Value Wideouts (and Michael Vick?)

Everyone already knows all the premier wide receiveers, guys like Randy Moss, Larry Fitzgerald and Andre Johnson (who by the way, after hearing an interview with Jim Rome today, would love to have on my beloved Green Bay Packers - imagine pairing him with the equally humble Greg Jennings, along with Aaron Rodgers... yikes... but I digress). But who are those value... or rather under-valued wideouts out there? Guys who I would take a chance on this year.

Roy Williams - With the departure of TO, Williams should be the go to guy, and he produced nicely in a pathetic Detroit offense with ho-hum QBS. In the Jason Garrett offense, with Tony Romo tossing the ball 30+ times a game, Williams should be good for 1200+ and 10 TDs. (Jason Witten should also see an increase). In most rankings, Williams is no higher than #15 and could be a steal for someone in the 5 round or later.

Laveranues Coles - I mentioned him in my first post, and not to over state the point, but he could be steal for an owner as a #3 or #4 WR this year.

Devin Hestor - Word out of Chicago is Hestor worked extremely hard in the off season to improve his route running and precision. With Culter firmly in place chucking the ball, Hestor could fill a nice big play receiver roll. If were Ron Turner, I would definately put in some bubble screens.

Torry Holt - Yeah, yeah, I know. He is old, slow and washed up. With where he can be had in many drafts I have seen (normally past the 9th round), I would take a chance. Sure, he is on grass, but if his knee is healed up, Torry could produce nice #2 WR numbers as the best receiver in Jacksonville.

Keep an eye on: Percy Harvin. Minnesotans are seeing good things from Percy, contrary to the bad rap he had coming out of college.

Bonus section: Vick makes no difference in Philly.
Question one: even if Donovan McNabb gets hurt and by some fantasy, Vick takes over as the Iggles QB, he is still not relevent. During his time in Atlanta, pre-felon, he near was a top fantasy QB.
Question two: even if Donovin McNabb leaves Philly for greener pastures (or is forced out), and Vick takes over as the Iggles QB... see question one.

And on Today's Menu: Celeste Marie
