Fantasy Football NFL Third Year Wide Receivers


Third Year Wide Receivers

The tendency for third year receivers to blossom during their "junior" campaigns in the NFL deserves consideration in preparation for fantasy football league drafts. Established pass grabbers who wallowed in the mire prior to emerging into the bright light of stardom in third seasons include: Terrell Owens, Rod Smith, Plaxico Burress and Javon Walker, Eric Moulds, Laveranues Coles, Curtis Conway, Jerry Porter, Rod Smith, Marty Booker among a lot of others. This season won't be an exception, so keep your eye on these junior flying pigskin palmers who may be poised to step-up in status.
