| 6/13/2013 | Kevin White, WR, WVU |
West Virginia's White Could Contribute at WRNews: Kevin White should have an opportunity to contribute significantly at wide receiver this season, ESPN.com reports Analysis: Kevin White is a big target at 6-foot-4, and should get plenty of opportunities for West Virginia this season in a mostly inexperienced wide receiver group with the departure of Tavon Austin and Stedman Bailey. |
| 6/9/2013 | Greg Dent, WR, FSU |
FSU WR Dent ArrestedNews: Greg Dent has been arrested and charged with sexual assault, Tomahawk Nation reports. Analysis: Greg Dent has been suspended, as school policy mandates such a penalty when someone is charged with a felony. At a position of depth for the 'Noles, Dent should be an afterthought even if charges are dropped. |
| 6/5/2013 | DeWayne Peace, WR, HOU |
Peace No Longer With HoustonNews: DeWayne Peace was ruled ineligible and is no longer a member of the Houston football team, the Houston Chronicle reports. Analysis: DeWayne Peace was the team's top receiver last year, so his exit is a big opportunity for Daniel Spencer and especially Deontay Greenberry, who was considered one of the elite recruits of 2012. |
| 5/30/2013 | James Johnson, WR, WASH |
Washington's Johnson RetiringNews: James Johnson will retire from football due to his wrist injury, the AP's Curtis Crabtree reports. Analysis: James Johnson will finish his career at Washington with 68 catches for 791 yards and seven touchdowns in 30 career games. |
| 5/30/2013 | Marcus Leak, WR, MD |
Terp WR Leak Withdraws from SchoolNews: Marcus Leak has withdrawn from Maryland for the upcoming semester for personal reasons, and hopes to re-enroll in January, according to Alex Prewitt of the Washington Post. Analysis: Marcus Leak is in good academic standing, and will head home to North Carolina to be with his family. It's a tough blow for dynasty owners of Leak, who was on his way to a breakout 2012 campaign before breaking his foot. Nigel King is the biggest beneficiary of Leak's withdrawal. |
| 5/24/2013 | Kyle Prater, WR, NWEST |
Northwestern's Prater Misses Spring PracticeNews: Kyle Prater missed spring practice due to an undisclosed injury, Inside Northwestern reports. Analysis: Kyle Prater was a high-profile transfer from USC (where many analysts had him as a top-five recruit), but he didn't get much playing time last season and had just ten receptions. While this injury doesn't sound serious, it won't help him get more playing time by missing practice. He still has the size (6-5) to emerge as a red zone threat. |
| 5/23/2013 | Nick Harwell, WR, MIAOH |
Miami (OH) WR Harwell Goes to KansasNews: Nick Harwell transferred from Miami (OH) to Kansas, the Kansas City Star reports. Analysis: It's unclear whether Nick Harwell will be available for 2013 after getting kicked off the Miami (OH) team, but it will be a very interesting situation if he does play this year. Harwell was extremely productive the last three years, catching 229 passes for 3,166 yards and 23 touchdowns in just 34 games. Kansas' offense is a wreck and completed a mind boggling 47.3 percent of its passes last year, though, so Harwell will have to be truly dominant to make a mark in the box score. |
| 5/23/2013 | Robert Lockhart, WR, MIAMI |
'Canes WR Lockhart to TransferNews: Robert Lockhart has been granted his release, and will transfer from Miami, Susan Miller Degnan of the Miami Herald reports. Analysis: Robert Lockhart's departure has been long rumored over the spring, and is now official. He had a tremendous camp last August, but injuries pushed him down a crowded depth chart. |
| 5/13/2013 | Austin Hill, WR, ARIZ |
Arizona's Hill Likely Out For 2013News: Austin Hill (ACL) likely won't play in 2013, ESPN.com reports. Analysis: Austin Hill is one of the nation's elite receivers, so his probable absence is a painful loss for Arizona. |
| 4/15/2013 | Martavis Bryant, WR, CLEM |
