Has there ever been so many "Wildcards" going into a season?

For me the list goes something like this:

Marshall
T. Jones
Addai
Schaub
Calvin
Willie Parker
Westbrook
McFadden
Favre
Braylon Edwards
LT
LJ
Portis
Antonio Bryant

shall I go on? :D Out of curiousity Russ, why do you have Calvin as a "wildcard"?? :confused:
[/QUOTE]Billy, while Calvin was amazing last year even in double coverage and with an average QB, I'm worried that with teams having a full off-season to gameplan for him that he will not live up to his ADP.

While I think with better-than-average QB play he will, it is still a wildcard IMO. I think his chances are better with Culpepper than Stafford.

Furthermore, I think the same holds true for Andre Johnson, maybe moreso.

AJ is terrific, but if China Doll misses more than 2 games, I see AJ coming nowhere near his current ADP. He is a great route runner in an offense that requires accuracy. I don't think Orlovsky gushes with accuracy.

Whereas, Calvin was the benefit of many jump balls from the big O.

imho
if your talking "wildcards", to me it has to be marshall. we're talking about a top ten WR, and as of right now, we as fantasy players have no idea what the situation is. it's not like he's injured or injury prone. his stock is falling as i'm typing. if he comes back tomorrow in denver, will his value be where it was? or where it should be? that's the unknown as of now.

Think Bush goes late 3rd early 4th Also think that D Jackson is a huge wild card who is being drafted late 4th or 5th and could be a top 10 WR this year Just an opinion.
