Anyone who has played fantasy football knows that drafting rookies and expecting a fantasy impact in their first year is a hit or miss proposition.  The 2008 season was no different than any other with rookie wide receivers, who are known to have a bigger impact in their second or third year - and that theory held true again in 2008.

The Fantasy Sports Forum grades the top wide receivers from 2008, with the round and overall position on where they were drafted.  Each player received a grade based on their fantasy impact.  The players are listed in the order of where they were picked in the NFL Draft.

Donnie Avery, Rams: 2nd round/33rd overall
Avery started 12 games but had a very inconsistent rookie year.  He hauled in 54 balls and totaled 684 yards with 3 receiving TDs (and one rushing TD).  Not great, but not bad either.  Showed flashes of someone who can have a bigger impact in year two.
Grade: B
