Fantasy Football 2006: Top 10 Fantasy WRs

They usually aren't too hard to find on the field. They are loud, boisterous, and "always open." They are the wide receivers of the NFL. Not only are they some of the most agile, athletic, and gifted players on the field, they are usually pretty open to letting you know about it... over and over and over again. But there are also receivers who are quiet and let their play do their talking. My list of the top 10 fantasy wide receivers going into the 2006 season has a good mixture of both types of receivers. 2006 provides a very strong class of some of the top receivers in the NFL.

We'll have receivers who are mainstays for their franchises. You'll be introduced to an elite list, including a lightning rod for attention with his eyes on a fresh start in "Big D." But these 10 wide receivers represent the cream of the crop in terms of NFL wide receivers.

Top 10 Fantasy Wide Receivers

10.) Santana Moss, Washington Redskins
2005 Stats: 84 rec., 1,483 yards, 17.7 yard avg., 9 TDs
Notes: Santana Moss made an immediate impact for the Redskins last season, being the team's number one option in the passing game and leading his team to a playoff appearance after a wear 2004 campaign for the 'Skins. Moss was a home-run threat every time the ball was snapped. He managed to have quite the effect on Mark Brunell and the Redskin offense last season, just ask the Dallas Cowboys about his impact. Santana is of the mold of the "smaller, faster" receivers which are once again becoming the chic trend in the NFL thanks to him and guys like Carolina's Steve Smith, who I guarantee we will be seeing late on in this ranking. He might be a step below the elite receivers who are listed higher, but it's a safe prospect to expect a 1,000 yard season from Moss, even with the WR pickups Washington made with (Randle El and Lloyd) and with Clinton Portis still demanding the ball with offensive coordinator Al Saunders.
