The new pariahs of Fantasy Football are older WR's. Despite consistent - even improved- production from many of the old guard, these guys continue to fall in drafts as the Nate Burleson's, Andre Johnson's and Reggie Brown's of the world move up the rankings. You can count on most, if not all, of these guys to outperform their ADP's this year.
1) Joe Horn: Age - 34: With improved QB play and a potent two-headed running game, Horn is suddenly in a potentially explosive offense. To make matters even more interesting, they traded the only other established WR on the roster. Who else is going to catch passes on this team (except for Reggie Bush)? Devery Henderson still isnt close to making a difference. With an ADP of 5.6 (WR #20), I think Horn is going about a round too late. Sure, people are scared by his age and nagging injuries, but the team obviously still has faith in him based on their current roster makeup. I think he will land in the top 15, and may even sneak into the top 12.
2) Joey Galloway: Age - 34: Galloway put up top 8-10 numbers last year yet he still falls regularly into round five or six. He draws so little attention that people dont even talk about him in threads. Hes still super fast and has turned into an excellent red-zone threat. Whats not to like? That hes 32? With an ADP of 6.1, hes going about 1-2 rounds too late, IMO.
3) Issac Bruce: Age - 33: Injuries slowed him down last year, but hes still a starting at WR on a potent Rams offense. Moreover, hes just one year removed from a 1300 yard season. Keep and eye on his hamstring; as long as it holds up, his current ADP is 10.11, or WR40, is baffling.
4) Eddie Kennison: Age - 33: He's still the #1 WR on a Fanatsy Juggernaut. Plus, in recent years, hes become a MUCH more consistent fanatsy performer. His ADP is 8.7 and WR #30
5) Terry Glenn: Age - 32: His situation is somewhat different from the others, since the arrival of TO clouds the picture in Dallas. Still. hes developed a great relationship with Drew Bledsoe and they work hard to get him the ball (screens, reverses, etc). Coming off an 1100 yard season, he was available in my draft today late into the 10th round. While its not a slam dunk that he will outperform his ADP, he still represents nice value and should at the very least live upto his draft position.
One other guy that bares mentioning here is Mushin Muhhammed. I dont have him on the list because the Bears still have QB issues. Having said that, it wouldnt surprise me Greise takes over for Grossman at some point in the year. If that happens, Mushin could be a GREAT value in the second half of the season.

But let's keep this old WR thing on the downlow. 
Unless you have a start 1 WR league or you have great WRs, I see no reason why he shouldn't be in you lineup every week. According to FBGs, he was ranked #24 in 2003, #18 in 2004 (in 14 games) and #18 in 2005.Kennison has 11 100+ total yard games in the past 2 years (30 games), or a little more than 1 every 3 games. Not bad for a WR going that late. To put that in perspective, Boldin has 11 100+ total yard games in the past 2 years (26 games). Not trying to say Kennison is as good, he isn't, but I just took Boldin since I think he has pretty much been a stud and will be drafted way earlier.Kennison has been a WR2 for the past 3 years and a good WR2 the last 2 years. With a guy like Kennison, outguessing yourself is a bad thing. He is not a Torry Holt in terms of consistency, but he has been good enough that you should play him every week.
