Fantasy Outlook:

Why you should draft Anquan Boldin:  Last season, Boldin hauled in 89 passes and had 11 scores despite missing four games.  In fact, he had three games where he hit double digits in receptions and had over 100 receiving yards in three contests. For his career, Boldin has finished a season with over 100 receptions on two occasions, and he has had over 1000 receiving yards four times. 

Why you may want to stay away from drafting Anquan Boldin: Boldin is a big receiver that isn’t afraid to go over the middle, but that toughness got him injured for a few weeks last year.  Boldin has only been able to play in all 16 games twice in his six year career.

Bottom Line: Much like teammate, Larry Fitzgerald, Boldin is in the upper echelon of fantasy receivers.  He would be a steal in the third round or beyond.
