PLAYER NEWS: Dante Stallworth climbing the Patriots' depth charts

[Jake T.]

Word out of New England is that Stallworth is now in the top 3 WRs on the depth chart after starting the season out near the bottom. Although he won't be a fantasy superstar with Randy Moss, Jabar Gaffney, Wes Welker, Troy Brown, Chad Jackson and Reche Caldwell vying for catches, his deep speed makes him a tough cover for other teams trying to stop Moss. It's likely Stallworth will split catches with Gaffney and be the 2nd most valuable fantasy WR for the Pats this season but I wouldn't expect a ton. Something like 55 catches, 850 yards, and 7 TDs sounds about right, making Stallworth a backup fantasy WR to put on your bench in the later rounds as a backup plan.

Brady Has Always Spread His Passes . How Do You Rate These 6
Receivers As A Group Vs A Couple Other Teams Overall ? In My League This Year I Can Have One At Large Player From Any Position
Of Course I"ll Use A Qb Or Rb. A Qb Who Spreads Is Ok But I Stay
Away From His Receivers.

The WR corps in New England this year has as much potential as any. Moss is the best WR in the league and should rebound with a monster year. Stallworth has amazing speed and teamed with Moss will make the two of them very hard to cover. Gaffney is improving every year and is a solid #2 for half the teams in the league. Welker showed flashes, Jackson has potential like crazy when he finally gets healthy. They are deep and talented. I'd put Indy in the same group.

Miami's WRs may be among the top 5 most talented in the league but since their QB doesn't have time to throw, it's unlikely you see much in the way of numbers.

Cincy has a nice top 2 but little beyond that.

Dallas has to be at least mentioned. Giants and Redskins also get some love as well.

It's really Indy and NE as far as stats go. Miami is up there in talent but not production.

Forgot about Zona who I'd put top 6 or so.

Barely out of it. They'll put up nice stats though but I want to see how they do with Calvin as the #2 before I elevate em.
