Week 17 showed what might have been had he stayed healthy.

RBSan Diego Chargers

Dez Bryant

Despite injury-riddled rookie season, showed superb physical skills. Must fight for targets, however.

Heavily targeted receiver with solid all-around skills.

WRAtlanta Falcons
DeAngelo Williams RB running back CAR Carolina Panthers35DeAngelo Williams

Josh Freeman's favorite target - has good athleticism and red-zone size.

WRTampa Bay Buccaneers

Arguably No. 1 overall pick if guaranteed 16-game season; worth a gamble at this spot.

QBPhiladelphia Eagles

Mike Wallace

His 12.7 YPT was the best mark in the last 10 years; explosive big play receiver.

WRMiami Dolphins
Jonathan Stewart RB running back CAR Carolina Panthers39Jonathan Stewart

Stewart is one of the more talented running backs in football, but a time share with DeAngelo Williams limits his upside.

RBCarolina Panthers

Downfield playmaker, could see more action if Steve Smith is slow to recover.

Full season with game-breaker Mike Wallace bodes well.

Nate Burleson

Should see a lot of single coverage.

Austin Collie WR wide receiver 71Austin Collie

Austin Collie

WR
Cedric Benson RB running back 72Cedric Benson

It's not pretty, but 300 carries will pay the bills.

RB
Braylon Edwards WR wide receiver 73Braylon Edwards

Braylon Edwards

Still a big-time downfield weapon.

WR

Sidney Rice

Athletic playmaker with good size; QB issues in Seattle hurt his value.

Robert Meachem WR wide receiver SD San Diego Chargers79Robert Meachem

Robert Meachem

Has the physical tools to be a No. 1, but apparently viewed as a complementary part.

WRSan Diego Chargers

Marshawn Lynch

Epic carry in playoff game possibly buys Lynch a few starts, but 3.6 YPC last year.

RBSeattle Seahawks

Marcedes Lewis

The 6-6 tight end is Jaguars primary red-zone threat.

Explosive deep threat, averaged 22.5 YPC.

WRPhiladelphia Eagles
Vincent Jackson WR wide receiver TB Tampa Bay Buccaneers86Vincent Jackson

Big upside since he's finally under contract and could be Philip Rivers' main target all season.

WRTampa Bay Buccaneers
Kendall Hunter RB running back SF San Francisco 49ers87Kendall Hunter

Kendall Hunter

Rookie is No. 2 of San Francisco depth chart. 49ers expect to be run-heavy and only injury-prone Frank Gore stands between Hunter and heavy workload.

RBSan Francisco 49ers
Roy Helu RB running back WAS Washington Redskins88Roy Helu

Roy Helu

Could easily replace Ryan Torain - more upside due to speed - but keep in mind Shanahan is the Devil to fantasy running backs.

RBWashington Redskins

Needs to stay healthy, and the Texans don't throw a lot in the red zone.

TEHouston Texans
Jay Cutler QB quarterback CHI Chicago Bears94Jay Cutler

Jay Cutler

Year 2 with Mike Martz and an offensive line expected to improve.

QBChicago Bears
Lee Evans WR wide receiver 95Lee Evans

Lee Evans

Arrival in Baltimore should revive career somewhat.

WR
Montario Hardesty RB running back CLE Cleveland Browns96Montario Hardesty

Montario Hardesty

Coming back from injury, spells Peyton Hillis behind first-rate offensive line. Bad injury news throughout training camp, though.

RBCleveland Browns

Behind Reggie Wayne, Dallas Clark and Austin Collie in the pecking order.

WRWashington Redskins

Reliable receiver in Saints offense, but upside limited by its diversity.

WRNew Orleans Saints
Michael Crabtree WR wide receiver SF San Francisco 49ers101Michael Crabtree

Michael Crabtree

Came on strong in the playoffs - should push Ryan Grant for carries.

Has the physical skills to be factor.

Kevin Walter

Big, physical receiver who benefits from single coverage; limited ceiling.

WRTennessee Titans
Bernard Scott RB running back CIN Cincinatti Bengals113Bernard Scott

Bernard Scott

Scott doesn't project as a lead back, but only a Cedric Benson-injury away from assuming feature role.

RBCincinatti Bengals

Jason Snelling

Michael Turner's backup, Snelling caught 44 passes.

RBAtlanta Falcons
Darren Sproles RB running back NO New Orleans Saints115Darren Sproles

Heavily-targeted tight end in elite offense.

All-world prospect will fight for targets in Cincinnati.

WRCincinatti Bengals

Matt Schaub

Competent QB in good environment, but HOU usually runs near the goal line.

QBHouston Texans
Peyton Manning QB quarterback DEN Denver Broncos130Peyton Manning

Won't have 679 attempts again, but efficiency (6.9 YPA) should improve with receivers healthy.

QBDenver Broncos

Chad Johnson

His days of being a No. 1 WR are likely behind him, but there's upside in New England.

WR
Thomas Jones RB running back 132Thomas Jones

Thomas Jones

At this point, more of a handcuff for Jamal Charles' owners.

RB
Aaron Hernandez TE tight end NE New England Patriots133Aaron Hernandez

Aaron Hernandez

Dynamic pass-catching TE, but will yield goal-line targets to Rob Gronkowski.

TENew England Patriots
Chris Ivory RB running back NYJ New York Jets134Chris Ivory

Johnny Knox

Bears coaches talking down Knox in favor of Roy Williams and Devin Hester.

Unbelievable in CLE to end 2009, but no one seems to want to give him a repeat shot.

RB
Heath Miller TE tight end PIT Pittsburgh Steelers191Heath Miller

Depth chart afterthought.

RBArizona Cardinals
Brandon LaFell WR wide receiver CAR Carolina Panthers205Brandon LaFell

Greg Salas

Crowded WR corp. but Salas runs sharp routes.

WRPhiladelphia Eagles
Eddie Royal WR wide receiver SD San Diego Chargers207Eddie Royal

Broncos will throw less under John Fox, so unlikely to return to 2009-form.

WRSan Diego Chargers
Jacquizz Rodgers RB running back ATL Atlanta Falcons208Jacquizz Rodgers

'Quizz could be dynamic but would still never assume heavy carries even in event of Turner injury.

Terrell Owens

Will need to heal quickly to be a factor for anybody in 2011.

WR
Javon Ringer RB running back 210Javon Ringer

Currently No. 1 with Titans as Chris Johnson holds out, but still worth owning as handcuff even when Johnson returns.

Josh Morgan

Better on a per-play basis than Michael Crabtree.

WRWashington Redskins
Ben Obomanu WR wide receiver 212Ben Obomanu

Mike Hart

Career marred by injuries but produced in limited roles.

Jon Baldwin WR wide receiver KC Kansas City Chiefs227Jon Baldwin

Jon Baldwin

His fight with Thomas Jones just about erases whatever fantasy value he may have had.

WRKansas City Chiefs
Matt Cassel QB quarterback MIN Minnesota Vikings228Matt Cassel

Playing time seems relatively safe in Oakland.

QBCleveland Browns

Jordan Shipley
