Positives - Eight FBG writers that I respect (and one I don’t) see Boldin as being undervalued this year. People forget that Boldin had one of the greatest rookie years ever and finished as the #4 ranked fantasy WR in 2003. Last year he posted serviceable numbers despite returning from a serious knee injury and running after wound ducks from John Navarre and Shaun King. Warner should definite improve the quantity and quality of Boldin’s receiving opportunities.

Negatives - Fitzgerald could blossom into the primary WR for the Cardinals as he definitely has a better pedigree. While the QB situation in Arizona has improved, without solid o-line play in the desert, Warner could end up being the proverbial deer in the phoenix.

Draft Strategy - With my RB situation well in hand, it was time to load up on some WRs. When reviewing the FBG rankings, I liked Boldin as well as any of the nine WRs ranked in front of him.
