A very strong trend, to be sure and the streak could continue another year; however, I am reminded of the following:

Moss was WR15 in 2005. Is that not a legit #2 WR?

Oof...makes me wonder if I'm overvaluing Britt, Holmes, or Mike Williams.

David,What would this have looked like last year; from 2001 - 2009? I'm curious which teams made the list for 2010 that were previously in the "CHI, SF, TEN" category.

pretty nice avoid list for this year, with the possible exception of Britt

Knox hit 960 last year, which keeps the Bears on the #### list, but it was a close call.

He did approach WR1 numbers over the second half of the season 566 7, I still remember the hype going into 2005.

I think there's a danger in looking a trend like this and thinking it too strongly predicts the future. Take the case of the players you named.Britt has somewhat of an upgrade at QB. Last year he was WR15 in per game scoring in my .5 PPR league, but he missed 4 games. He was on pace for 1000 yards otherwise. With those things in mind I'd say he's a fair bet to get 1000 yards if he doesn't get injured or suspended.Santonio Holmes was WR26 by ppg. He also missed 4 games and was otherwise right on pace for 1000 yards. Myself personally, I expect Sanchez's completion rate to increase and for the Jets to continue to let him throw more, so I could see his numbers going up slightly.Mike Williams it is hard to say he's seen an improvement at QB. It might be easier to say we expect him to see worse QB'ing. He also has a pair of TEs capable of taking targets away from him. He was 52nd in WR scoring. There isn't much about the situation in Seattle to think it won't be the same as in the past.So for me, 2 players out of 3 that you named have improved situations. Now I don't know how high you are projecting them to say if it's too high, but if you're talking about WR2 numbers, I don't think that 1000 yard receiver thing would sway me. There are legitimate reasons to think this could be the year for those teams.

If your question is essentially whether or not this Raider team is capable of having a fantasy relevant WR, I think Jacoby Ford already answered that during the second half of last season.
Jerry Porter has as much to do with this as Emmit Smith does for Mark Ingram's prospects this year.

I'm not sure I agree with that statement. Coaching has just as much if not more of an impact on the direction that a team will take offensively than the players on the field. And most of those teams have new coaching regimes this year.

Hard to believe Moose didn't break 1000 yards there after his last HUGE year in Carolina.

HUCKS, isn't Britt one of your go-to guys as far as breakout stars? Tennessee has a longer dry spell than Oakland. Ditto for for your Beanie Wells selection, I'm pretty sure Arizona has statistically been a wasteland for 1,000 yard rushers.I agree with you on both picks, I think they're great values; I just think it's cherrypicking to call out people for 'overvaluing' Oakland WRs for situation but make an exception for the other guys. Especially when Moore is getting Mike Williams-ish buzz, Ford flashed breakout skills last year, and Oakland's top guy in terms of targets (Zach Miller) is long gone, replaced by largely a non-receiver (Boss). It seems to me there's a lot of opportunity in Oakland this season; those 2 wrs and McFadden seem like the 'it guys' in their passing game, one that'll probably be leaned upon more with a shaky defense.

Pawned the bum off for a 2007 1st round pick which became Calvin Johnson.
