last year. Despite being sapped of his explosiveness, Pitta caught 20 passes for 169 yards and a score.

Witten reached 850 receiving yards for the seventh straight season. He’s topped 750 yards for 10 straight years. Witten is as consistent as they come. He had his fewest receptions (73) since 2006, but he finished with eight touchdowns.

Rudolph (foot) was limited to eight games last year and subjected to five games with Christian Ponder at the helm. With Matt Cassel at quarterback and new offensive coordinator Norv Turner in the mix, look for much better things from Rudolph.

10. Jordan Reed, Washington Redskins

Reed caught 45 passes for 499 yards and three touchdowns, which extrapolates to 80 receptions, 887 yards and five scores in a full season. Unfortunately,Reed was limited to nine games because of concussions. Reed could finish much higher, but risk of further concussions hurts his value.

11. Zach Ertz, Philadelphia Eagles

Ertz caught 36 passes for 469 yards and four touchdowns last year as a rookie. All four of his touchdowns came in the second half of the season. Look for a step forward in Ertz’s second year, particularly with DeSean Jackson’s 82 catches for 1,332 yards and nine touchdowns up for grabs.

12. Martellus Bennett, Chicago Bears

Bennett caught 65 passes last year for 759 yards and five touchdowns, giving him averages of 60 receptions for 692.5 yards and five scores over the past two seasons.

Green caught 17 passes for 376 yards and three touchdowns in his first season of
