Is the "sophomore slump" a reality? In 2011, eight of the fourteen wide receivers who went in the first four rounds in the 2010 draft posted better numbers in 2011 than they did in 2010. While that doesn't look good, four of the receivers who did fall into the "sophomore slump" were Jacoby Ford (missed eight games in 2011), Jordan Shipley (tore his ACL in week 2), Mardy Gilyard (only caught six passes for 63 yards in his rookie season), and Taylor Price (three receptions for 41 yards in 2010 and two receptions for 39 yards in 2011). So when you take those four irrelevant players out, just two of the ten wide receivers taken in the first four rounds in 2010 went into a sophomore slump in 2011: Mike Williams and Emmanuel Sanders. So that leaves you to decide, is the sophomore slump legit? So, why do I bring...

For the entire offseason, the comparisons between Jaguars rookie wide receiver Justin Blackmon and Arizona Cardinals rookie wide receiver have been inevitable, seeing that the two are so much alike. Both are rookies, both must play with sub-par quarterbacking, both have had their share of scuffles with the law (Blackmon being the most recent), and both were drafted within the first 15 picks of the 2012 NFL Draft. But was taking Blackmon with the 5th overall pick the wrong move by the Jaguars? It's clear they needed a wide receiver, but is Floyd the more talented of the two? Comparing them and declaring one superior to the other is a tough task. Let me break it down for you. Floyd has Blackmon beat in almost every measurable besides the forty-yard dash, where Blackmon ran a 4.47 at the NFL Combine, while Floyd ran a 4.46--we'll talk more about those times...

The only sure thing about Denarius Moore this season is that he is no sure thing. A very inconsistent, injury-riddled 2011 season gave fantasy owners headaches in 2011, but does he have enough upside for you to draft him in 2012? Moore, a rookie in 2011 drafted in the fifth round out of the University of Tennessee, got his first opportunity to showcase his talent in Week 2 against the Bills as Darrius Heyward-Bey, Jacoby Ford and Louis Murphy all nursed injuries. With five catches for 146 yards and a spectacular touchdown grab (shown below), he certainly proved what kind of potential he has in the league.   Despite the Raiders not having a first round pick, they managed to find a gem in the late rounds with Moore. Moore was thought to be one of the best players on the field in training camp and pre-season for the Raiders...