Clemson WR Bryant Shows PotentialNews: Martavis Bryant hauled in seven passes for 110 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's spring game. Analysis: Back from suspension, and working hard to secure a starting job, Martavis Bryant is a top breakout candidate for 2013. |
| 4/15/2013 | Sammy Watkins, WR, CLEM |
Clemson WR Watkins Ready To Bounce BackNews: Sammy Watkins capped a terrific spring with a seven catch, 156 yard, two touchdown performance in Saturday's spring game. Analysis: Sammy Watkins has moved over to the departed DeAndre Hopkins slot in the Tigers' offense, and looks poised for a tremendous bounce back junior season. |
| 4/15/2013 | Sean Tapley, WR, UNC |
UNC WR Tapley Explosive in SpringNews: Sean Tapley caught three passes for 108 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's spring game. Analysis: With Erik Highsmith and Jheranie Boyd gone, Sean Tapley has a shot to be useful in 2013. He'll likely start opposite Quinshad Davis in a spread attack, and can make big plays happen. |
| 4/15/2013 | Malcolm Lewis, WR, MIAMI |
Miami WR Lewis Set to Return in AugustNews: Malcolm Lewis (ankle) caught a scripted, undefended 75-yard touchdown pass in Miami's spring game on Saturday, and should be fully healthy come training camp time in August, notes the Miami Herald. Analysis: Malcolm Lewis' recovery from a horrific broken ankle is ahead of schedule, and the team punctuated his return with an unguarded pass. Miami has plenty of depth at receiver, but Lewis' return so quickly is terrific news for his long term value. |
| 4/15/2013 | Rashawn Scott, WR, MIAMI |
Miami WR Scott Off Suspension, Shines in SpringNews: Rashawn Scott capped a solid spring with five catches for 95 yards and two touchdowns in the 'Canes spring game on Saturday. Analysis: Rashawn Scott abused starting corner Tracy Howard for both scores, and as long as he can keep his head straight, appears poised for a breakout 2013 campaign. |
| 3/11/2013 | Cody Hoffman, WR, BYU |
BYU's Hoffman Recovering From SurgeryNews: Cody Hoffman will miss the spring after undergoing surgery to repair a torn shoulder labrum, according to BYU reporter Robbie Bullough. Analysis: It appears as if this will be close to a non-issue in the big picture. Cody Hoffman is an experienced player who will be ready to go in 2013 so long as he gets some fall practice time in. |
| 3/6/2013 | Darius Millines, WR, ILL |
Illinois Suspends MillinesNews: Illinois suspended Darius Millines for a violation of team rules, ESPN reports. Analysis: Darius Millines' status with the team will be reevaluated in May. It's not clear what his status might be going forward. |
| 2/25/2013 | Michael Campanaro, WR, WAKE |
Wake WR Campanaro Likely To Miss SpringNews: Michael Campanaro will likely sit out spring practice while recovering from ankle surgery, according to ESPN.com. Analysis: "Camp(anaro) is going to have some ankle surgery on a bone chip floating around so we're going to miss him," said offensive coordinator Steed Lobotzke. It doesn't sound like anything serious, so there's no reason to downgrade Camampanaro this far away from draft day. |
| 2/11/2013 | Tracy Moore, WR, OKLAST |
Oklahoma State's Moore Still AroundNews: Although he showed up on the list of players participating in the NFL Combine, Tracy Moore (ankle) will in fact return to Oklahoma State in 2013, The Oklahoman reports. Analysis: It's not clear why Tracy Moore showed up on the Combine list, but he obtained a medical redshirt back in November and will return to Oklahoma State in 2013, as planned. Josh Stewart, Charlie Moore and Blake Jackson will all command a lot of passes, so Moore isn't necessarily a great fantasy target next year outside of Big 12-only leagues. |
| 1/14/2013 | TJ Jones, WR, ND |

Analysis: Unfortunately for DaVaris Daniels and Notre Dame, most of these numbers came after the outcome of the game was already decided. |
