So even with Anquan Boldin gone, Fitzgerald's catch total will probably slip from 97, and his TD total could slip from 13 as well. That means Fitz is a second round pick, not a first rounder. Breaston, meanwhile, figures to make a jump forward with Boldin gone from his '09 levels of 55 712 3. Breaston was a 1,000 yard receiver in '08 when Boldin was missing, and so the Cards will trust him enough for him to move back into the 70 replica Cartier we1001r8 Men's watch catch area. Verdict: Sink for Fitzgerald; Rise for BreastonWRs DeSean Jackson, Jeremy Maclin, and Jason Avant, Eagles Jackson had a breakout season in '09 with 12 total touchdowns and 1,156 receiving yards with a 18.6 yards per catch average. With Kevin Kolb now on board, Jackson will continue to have to put up big numbers with a relatively low number of catches, but he's shown he's capable of that enough for us to expect similar numbers in 2010.
Maclin had 56 catches for 773 yards and four touchdowns as a rookie, and although he'll undoubtedly be a better player in his second season, Kolb's inevitable growing pains will probably keep Maclin's numbers from shooting upward. Likewise, Avant will probably hover around his '09 numbers (41 catches, 587 yards, three touchdowns) which replica Cartier W62026Y4 Men's watch makes him an emergency fantasy fill in. Verdict: Float for Jackson, Maclin, and AvantWR Hines Ward and Mike Wallace, Steelers While Santonio Holmes emerged as a No. 1 caliber receiver last year, Ward still performed incredibly well for fantasy owners, piling up 95 catches for 1,167 yards and six touchdowns.
And now that Holmes is gone, the first assumption might be to count on Ward to match or surpass his '09 numbers. But remember that Ben Roethlisberger will miss four games at the beginning of the season, and fill in Byron Leftwich has slow feet and a slow delivery. Those four games could knock 10 15 catches off Ward's season total as the Steelers' passing game struggles. It's not Ward's fault, but a sink is coming. Wallace, meanwhile, figures to replica Cartier w31077u2 Men's watch gain from Holmes' absence and move into the starting lineup. That means his strong rookie season of 39 catches for 756 yards and six touchdowns won't be a fluke. Wallace will get more catches, but given the passing game status, his yardage and touchdown numbers will be about the same level, which makes him a solid No. 4 fantasy receiver with some upside.
