Yes, people. Real NFL football is starting tomorrow, and we couldn't be more excited about it here at eDraft. As will be the case throughout the entie season, we will make sure to provide our readers with the best possible content to help you guys succeed in fantasy football. 

Here are our Week 1 wide receiver rankings, top-five style. 
 

1. Julio Jones, Atlanta Falcons

One of the best pass offenses in the entire league going up against one of the best pass defenses in the NFL. Why can't we start every Atlanta skill-position player against the New Orleans Saints this week? After all, streaming like this could work on a week-to-week basis against some of the worst defenses in the NFL. 

As it is, Jones is our choice as the top fantasy receiver for Week 1. 

He is going up against a Saints' defense that yielded an average of 28 fantasy points to starting wide receivers last season, which ranked them dead last in the NFL in that category. Equally as important, opposing quarterbacks averaged nearly 300 yards and two scores against the Saints' defense in 2012. Without many decent additions to the secondary and with major pass-rushing issues in its new 3-4 scheme, New Orleans defense will be slow out of the gate this year. 

For his part, Jones struggled to an extent against the Saints last season. He put up just nine receptions and didn't score a touchdown in two games against the Falcons' division rival. Don't expect those numbers to repeat this year. 

Projected Statistics: 8 receptions, 135 yards and one touchdown 

2. Dez Bryant, Dallas Cowboys

Tony Romo has found himself a new favorite target. Bryant was the No. 1 overall fantasy receiver in the second half of the 2012 regular season, which is utterly ridiculous considering what Calvin Johnson did with the Detroit Lions. If the preseason is any indication, Bryant will pick up where he left off last year. 

Despite limited playing time, Bryant caught 13 of the 14 passes thrown in his direction for 183 yards and one score in the four preseason games he took part in. 

Dallas opens up against a lackluster New York Giants secondary that has been ravaged by injuries and struggles over the past couple seasons. They gave up the sixth-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers last season and yielded over 254 yards and 26 touchdown passes to quarterbacks. Bryant has put up 473 yards and four scores in six career games against the Giants, including an average of nearly 100 yards per outing last season. Expect triple-digit yardage totals and at least one score Sunday night. 

Projected Statisics: 8 receptions, 125 yards and one touchdown 

3. Calvin Johnson, Detroit Lions

The consensus No. 1 overall fantasy receiver going up against a lackluster Minnesota Vikings pass defense and we don't have him on top of this list. Simple reasoning for that. Matthew Stafford has relied so much on Johnson over the past few seasons that teams will continue to shift focus in his direction, and by that I mean three defensive backs, on a consistent basis. His five touchdowns on 199 targets didn't represent a great fantasy ratio.

With all that said, Johnson will be a top-five fantasy wide receiver option every single time he steps on to the field this season. His 3,600-plus receiving yards since the start of 2011 represents the NFL record for a two-year span. While Johnson is averaging just 59 yards and 0.5 scores in 11 career outings against Minnesota, he did put up 12 receptions for 207 yards in his second outing against the Vikings last year.

Projected Statistics: 8 receptions, 120 yards and one touchdown

4. Reggie Wayne, Indianapolis Colts

Start everyone and anyone against the Oakland Raiders' defense this season. Okay, that might be going a bit too far, but you have to wonder how they'll be able to stop skill-position players on a consistent basis in 2013. Couple that with Wayne's re-emergence back to prominance last season and we could be looking at an outstanding fantasy performance in Week 1. Oakland gave up 28 touchdowns compared to 11 interceptions last season for a quarterback rating that nearly reached triple digits. It also gave up nearly 23 fantasy points per outing. 

Projected Statistics: 6 receptions, 95 yards and one touchdown 

5. Antonio Brown, Pittsburgh Steelers

While Brown isn't going to be a WR1 option throughout the duration of the 2013 season, he does represent top-five value against the Tennessee Titans this week. Pittsburgh is taking on a Titans defense that ranked in the bottom third of the NFL against wide receivers and yielded 31 touchdown passes to opposing quarterbacks. 

Brown now takes over for Mike Wallace as the Steelers' No. 1 wide receiver and should be seeing a whole bunch of targets on a consistent basis. Considering that Brown was targeted only 98 times and came down with the ball nearly 70 percent of the time last season, an increase in targets will make him a solid fantasy guy. Going up against Tennessee's lackluster secondary will only help matters.  

Projected Statistics: 6 receptions, 90 yards and one touchdown 

Other Notables: Anquan Boldin (San Francisco 49ers), DeSean Jackson (Philadelphia Eagles), Roddy White (Atlanta Falcons) and Brandon Marshall (Miami Dolphins).
