Fantasy Football 2006 - Draft Tip #14

Continuing with our look at the rookie class here are my choices for the top four Wides (plus one rookie sleeper) in order of preference:

1. Santonio Holmes
2. Sinorice Moss
3. Maurice Stovall
4. Chad Jackson

Why? (I was afraid you were going to ask that)

Holmes - I saw him play at THE Ohio State University and, frankly, don't think there were any better in the 2006 draft. He should have little problem unseating Antwaan Randel El by midseason. The only downside? He's not playing with a Manning.

Moss - I just couldn't make a Eweniversity of Miami player my #1 pick, besides, Holmes is better anyway. Moss does have the advantage of playing with a Manning however he doesn't appear to possess the raw talent of big brother Santana and he still has to get past either Plax or Amani.

Stovall - Big and strong. A good fit in Gruden's system. But, there is no way (barring injury) this former member of the Blighting Irish moves ahead of Buckeye Joey Galloway or a more experienced Michael Clayton.

Jackson - Put up big numbers at "The Swamp", but the NFL isn't "The Swamp". There are concerns about his toughness. Still, with Givens gone, he may have an outside chance to start for the Pats. Not a bad position to be in with Brady at the helm.

Rookie Sleeper:

Greg Jennings - Quick, name two quality receivers on the Packers not including Donald Driver. Now you know why Jennings might be starting before long.
