Fantasy Outlook:

Why you should draft Larry Fitzgerald: If you throw out the 2006 season, Fitzgerald has averaged 99 receptions, 1416 receiving yards, and ten touchdowns per season since 2005.  Last season, Fitz eclipsed triple figures in receiving yards on seven occasions, and he had at least five receptions in all but two contests.

Why you may want to stay away from drafting Larry Fitzgerald: In 2008, Fitzgerald failed to score a touchdown in seven games.  He was also held under 60 receiving yards four times. 

Bottom Line: Fitzgerald is one of the top fantasy wideouts year in and year out.  This year should be no exception. If you want to snag Fitzgerald, it will likely cost you a pick in one of the first four rounds of your fantasy draft.
