I like Colston's potential the best of this group, with his combination of size, speed, and opportunity (particularly in the red zone).

I say Colston in a landslide. He is the only one of this group that is the #1 WR on his team.

Gabriel and Reggie Williams might both be...

Colston is my TE in our Yahoo league. Couldn't be happier.

I was hoping I'd find this out today. Thanks.

Reggie does look a lot more comfortable this year. It also probably helps that Leftwich has improved his level of play. I'm liking the future of Jax's O more and more each week.

I have only seen Berrian, Williams, Cotchery, Gabriel, and Furrey.
Of those five, I like Williams by a fair amount. I'm a sucker for talent, and Williams is the best of the bunch in that regard. I think he has NFL WR1 potential, and w/ Jones around he won't see too many double teams. As far as fantasy goes, I think he's the most likely to post respectable WR2 or good WR3 numbers for the remainder of the season. His targets are high, his catch/target ratio is decent (a little under 2/3), and he's been getting decent TD looks.

Yes, Gabriel is one who I think can surprise. It sounds like Brady likes him as his #1 WR. Now that he knows the offense and is starting, Gabriel should move up the rankings the rest of the year.After spending nearly all my cap money on other positions in our auction draft, I'm very happy to have picked up Colston, Berrian, and Gabriel as FA's rather than spending big money on disapointments like Chad Johnson and Randy Moss. This year, this strategy of waiting on WR's is paying off nicely so far.
THE UNDERCOVER BROTHA

3rd year man Reggie Williams seems to be taking over the lead role in Jax while it looks like Matt and Wilford has been taking a few steps backwards.
I think he is the true #1 wr option of these listed.
Colsten has Bush getting a ton of targets/rec as well as Horn.
Cotchery is another i like alot but also has Coles there, whom Penny have a connection with.
Jennings is interesting as Driver will get doubled and this 4.3 guy can use his speed to recieve a ton of rec's as Farve is in his gunslinger mode....look out, he has his confidence back, he will try and chunk it for 300+ every game and Jennings will get a nice share of it.
Berrian (same as above with Jennings only Grossman may not throw it as much as they most likely will have a lead and run the ball alot to finish off teams.)
Colsten will be the FAV here as he maybe looked as Brees new toy and we all know how lethal that can be.....i think he is also. All these guys are nice playable options right now as wr2/3 and flex options.

I think Matt Jones is the #1 WR in Jax when he's back 100% healthy. To me, Colston's more of a #1 WR than Reggie Williams, and Gabriel may be, too. Williams also has a similar concern as Berrian if their defense and running game return to form. I don't think Leftwich will throw for close to 300 yards and multiple TD's very often, whereas Grossman has thrown for over 250 yards in every game until last night (232 yards), even with their defense shutting teams down. Leftwich has 893 yards and 5 TD's, while Grossman has 1061 yards and 8 TD's, while Chicago has only given up 29 points vs. Jacksonville's 75.The good thing about Berrian is he had his 100+ yards and TD last night in a game where they had a big lead and won 37-6. They were already up 27-6 late in the 3rd quarter when he had his 40-yard TD catch.

Without a doubt, Colston. Berrian close on his heels.
Berrian's a speedster, so when Rex is throwing bombs, they're to him. He may have a higher TD final number than Colston. But, particularly in PPR leagues, Colston is going to be much more consistent. He's Brees' go-to-guy. He's the new Antonio Gates for Brees because of his size (6'4", 230).
