2014 Projected Rankings By Position: Wide Receivers

It's never too early to look towards the next Fantasy Football season. Here is part three of my 2014 Pre-Draft Rankings by position. Here we'll look at the Wide Receivers:

Top 10

1. Calvin Johnson

2. Dez Bryant

3. Josh Gordon

4. AJ Green

5. Julio Jones

6. Andre Johnson

7. Brandon Marshall

8. Demaryius Thomas

9. Alshon Jeffrey

10. Antonio Brown

•No surprise at the number one receiver for next season, but the big surprise at the position is Josh Gordon. He's had a great year (you could say he's had a better year than CJ in less games), and has been immune to the Browns' bad quarterback situation. 

•Before Julio Jones went down with an injury he was leading the league in receiving. He should come off draft boards early again next season. 

•Alshon Jeffrey officially made "the leap" this season and is establishing himself as a top wideout in the NFL. 

•Brown sneaks into the top ten being perhaps the most consistent and underrated wide receiver this season. 

Just Missed

DeSean Jackson

Larry Fitzgerald 

Wes Welker

Eric Decker

Pierre Garçon

Vincent Jackson

Jordy Nelson

•There are so many receivers you can add to the "just missed" list, but here are a few that were the closest. 

•If Welker and Decker played on any other team they would be on the top ten list for next season. That could be the case for Decker still. 

•Garçon has had a great season in Washington and with a healthy RGIII next season he could be even better. 

•Jordy Nelson borders WR1 territory with Aaron Rodgers at quarterback, but without him he is merely average. 

Sleepers

Percy Harvin

Keenan Allen

Kendall Wright

Michael Floyd

•If Harvin is fully healthy next season, he could be very dangerous, as we've seen in the past. He could be a mid round steal in 2014. 

•Allen has had a fantastic rookie season and will look to improve in 2014. 

•Watch out for Floyd as a deep sleeper. He has made strides in his second season and while Fitzgerald gets most of the attention, Floyd has been nearly as productive. 

Notable Omission

Justin Blackmon

•When Blackmon was on the field in 2013, he was top ten talent at wide receiver. The problem was that his off the field habits keep getting him in trouble. If he gets his head on straight, he could have a monster year. Blackmon could end up being a steal if he lasts the whole season, or another bust if he's suspended again.
