- Can anyone take the crown away from Calvin Johnson?
- We will find out about Josh Gordon's potential suspension this week, but it doesn't look good for the Browns star.
- Even without Gordon the receiver position is deep, especially at the top, with five or six elite talents. Julio Jones, Demaryius Thomas, Dez Bryant, Brandon Marshall and A.J. Green all have a chance to usurp Johnson.
- Antonio Brown is ninth, but his value is even higher in PPR leagues. He proved last season he can find the end zone, so there isn't much stopping him now.
- Pierre Garcon has done well since joining the Redskins, however, there may be cause for concern with so many mouths to feed in that receiving corps. DeSean Jackson, Andre Roberts and Jordan Reed are all capable of making plays downfield, which may take away from Garcon.
- All the attention may be on his teammate Jones, but Roddy White is still a dangerous receiver. With the veteran now healthy, he could be a steal on draft day.
- Michael Floyd and Kendall Wright will be out to prove their 2013 seasons weren't flukes. Spoiler alert: they will both set new career-highs in 2014.
- Emmanuel Sanders may not be a household name yet, but a few weeks with Peyton Manning should make him well known, especially in fantasy.
- Recovering from a season-ending injury isn't easy, but reports say Reggie Wayne has been spectacular in camp. Keep an eye on him in the preseason and don't be scared to take him if he looks healthy.
- Some names to watch in the preseason: Brandin Cooks and Kenny Stills (Saints), Kelvin Benjamin (Panthers), Markus Wheaton (Steelers), Andrew Hawkins (Browns), Kenny Britt (Rams), James Jones (Raiders).
