I think you can add Reggie Wayne too. I think age scares a lot of owners (he's 35). But WR age is different from the RB position. Wayne played in 7 games and had 503 yards before getting hurt. He was on pace for over 1100 yards.

Wayne's age doesnt scare me off, its the fact that he is the number 2 WR in a very crowded WR group...

He was out-pacing Hilton through those 7 games by almost 100 yards. And most depth charts still list Wayne as the WR1.

I think you overrate the colts wide outs. Nicks is nothing special. They have no good TEs either. What scares me off is he tore his ACL. It's hard to come back from that injury, especially at the age of 35.

Its easy to came back from that. I tore my ACL and MCL at age 43. I'm no WR, but fully healed within a year, I was back playing ice hockey and still out-skating the 20-somethings. Plus I've spoken with a few recent patients of ACL tears, and the therapy and approach is vastly different from a decade ago.

QB: Tony Romo
People overlook him because he's so incredibly unclutch, and because people love to hate the Cowboys. But he consistently puts up solid numbers.

RB: Fred Jackson
Got him with the 99th pick in my draft. Absolute steal with that pick IMO. He is going to split time with Spiller, and get most of the goal line work. And when Spiller inevitably gets hurt for 3-4 games, Jackson turns into a RB2.

Rivers is another one. He had a bad season 2 years ago, but has solid receiving options in Allen, Floyd, Gates, Green, Woodhead

Romo has weapons, an awful defense and Scott Freaking Linehan. Those are the makings of fantasy greatness. Romo and Rivers could both be top 5-6 QBs in scoring. And they're 9-11th rounders. It's crazy. (Tony's back is a major concern though. So I recommend drafting them both.)

No good TEs!?! They have TWO good TEs! Dwayne Allen is a helluva football player. Was hurt last year. Fleener is no slouch and has history with Luck. I agree on Nicks.

Charles Clay is an underrated TE. Didn't have a giant season last year. But Miami was chaos. Losing 40% of their line to drama. He went undrafted in The Barbarians Draft last night. That's just not right.

Tough to fit back up TE's on a 14 man roster.

I think playing a full schedule as a starter, Allen will easily equal his rookie year totals.

Remember - they were gift wrapping TDs to Eddie Royal like no body's business the start the year off.
And I laughed all the way to the bank when other owners chased those TDs and grabbed Royal off waivers and I added Allen last year in 3 of my 4 money leagues.

i also added Keenan early last year Monkey and was very pleased also

I think he should still rock this year however i fielded one too many offers for him and shipped him out for Terrance Williams and a late pick (which is used for a late round keeper)

Here is to hoping T outscores K

Wayne is a solid Wr1 and has been for years and if when he is drafted in later rounds he then Yes is being overlooked which is all Joe stated

and i also like Garcon and the others mentioned way before Cam in 5
