I've thought CJ was elite since his sophmore year. He's put up with all types of **** at QB and only now is getting stability with Stafford (if he can stay healthy). It's him and Andre Johnson at the top, but I think CJ separates himself entirely from the rest of the league this year, and easily has the ability to go down as one of the all-time greats at the position.

Other up-and-coming receivers I like are A.J. Green, Dez Bryant, Julio Jones, and Michael Crabtree. Crabtree is one of those guys that won't produce in a situation he doesn't like, so it doesn't look good for him right now, but he still has huge potential. It's a shame to see it go to waste.

A guy that's already proven but can take it up another notch is Hakeem Nicks. I can see him becoming a top 3 guy very soon.

I took Mike Wallace pretty late in fantasy last year. Easily my best pick. Best deep threat in the league; I like him more than Jackson.

You and Mark Sanchez both apparently. My Bolts look like they are going to the playoffs. Their schedule is pretty weak overall which makes me prepare for another early playoff exit.

Yeah, I'm really gearing up for some riveting championship series losses from my Jets and Sharks. Safe to say the excitement is palpable around my house as I eagerly anticipate just how my teams will blow it this year!

(Side bar: I'll be heading to the Duck Pond to crash the home opener. Quack quack.)

The Jets could still remain contenders if they get Mangold back. I know what life without your starting center is like, Hardwick gets injured for the Chargers every year.

I'll be at the home opener also in the club level. See ya at the blue line lounge, look for the Getzlaf jersey. Go Guppies<------ Not really.

Apparently Peyton's injury no longer has the remainder of his career in jeopardy.

Woot

I can't see the Colts not taking Peyton's salary, even if Luck is ready. It'd be a major slap in the face if they didn't.

I'm pretty sure they are gonna dump him. They have cleaned house from bottom to top. New head coach and gm too.

It's a shame.

chances are pretty good of him coming to minni. Leslie Frazier and our new d coordinator both mentored under dungy and have a relationship with peyton. We have an incredibly good record of getting old beaten up qb's so im confident our staff can do it again.
