Sophomore Outlook
WR A.J. Green, ---
FANTASY PROFILE / STATS & MORE
Green had a great rookie season gaining over 1000 yards on 65 catches, including 7 touchdowns playing in 15 games. Green and fellow rookie QB Andy Dalton look like they will be one of the better combos for years to come. Green should be considered a top 12 fantasy receiver in any format and should be drafted as such.
WR Julio Jones, ---
FANTASY PROFILE / STATS & MORE
The Falcons traded up in the 2011 draft to get Julio Jones, hoping he would be the spark to put the Falcons offense over the top. Despite not having a full off season to get used to the Falcons playbook (and only playing in parts of 13 games), Jones was explosive and had a very solid rookie year catching 54 passes for 959 yards and 8 touchdowns. With a full off season to work with his fellow Falcons, look for him to improve on those numbers. Depending on what scoring system you are in, Jones should be drafted anywhere from around 10 to 18.
WR Greg Little, ---
FANTASY PROFILE / STATS & MORE
Being the #1 receiver isn't always what it's cracked up to be. Despite being a rookie, Little was the #1 wide out in Cleveland, and even though he played in all 16 games, he only caught 61 passes for 709 yards and 2 touchdowns. The Browns hope they have improved their offense by spending two #1 picks on offensive players, RB Trent Richardson and QB Brandon Weeden. While I don't see Little turning into a stud, look for him to improve on his rookie numbers. Could be a surprise pick, probably closer to the end of the draft, but could sneak into to the mid rounds
WR Torrey Smith, ---
FANTASY PROFILE / STATS & MORE
Smith did a good job as the deep threat in the Ravens' office during his rookie year, as he caught 50 passes for 841 yards and 7 touchdowns. Smith appears to be fully healed from his off season surgery and will once again be the Ravens' deep threat. He makes for an interesting mid round pick
WR Titus Young, ---
FANTASY PROFILE / STATS & MORE
Young had an up and down rookie season and will look to build on it in 2012. Young will try and unseat veteran Nate Burleson and hold off rookie Ryan Broyles and become the #2 WR in the Lions' offense. This is a battle to follow through the summer and training camp and if Young comes out on top of the battle, he could be a good value pick in the mid to late rounds. Either way he has very good upside in a keeper league.
