Ten boom-or-bust wide receivers

High-risk/high-reward wide receivers were on my mind today after the recent hype being thrown at Marques Colston, Ted Ginn, Chad Ochocinco and Percy Harvin. That got me thinking, "Who might be the Top-10 boom-or-bust wide receivers for this season?" Let's give it a shot:

1. Brandon Marshall – A certified WR1 when not in the back of a police cruiser, Marshall faces questions about the hip surgery, a possible suspension and an ongoing squabble with the Broncos.
2. Marques Colston – Another true WR1 when healthy, Colston is coming off microfracture surgery on his troublesome left knee. That makes two straight offseasons with knee surgery.
3. Dwayne Bowe – Could be a target monster after the Tony Gonzalez trade, but the Chiefs offense figures to struggle to score points this season. We're going to have to change his nickname to "Snacks" if he doesn't stop eating.
4. Roy Williams – Flashed undeniable talent early in his Lions career, but he never could put it all together to emerge as a reliable fantasy stud. Will that change as Romo’s No. 1 receiver?
5. Chad Ocho Cinco – Now going on age 32, is Ocho a prime bounce-back candidate, or he is simply past his prime? As always with the Bengals, there’s a danger of the whole team going in the tank by October.

6. Lee Evans – Vicious double teams and a poor passing attack have kept this difference-making talent under wraps. Will T.O.’s presence help or hurt his numbers?
7. Antonio Bryant – His knucklehead potential is off the charts, but he showed last season that his talent is as well. Quarterback choice could have a dramatic effect on his numbers.
8. Devin Hester – Emerged as a reliable WR3 down the stretch last season and now has a major upgrade at QB. Can he handle the attention that comes with the No. 1 receiver role?
9. Ted Ginn Jr. – He’s been a standout this offseason, but that shouldn’t be surprising with no contact allowed. Ginn has to prove he can graduate to reliable target/No. 1 receiver for the Dolphins.
10. Percy Harvin – The skeptics will be out in full force simply because he’s a rookie, but it’s tough for coaches to keep explosive playmakers chained to the sidelines. Chilly has already admitted that he’s “Wowed” by Harvin’s talent, but he will get the ball in the homerun threat's hands consistently?

I would never pick up a Saints WR for my fantasy team. Brees spreads the ball around too much for any 1 player to stand out too much.
