Need a Wideout?

There's good news this morning if you're in need of a WR on your fantasy team. Braylon Edwards is traded to the Jets and Michael Crabtree signs with the 49ers.

Braylon's stock should go up considerably playing for the Jets. Although the Jets are listed just below the Browns in passing offense, Braylon goes to a team that is doing much better overall and has no QB controversy. Mark Sanchez is the man for the Jets. Coach Rex Ryan seems to have Sanchez playing the same role as Joe Flacco and Matt Ryan did for their teams last year. If the Jets follow similar footsteps as the Ravens and Falcons you will see their offense improve very soon. The Jets obviously want to improve their in-the-air game and Braylon's talent should contribute a great deal.

Crabtree finally signs with the 49ers who are already off to a good start in their division: 3-1, and in 1st place. QB Shaun Hill is 11th in passing rank. There seems to be plenty of room for an offensive player on the team. Crabtree should contribute considerably. The 49ers and their fans are eager to see what their 1st round pick can do.

Its likely each of these players have been dropped in your league and are available. Their talent is deserving of top echelon picks in a fantasy draft but their situations have lowered their stock so far in 2009. Need a WR? Pick them up. Make sure to check game time status as each may not necessarily start this week but should be on the field catching balls very soon.
