Posted by Rob in Fantasy Advice,Ranks,Wide Receivers on Aug 9th 2010 (Print This)
The college game is in a transition period with its’ wide receivers. The talent level took a big hit last season as the NFL Draft sucked up some major junior talent.
These rankings are filled with wide outs that will be looking to make a name for themselves on the college level. There are also alot of already productive wide receivers who will have new quarterbacks to break in. One is Ryan Broyles at Oklahoma who will have Landry Jones at quarterback. We expect Broyles to struggle the first part of the season until Jones gets his feet wet in the Big 12.
If there is a weak position in college fantasy football, this is it. As I said before the mix of new quarterbacks will contribute, as well as the top juniors leaving for the NFL Draft early. New players will be thrust into starting jobs and how they do remains to be unseen.
So where does this leave college fantasy owner’s. The wide receiver position is much like its’ NFL brethren, the talent pool dries up quick and owner’s should be pro-active in filling this position. This is not a position that you can wait on, the talent is simply not there throughout the ranks.
The rankings have changed a little bit from when they were released last, but not much. The top man is still DeAndre Brown who I feel has the talent to put up gaudy numbers in Conference USA. A healthy Brown, who will be fully healthy by the start of the season looks to have added strength and weight according to head coach Larry Fedora.
Let’s get to the ranks.
