2007 Fantasy Football - The Year of the Wide Receiver

While elite running backs continue to disappoint this fantasy football season through week 3, wide receivers are scoring like its a video game.

Owners of Steven Jackson, Ladainain Thompson, and Larry Johnson have seen only one 100 yard + rushing performance this year. Not a great return on investment.

Meanwhile, WR's are lighting it up. Randy Moss and Chad Johnson have over 800 yards and 8 touchdowns between them in 2 games. Plaxico Burress and TJ Houshmandzadeh have 9 TDs between them. Steve Smith already has 4 touchdowns.

Will these high scoring wide receivers keep it up for 16 games? Probably not. But for now, if you own one of these guys, sit back and enjoy the scoring.
