Last two prospects above shown based on that upside not nessarily production!
Thats the Elite 11 for now..some tough choices.
Will hope to add some more of the 42 WRs (31 remaining) on the list in near future

Always enjoy CF Members chiming in and keeping threads rolling as season moves along!
 
That time again?! Time flies.

Your group of WRs to look out for certainly are ones to watch for and should be either number 1 or number 2 receivers for their respective teams. Looking forward to seeing how they all play this year and also who emerges from out of nowhere.
 
Wasn't there a wideout on San Jose State who was tearing it up last year, or am I imagining things. Had an Italian surname. What happened to him?

Anyway, great preview as always, 22!

That was Danny Scudero. Unfortunately he ended up transferring to Colorado.
 
On of my favorite threads! I agree that this year seems much promising than last year. More star power.
