Traditionally, drafting a rookie wide receiver for your fantasy team is akin to buying a lottery ticket. The odds are against you finding a productive addition to your team. That method of thinking was tested last year with the emergence of seventh rounder Marques Colston of the Saints. Still, most rational thinking fantasy owners wait until a receiver's third year in the league before selecting one with a high-round pick. Here's my baker's dozen, along with the top tight end, entering the league this season:

Georgia Tech
Stats: 76 receptions, 1,202 yards, 15 TDs
Comment: Considered by many to be the best player in the Draft, Johnson is by far the best receiver. He seems to have it all: speed, size, hands and leaping ability. Johnson has a 45-inch vertical jump. He is essentially a Terrell Owens with a positive attitude. Admission of marijuana use should have no effect on his draft position. However, being drafted by the Lions may have an effect on his fantasy draft position in many leagues.

Ohio State
Stats: 59 receptions, 781 yards, 9 TDs
Comment: A big-play receiver who can go the distance any time the ball is in his hands. Ginn will be an immediate impact punt and kick returner in the NFL. Missing the combine and OSU's Pro Day might push him to the mid-first round, unless the Miami Dolphins see him as Wes Welker's replacement.

Tennessee
Stats: 71 receptions, 1,298 yards, 11 TDs
Comment: Has great speed and can make defenders miss after the catch. Hands are somewhat suspect. Was only a starter for primarily one season with the Vols. Has a 37.5-inch vertical and ran a 4.39-second 40-yard dash time at the NFL Combine. Meachem is gaining ground on Ginn and just might be the second receiver taken in the Draft. Could go to Tennessee Titans, unless Ginn is still available.

Miami
Stats: 40 receptions, 489 yards, 1 TD
Comment: The best tight end prospect in the draft, and the only one to make my list of receivers. Couldn't catch a cold at Miami, often dropping the few passes which were delivered on target by Miami's suspect quarterbacks. Since declaring for the Draft, Olsen has quieted critics big-time by lighting up Miami's Pro Day and the NFL Combine. Will continue the 'Canes first round draft day streak, probably by going to the Carolina Panthers.

Louisiana State
Stats: 65 receptions, 990 yards, 12 TDs
Comment: His 4.51-second 40-yard dash time at LSU's Pro Day should propel him into the first round, perhaps to the Chicago Bears. Bowe has the blazing speed to go down-field and the guts to go over the middle, but tends to take an occasional play off. Excellent body control will make him a consistent red-zone threat.

Southern California
Stats: 70 receptions, 1,015 yards, 12 TDs
Comment: Note to Dwayne: skipping the Combine cost you a bundle of money. Running a 4.62 on USC's Pro Day didn't help either. Has plenty of big game experience. Just ask Michigan how much of an impact Jarrett has in big games: He had 11 receptions for 205 yards and two touchdowns in last year's Rose Bowl. Proven to be a consistent producer. If he can get over himself he'll be a long-term producer in the NFL.

South Carolina
Stats: 72 receptions, 1,090 yards, 10 TDs
Comment: Could have been a Top 10 pick in 2008 had he not declared early. A redshirt sophomore who is short on experience but long on potential. Had 11 100-yard games and 2,233 total receiving yards in his two seasons playing for the "Old Ball Coach."

Washington State
Stats: 41 receptions, 600 yards, 7 TDs
Comment: Great route runner with speed who nearly came out last year. And perhaps he should have as his 2005 stats were better: 62 catches for 1,097 yards and 13 scores. His stock has risen as of late with a 4.32 time at the NFL Combine.

Southern California
Stats: 71 receptions, 1,083 yards, 9 TDs
Comment: Played behind Mike Williams and Keary Colbert at USC. Has the ability to beat defenders off the line and will go over the middle. Catches un-catchable balls and drops catchable ones. Probably will not make you forget that other Steve Smith who plays for the Carolina Panthers.

Ohio State
Stats: 51 receptions, 734 yards, 8 TDs
Comment: Could be the second coming of Wes Welker. A Rhodes Scholar candidate, he has excellent hands and can go into the middle of the field. More of a possession receiver, as Gonzalez is not going to beat NFL defenders after the catch.

Louisiana State
Stats: 56 receptions, 836 yards, 4 TDs
Comment: Runs great routes, has great hands and is excellent after the catch, but shies away from the middle of the field. Underproductive at LSU, will probably impact as a returner before he does as a receiver.

Lane College
Stats: 68 receptions, 822 yards, 6 TDs
Comment: Jacoby could be this season's version of Marques Colston. Has all the physical tools you look for in a receiver but he's short on experience against the big timers. Those situations didn't stop Jerry Rice and Terrell Owens from being big-time NFL stars. Lane College also produced the late Fred Lane a few years back.

Notre Dame
Stats: 78 receptions, 1,017 yards, 12 TDs
Comment: Best receiver the Chicago Cubs have ever had. Although some NFL team might take a late-round flyer on him, Samardzija is apparently passing on a NFL career, so fantasy owners should pass as well.
