Positives - Lelie finished 2004 with his first 1,000 yard season, and has improved his numbers every year. He had a huge yards per reception last year and if he can catch a few more balls this year, he will be in for a big season, perhaps somewhere in the 12-15 WR range. He’s tall, quick, and does well as the number two guy. I expect Lelie to have a breakout season.

Negatives - I think more has been expected of Lelie than what he has shown his first three years in the league. He’s always under-performed, and really hasn’t had that breakout year to prove that he can be THE guy.

Draft Strategy - In my mind I had to go WR here. Although Clayton and Bruce is a nice tandem, they aren’t sure things. If you don’t draft a stud WR, depth at this position is key in survivor leagues, as the 2nd and 3rd WRs are often inconsistent.
