There are many WR’s that have the ability to put together a solid campaign, but these 5 are sure to have a good season in 2014.
1. Tavon Austin
This second year WR put together a solid 2013 campaign, considering he was catching passes from his backup for more than half of the season. The addition of Kenny Britt, and the attention Jared Cook brings, to go along with a solid running attack, should give Austin many favorable matchups against much slower LB’s. His ability to make big plays with his electrifying speed should make him a gem in 2014, and a nice target for Sam Bradford.
2. Cordarrelle Patterson
With a year under his belt, Patterson should have a successful season in 2014. His route running is improved, and his breakaway speed will allow him to be a serious deep threat. Put that together with his dangerous return skills, and Patterson could be looking at a 10+ TD season.
3. Sammy Watkins
With the departure of their top receiver Stevie Johnson, Watkins will have huge shoes to fill, and I believe he will fill those needs. He’s a possession receiver with big playmaking ability. Look for Watkins to get many targets, and put together a 1,000 yd season receiving.
4. Kendall Wright
The departure of Chris Johnson has been very kind to Kendall Wright. Tennessee seems to be going to a more pass-happy offense, one that Jake Locker played well in at Washington. With more targets, and the loss of Kenny Britt, look for Kendall Wright to shine in 2014.
5. Jeremy Maclin
Having to produce in the league’s fastest offense isn’t easy to do, but it is right up Maclin’s alley. The former Mizzou Tiger played in a similar spread offense in college. With the departure of Desean Jackson, and many eyes focusing on Riley Cooper, look for Maclin to put together an above average season in 2014.
