Flapjacks Fantasy Football Preview - Top 5 WRs

#1 - Larry Fitzgerald: '08 - 96 receptions, 1,431 yds 12 tds

Larry is about as safe a choice as there is. He tied Calvin Johnson for the most receiving tds last year with 12. He should be right around that total again this year. Even though they lost offensive coordinator Todd Haley to the Chiefs, Arizona still can't run the ball. Which means Fitzgerald and Boldin will be seeing plenty of passes. Can't go wrong here.

2009 prediction - 101 receptions, 1,497 yds 14 tds

#2 - Andre Johnson: '08 - 115 receptions, 1,575 yds 8 tds

He led the league in receptions and receiving yardage last year and should be right near the top in both categories again this season. Assuming his qb (Schaub) can stay healthy for once, Johnson will be in for another monster season.

2009 prediction - 104 receptions, 1,490 yds 12 tds

#3 - Randy Moss: '08 - 69 receptions, 1,008 yds 11 tds

Moss still put up over 1,000 yds and 11 tds without Tom Brady. Luckily for him, Brady is back this season and his numbers should obviously improve. The loss of offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels shouldn't' effect the offense too much. Anyone who can't figure out to get the ball to Moss and Welker is a moron.

2009 prediction - 91 receptions, 1,370 yds 14 tds

#4 - Calvin Johnson: '08 - 78 receptions, 1,331 yds 12 tds

Calvin is 6'5, 235 lbs and runs a 4.35 40 yd dash. He's a monster and put up huge numbers with Dan Orlovsky throwing him the ball last year. The Lions have improved their offensive line and their QB play will be better than last year, so Calvin will be in line for another huge season.

2009 prediction - 90 receptions, 1,390 yds 13 tds

#5 - Steve Smith: '08 - 78 receptions, 1,421 yds 6 tds

Smith put up those numbers despite being suspended for the first 2 games last season. He'll be around for all 16 this year (hopefully) so look for more of the same. His 1,421 yds were 3rd in league, although his 6 tds left a bit to be desired. Smith has finished in the top 5 for WRs three of the past four years. Expect Smith to be right around the top 5 again this season.

2009 prediction - 86 receptions, 1,400 yds 8 tds
