I'm also excluding some guys like B. Marshall, Bowe, D. Williams, Crayton, etc. that were highly likely to be owned already in most 12-team leagues and larger.

A few of the top choices I think are there:

Toomer - lots of targets, but will potentially losing Eli affect his value at all in the short term

Northcutt - again, high targets, should have converted more of those. Will those targets continue or will one of the other JAX receivers step up

Burleson - With Hackett out a while, it sounds like he'll have the opportunity

Carter - Looked like more than just a deep threat Sunday. Does he have a good chance of holding Colbert and Jarrett off to secure the #2 job?

I think Randle El should be avoided. Running team. Moss and Cooley will get more looks and Randle El should regress back to what we would expect.

McDonald got a lot of targets too, but as a WR4 on that team, I doubt he'll be consistent, even for a pass first team.

A few to keep an eye on I think:

Robinson - I think he looks like he could become the #1 down the line a bit, maybe sooner than later, but Joey stinks, and he spread the ball around quite a bit.

Hurd - He'll likely pick up the deep routes with the loss of Glenn, but Crayton will likely be the #2. Still, he could have some value if they try to employ some sort of #2 by commitee, or if they continue to get into shootouts like this.

 
Lots of votes, no responses yet. Anyone care to elaborate?

McDonald surprisingly getting a lot of votes. And surprised so few for Northcutt, since he looks like he'll get the most chances of any JAX receivers.

 
Toomer has been a very successful WR in the league but has had injury problems the past couple of years. He looks healthy now and is going to get his share of looks. He is very effecient with the looks he gets also.

:confused: Battle may end up being the most targeted receiver in SF for several weeks. Obviously Jackson will receive the most attention at first, but Battle is showing that his QB trusts him.I also think Demetrius Williams may not be owned in all that many leagues. He got a lot of targets, including two end zone targets. That speaks volumes.

Agree on both players. I would have these two at the top of the list if I thought they were widely available. In the 4 leagues I play in, 3 of which are PPR, roster sizes of 16, 17, 17, and 25, Williams and Battle were both drafted in all 4, so not available on waivers. So that's why I chose not to include them, along with other guys like Marshall who was drafted in every league, or Crayton who was either drafted or an early waiver pickup following the Glenn news, etc.
