Michael Crabtree

He may face Richard Sherman twice a year, but our algorithm is incredibly bullish on Michael Crabtree. Provided he stays healthy through the season, he's going to be a younger, faster, more reliable version of teammate Anquan Boldin. And with Vernon Davis occupying space up the seam, the sky is the limit as far as what Crabtree will be able to do on the outside.

He's currently drafting at a number 21 wideout according to average draft position data; that's at least two rounds too low. Cordarrelle Patterson? Please!

Our projection: 89 receptions, 1,300 yards, 7 touchdowns, WR12
