WR5 Draft Guide Update 2

I removed Golden Tate.  After a very strong start to the offseason, he's fallen behind and will not start when the year begins.  He's working on special teams now to increase his gameday value.  He's someone to keep an eye on when the regular season begins, but he's not draftable.

I've become a stronger proponent of both Mike Williams from TB and Bernard Berrian.  Williams has had a strong offseason from start to finish, and barring injury, he's a lock to lead all rookie WRs in yards and probably TDs.  The Freeman injury hurts his value in the short term, but if that allows you to grab him at a further discount, that's perfect.  Berrian obviously gets a bump due to Rice's hip surgery and Harvin's headaches, and he's probably being drafted as more of a WR4 now, which is fine as he'll start and be the primary deep threat for Favre.

I also highly recommend Jabar Gaffney.  He's hardly an elite talent, but he's a good bet to lead the Broncos in receiving.  Demaryius Thomas has re-injured his foot again, and he's not going to make a fantasy impact until late this year, if at all.  Eric Decker isn't going to threaten his starting job this season, and who knows what you'll get with Eddie Royal.
