Kenny Britt-- Has played increasingly better for the Titans especially with Vince Young taking over at QB. Chris Johnson is the main cog in the offense and both his and Young's running abilities should keep double teams away from him.
Austin Collie-- Seems to have similar work ethic to Peyton Manning himself. Across from Reggie Wayne and a clear third in the pecking order behind both Wayne and Dallas Clark he should always see one on one coverage. Anthony Gonzalez returns next season, which could decrease his overall numbers.
Michael Crabtree-- Holdout cost him time to adjust to the NFL and learn the 49ers playbook but seems to have the talent to match his ego. Singletary (Not a good X's and O's coach, seems conflicted about shotgun vs. smashmouth football he prefers), Gore (Singletary wants offense to run though him, Vernon Davis (undisputed red zone option) and Alex Smith (The shot gun limits his options and he hasn't proven to me that he is the 49ers long term answer) all worry me in different ways, but Crabtree's talent is undeniable so he may just be able to overcome them.
Percy Harvin-- The 2009 drafts' most dynamic talent, he has been the top rookie FFB WR. Combine his kick return skills and big play ability and he may just be scratching the surface. However, a boatload of WRs in Minnesota and a decent TE and Adrian Peterson could hamper stats next year. Migraines becoming problem too, but biggest concern though is whether he can sustain high level of play if Brett Farve does not play for the Vikings next season.
Jeremy Maclin-- Up and down year, but there is no denying his overall talent. With Desean Jackson emerging as a WR1 so Maclin could see even more opportunity in 2010. Eagles are the model of consistency in the NFL so as long as Andy Reid and Donovan MacNabb are there he should be a good WR option. Must improve consistency to match other WR's in this group.
Hakeem Nicks-- Has passed Mario Manningham in the starting lineup and combined with the stability the Giants offer, the emergence of Steve Smith, and the Giants relying more of the pass than run (similar to SD as LT2 regresses) Nicks could be a prime breakout candidate for 2010. Drops too many passes so he needs to improve concentration.
