Baltimore starts the season with one of the easiest schedules for its WR’s. These teams gave up plenty of TDs and yards, and only Houston looks to be improved from last year’s defensive unit. The problem, however, will be the QB under center and the health of the offensive line. The Ravens will look to start fast for a passing offense ranked 23^rd in PaYDs and 28^th in PaTDs.

Jason Campbell has looked sharp in the preseason and they open their season against three teams that also gave up a ton of passes and ReTDs. The Giants and Saints have made improvements since last year, but they may turn into a shoot out along with Arizona. The new West Coast offense will be another system Campbell will have to learn but they added two additional WR’s in the draft.

Tampa Bay did not get Brett Favre and will look to start the season with Jeff Garcia as the starter. They need Galloway to return from injury and Michael Clayton to steep up in order to take advantage of their matchups. Ike Hilliard is a veteran that will help move the chains, but he averages just 9.9 yards per catch since 2004 which is the lowest among any WR. Antonio Bryant may also be in the mix to produce.

The Eagles have a healthy Donovan McNabb which will help the WR group tremendously. Reggie Brown’s hamstring may have him limited to start the season which will force the Eagles to look towards Jason Avant, Hank Baskett and rookie DeSean Jackson. At first glance it would appear the Eagles have a tough stretch, but they should fair well against the Rams, and division games are always good for scoring. Last year, the Eagles passed for 472 yards in two games against Dallas.

The defending Super Bowl champions face their division rival to open the season, the Washington Redskins. They then face the Rams and the Bengals which should provide tons of yards for this passing game. Last year, the offense ranked 21^st in the league in PaYDs but improved during the end of the year.

Mike Martz left for San Francisco but Detroit’s passing game will still be good. Calvin Johnson looks to be healthy for a full season and veteran Roy Williams is still reliable. Jon Kitna remains the best QB in the division. They play Atlanta and San Francisco in the first three games with a tough game against a good Green Bay defense. If Aaron Rogers struggles, they may have more opportunities to score on offense.

Vince Young has struggled in the preseason and the starting receivers remain a work in progress. They face two division opponents in the first three weeks with the opener being the toughest. The Titans were 27^th last year in PaYDs and haven’t made any significant upgrades to the WR’s other than Alge Crumpler who will help move the chains.

Aaron Rodgers has been up and down this preseason and his line hasn’t protected him through the first two games. He can now focus on the start of the season now that they won’t retire Brett Favre’s jersey. Green Bay faces two division rivals that were at the bottom of the league in pass defense last year.

The 49ers have been struggling on offense the last few years in the passing game. They’ve ranked 32^nd, 29^th and 32^nd over the past three seasons in PaYDs. Despite playing in a division that is favorable for passing, they haven’t taken advantage of these matchups. They are hoping that Isaac Bruce can come in and help this team because he knows the Martz system well. Rookie Josh Morgan looks good so far in the preseason. However, the QB situation is very unstable.

Even though the Bengals played poorly last year, they finished in the league seventh in passing offense. They bring back T.J. Houshmandzadeh and the disgruntled Chad Johnson to continue a good passing game. They face three tough games against the run which will force them to rely on throwing the ball all game. They brought back WR Chris Henry to help with injuries but he will face a four-game suspension to start the season.

Here is the Bottom 10 SOS’ for WR’s for the first three weeks of the season.
