Wide Receiver Rank: #2 Overall: #14
It doesn't seem to matter who is throwing passes to Fitzgerald, he just keeps producing. Fitzgerald had his first 1,400-yard season since 2008 last year, catching 80 passes for 1,411 yards and eight touchdowns. He had six 100-yard games and at least 50 yards in all but two games. And this was with some inconsistent play at quarterback and little help around him at receiver. Fitzgerald just keeps producing every season as the No. 1 option for the Cardinals. He has five straight seasons with at least 80 catches and 1,000 yards. Fitzgerald doesn't have elite speed, but runs great routes and has plus hands. He is as athletic as any receiver in the game and remains in the prime of his career at age 29 (turns shortly before season).

Fitzgerald is an elite fantasy receiver. His quarterback situation remains somewhat of a concern, but he proved last season he continues to prove he can still produce despite erratic quarterback play. You can pencil in Fitz for 90-plus receptions, 1,000-plus yards and double-digit touchdowns. He should be one of the first receivers taken come draft day. He has as consistent as they come. |

| Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald said that he feels badly for the New Orleans Saints players who were suspended as a result of the league's investigation into bounties; however, he doesn't think the league could sit by and do nothing when it learned of the Saints' bounty program. 'I've known Jonathan Vilma for a very long time, and Will Smith actually hosted me on my visit to Ohio State in college,' Fitzgerald said. 'So I've known these guys for a really long time and they're not bad men by any stretch of the imagination. I feel bad that they're losing game checks and losing the opportunity to make a living. But I think Roger Goodell, our commissioner, had to do something to let everybody know that this is not going to be tolerated, and moving forward this is not something that's going to be acceptable.' |
