For those owners that play in leagues which reward points per reception, we offer up this article for your viewing pleasure. These players are good fantasy players to begin with and should hold even higher value in PPR leagues across the country.


Running Backs

Jacquizz Rodgers (Oregon State)
The “Quizz” was a monster last year grabbing a ridiculous 78 balls out of the backfield. Expect another big year from Rodgers in 2010.
2009: 78 Rec, 522 Yds
2010 Projection*: 69 Rec, 536 Yds


Baron Batch (Texas Tech)
Batch has been a solid receiving option averaging an impressive 51 catches per season over the past two years. He should once again be a threat in the passing game this fall.
2009: 57 Rec, 395 Yds
2010 Projection
*: 41 Rec, 308 Yds

Charles Clay (Tulsa)
Clay is a called a running back in the media guide, but he does more damage receiving than he does on the ground most of the time. He has averaged 49 receptions during his first three seasons and could easily duplicate that in 2010.
2009: 39 Rec, 530 Yds
2010 Projection
*: 41 Rec, 495 Yds

Kendall Hunter (Oklahoma State)

Hunter has a career high of only 22 receptions, but he will be playing in a new offense that heavily features the running back position. He should have his best year catching the ball in 2010 and could threaten 50 catches.
2009: 11 Rec, 83 Yds
2010 Projection*: 52 Rec, 532 Yds

Bryce Beall (Houston)
He has averaged 33 receptions a season during his two years on campus. With Charles Simms out for this season, a bump in receptions could be in store for Beall this fall.
2009: 32 Rec, 311 Yds
2010 Projection*: 39 Rec, 487 Yds

DeMarco Murray (Oklahoma)
Murray has always been a receiving threat out of the backfield and that trend should continue this season. He could be the focal point of the Sooners offense and might even set a career high in receptions during his senior season.
2009: 41 Rec, 522 Yds
2010 Projection
*: 43 Rec, 487 Yds


Wide Receivers


James Cleveland (Houston)
Cleveland was a fantasy force last season reeling in 104 balls. He could easily once again flit with 100 catches in the Cougars high-powered offense.
2009: 104 Rec, 1,214 Yds
2010 Projection
*: 107 Rec, 1,238 Yds

Greg Salas (Hawaii)
Salas was a beast in PPR leagues last season racking up an imposing 106 receptions. He might not catch as many this fall with Rodney Bradley back in the fold, but he should still be top notch in PPR leagues.
2009: 106 Rec, 1,590 Yds
2010 Projection
*: 95 Rec, 1,425 Yds

Ryan Broyles (Oklahoma)
Broyles exploded onto the scene with 89 grabs in 2009. He could approach or even pass that total this fall in an improved Oklahoma offense.
2009: 89 Rec, 1,120 Yds
2010 Projection
*: 91 Rec, 1,168 Yds

James Rodgers (Oregon State)
The “other” Rodgers showed his skills last fall when he hauled in 91 receptions. He should continue to sine in 2010 and be a top notch wide out in PPR leagues.
2009: 91 Rec, 1,034 Yds
2010 Projection
*: 88 Rec, 986 Yds

Dwayne Harris (East Carolina)
Harris set a personal best last year by snagging 83 receptions. With an offense geared towards more passing in 2010, Harris could be even better.
2009: 83 Rec, 978 Yds
2010 Projection*: 88 Rec, 1,077 Yds

Alexander Torres (Texas Tech)
Torres hauled in a team leading 67 catches last season. He was a star in the spring and could really have value in PPR leagues in 2010.
2009: 67 Rec, 806 Yds
2010 Projection
*: 93 Rec, 1,147 Yds

Keith Smith (Purdue)
Smith had an impressive 2009 campaign hauling in 91 catches. He should hold excellent value once again this fall in PPR leagues.
2009: 91 Rec, 1,100 Yds
2010 Projection
*: 86 Rec, 1,039 Yds

Aldrick Robinson (SMU)
With the departure of Emmanuel Sanders, there are 98 receptions up for grabs and Robinson would seem to be in line to grab a bunch of them. An 85-catch season is certainly within reach for Robinson this fall.
2009:  47 Rec, 800 Yds
2010 Projection
*: 87 Rec, 1,188 Yds
