Fantasy Football 2014 rankings and stat projections: Wide receivers /

Receivers are today what running backs were 10 years ago. Savvy owners will be investing early picks in receivers where they used to grab running backs, as wideouts have become more reliable.

Times have changed, and you don’t want to be behind the curve. Expect 10 receivers to come off the board within your draft’s first 25 picks.
