Matthew Berry adds to the chorus of voices touting the usual suspects of young wideouts, among them Jeremy Maclin, Miles Austin, Hakeem Nicks and Austin Collie.

While Collie has the most favorable schedule going forward, the Colts offense could get surprisingly crowded once WR Anthony Gonzalez returns in Week 7 (assuming he doesn’t suffer any setbacks). Between Wayne, Clark, Garcon, Collie and Gonzalez – not to mention Addai and Brown – there are suddenly plenty of seemingly viable fantasy options in Indianapolis. Good luck choosing between the second-tier Colts. Sell high on Collie or Garcon if you can.

Maclin will most likely suffer from the same crowded offense syndrome as Collie. The Eagles simply have too many options on offense for Maclin to be anything close to a reliable weekly option (see DeSean Jackson’s disappearing act last week, for instance). Furthermore, Maclin is still raw as a receiver – he came out of a Missouri offense that didn’t require him to run many routes – and simply took advantage of a vulnerable Tampa secondary with his deep speed. Only count on Maclin as a bye-week filler.

Austin and Nicks figure to have the best shot at consistent production from here on out. Both have strong chances to emerge as starters, and, as KC Joyner pointed out in Nicks’ case, both are polished enough as receivers that they should produce consistently. But most importantly, neither the Cowboys nor the Giants offense are as deep as the Colts or the Eagles, so there figure to be more opportunities for Austin and Nicks.

Not only is SB Nation Fantasy recommending some hot wide receivers for add/drop (see previous post below), but everybody is doing it. Dave RIchard at CBS Sports is recommending many of the same WR’s, but wants you to know that Austin Collie has the preferred schedule for choosing between Miles Austin, Jeremy Maclin and Collie.

Other receivers to look at: Eddie Royal and Mike Wallace.

Rookie wide receivers are usually terrible fantasy choices. They almost always need time to get used to the speed of the NFL and complexity of the rulebook.  In some cases though, an NFL offense is so powerful that rookie wide receivers can get by (at least for a while) on pure athletic ability. There are a few rookie WRs like that on the waiver wire right now. 

ADD

Austin Collie - Maybe Pierre Garcon doesn't have the WR2 slot in Indy locked up after all. The rookie pulled in 8 passes, including two for touchdowns, in a Sunday Night beating of the Titans. I know it's hard to justify picking up a player who is essentially the WR3 (after TE Dallas Clark) but anybody who pulls in more catches during a game than Reggie Wayne is worth your attention.

Andre Caldwell - His last-minute, game-winning TD looked good on the highlight reel, but Caldwell has been a regular part of the Bengals passing game. He has two games with six catches and he's had at least two catches in every single game. If the Bengals start to lean on the passing game more, Caldwell will continue to put up consistent points.

Jeremy Maclin  - Yeah, his six catch, 142 yard, 2 TD breakout on Sunday is a good reason to pick him up but don't do it just for that. Maclin has been increasing his output the for the last three weeks, with two catches in week two and four catches in week three. The return of Donovan McNabb means good things for the entire Eagles offense, incluiding Maclin.

DROP

Shaun Hill - I know the Falcons defense is tough, but 198 passing yards, no TDs and an interception? That's his fourth straight game with fewer than 200 passing yards, which just isn't going to get it done. With his next four games against Houston, Tennessee, Indianapolis and Chicago, it looks like that streak might continue for a while.

Cadillac Williams - OK, enough. His ten carry, eight rushing yard performance this week was his third game with fewer than ten rushing yards. That's worth repeating: in 60% of the games this season, Williams has fewer than ten rushing yards. There's no way you can rely on that. A 37 rushing yard day from Derrick Ward isn't a good sign either.

Trent Edwards - Man, I don't know what to do with this guy. I really liked him in the preseason, but he has just been playing like garbage with only one touchdown and five interceptions in the past three games. With J.P. Losman playing in the UFL (the what?) the Bills have former Bengal Ryan Fitzpatrick waiting in the wings. He might be entering stage left (to continue a bad cliche) very soon.
