1 in all formats and should go early in your draft.
7
Jordy Nelson
Green Bay Packers
Year Team Receiving TDs Receiving Yards Scoring
2012 GB 7 745 116.50
2013 GB 8 1314 179.40
Projected! GB 10.04 1313.78 191.63
Jordy Nelson is a fantasy stud. His projection for 2014 is very strong. Draft him as a legit WR1.
8
Antonio Brown
Pittsburgh Steelers
Antonio Brown
Year Team Receiving TDs Receiving Yards Scoring
2012 PIT 5 787 106.10
2013 PIT 8 1499 197.80
Projected! PIT 6.88 1320.35 172.61
Brown hauled in an astounding 110 catches in 2013. A regression from those numbers is expected - but he is still likely to flirt with 100 catches in a pass happy offense. Brown is a WR1.
9
Andre Johnson
Houston Texans
Year Team Receiving TDs Receiving Yards Scoring
2012 HOU 4 1598 183.80
2013 HOU 5 1407 170.70
Projected! HOU 5.02 1328.35 163.11
Andre Johnson has posted two consecutive seasons of 100+ receptions with miserable QB play. There is no reason to think he can't do it again. His value would spike if he was dealt to a team with a quality starter.
10
Roddy White
Atlanta Falcons
Year Team Receiving TDs Receiving Yards Scoring
2012 ATL 7 1351 176.10
2013 ATL 3 711 87.10
Projected! ATL 8.47 1199.52 168.87
By any measure, White had a down year in 2013. With Gonzalez gone, White will get more opportunities in 2014.
11
Alshon Jeffery
Chicago Bears
Year Team Receiving TDs Receiving Yards Scoring
2012 CHI 3 367 54.70
2013 CHI 7 1421 191.60
Projected! CHI 5.33 1376.40 174.46
Jeffery went to the Pro Bowl in his second year with the Bears. More importantly, he was a fantasy opportunity hog. He gets a ton of looks which makes him fantasy gold.
12
Vincent Jackson
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Year Team Receiving TDs Receiving Yards Scoring
2012 TB 8 1384 186.40
2013 TB 7 1224 163.40
Projected! TB 8.93 1260.34 179.39
Vincent Jackson has scored 7+ TDs in six of the past seven seasons. He has gone for over 1,000 yards in six of the past seven season. The odd duck season? An injury knocked him out after five games. He's a WR1 - and a safe pick.
13
Michael Floyd
Arizona Cardinals
Year Team Receiving TDs Receiving Yards Scoring
2012 ARI 2 562 67.20
2013 ARI 5 1041 134.10
Projected! ARI 7.50 1221.22 166.30
Floyd has had an awesome offseason by all accounts. He is coming off a season where he broke the 1,000 yard barrier. Going into his third season, Floyd should continue to grow. Floyd has monster fantasy season written all over him.
14
Pierre Garcon
Washington Redskins
Year Team Receiving TDs Receiving Yards Scoring
2012 WAS 4 633 94.20
2013 WAS 5 1346 165.50
Projected! WAS 7.70 1076.85 156.89
DeSean Jackson will stretch the field and offer Garcon additional opportunities with single coverage. Expect more red zone looks as well. He will lose touches to Jackson but still projects to a strong 2014.
15
Mike Wallace
Miami Dolphins
Year Team Receiving TDs Receiving Yards Scoring
2012 PIT 8 836 130.30
2013 MIA 5 930 126.30
Projected! MIA 8.24 1062.96 157.66
A new offensive system should do wonders for Wallace. Bill Lazor will feature Wallace - which will mean additional receptions this season. Wallace is projected to eclipse the 1,000 yard mark in 2014.
