 Fantasy Football
The generally accepted theory on wide receivers is that they are due a breakout season in their third year in the NFL. The best receivers of the 2006 draft seem to be at least somewhat the exception to that rule, certainly when it comes to fantasy football.

I wonder if Marshall will face any league discipline with all his off the field stuff, the latest I heard being an illegal lane change in June. That would knock his fantasy value some if he misses a couple games.

I think Colston may take a step down this year. If they can find some consistent options around him, he may get less looks.

Jennings should get more receptions this year, and if he can come close to last year's TD total, you've got a top 10 fantasy WR.

My favorite to breakout from this year's "third year" group is Santonio Holmes. Assuming everybody's healthy (including Holmes himself), he should go off this year.

I'm going to agree with you bardley with that Holmes is probably going to be the most productive just because he is also a deep threat that can stretch the field, and probably result in the most fantasy points.

The Saints have some consistent options in Henderson and Copper. Colston should have a better year. He still has Brees throwing him the ball and with his size and speed he can run all over defenses. He might get less looks this year with a healthy backfield, but his production in the endzone should stay the same.
