Pros: Driver continued to defy age last year; he recorded his sixth straight 1,000-yard campaign and the seventh in his last eight years. He says he feels better after undergoing scopes on both his knees in January. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers is among the best in the league, and Green Bay has a strong running game that takes pressure off the passing attack.

Cons: Having so many options in this offense also means it's tough for one to stand out. James Jones and Jordy Nelson have both impressed this offseason; any expansion in their numbers could see the opposite in Driver's. Sure, Driver says his knees feel fine, but when a 35-year-old has both knees scoped, it has to raise some red flags.

Fantasy tip: As good as the youngsters might be, don't discount Driver; he doesn't totally rely on his speed and should be good for another 65-plus receptions. He should approach 1,000 yards again. There isn't a lot of upside, but he's consistent and makes for a solid No. 3 wideout. On average, Driver goes in the sixth round.
