Two years ago, Steve Smith ran away with best fantasy WR stats with a monster season. Last year, however, a combination of personal and team injuries negatively affected his numbers and Marvin Harrison rose to the top or the WR fantasy charts.
This year should see many of the same names at the top of the charts (Harrison, Smith, Ownes, Holt, Johnson, Wayne). But who will rise to the top?
My prediction is Chad Johnson. Johnson had a relatively down year last year, partly due to Carson Palmer coming fresh of a knee injury and also due to an extremely tough schedule.
This year, Carson is 1.5 years removed from surgery and should benefit from a full training camp schedule. Furthermore, the Bengals mediocre record last year has landed them an easier schedule.
With Chris Henry on suspension for most of the year, look for Chad Johnson to have his best season and rise to the top of the fantasy WR charts.

Chad has been pretty streaky for me in the past. I always have bad luck with WRs anyway - I was excited last year b/c Randy Moss slipped to the end of the 4th round in our league and I scooped him up. What a bargain.
