Pros: The former Florida Gator turned in a decent rookie campaign, racking up 34 catches for 521 yards and four scores, despite some inept quarterback play. Murphy averaged 15.3 yards per catch. New offensive coordinator Hue Jackson's system should be more explosive, and they added a competent quarterback in Jason Campbell.

Cons: Murphy's training camp was delayed because of a concussion, and he'll have to make up ground learning the new offense and developing chemistry with Campbell. He also needs to find a way on to the field regularly; Chaz Schilens and Darrius Heyward-Bey are the starters.

Fantasy tip: Murphy isn't going until the end of most standard drafts; view him as a solid No. 5 wideout in PPR setups with some decent upside.
