Top 10 Fantasy WR's for 2013 (2/19/13): Andre Johnson? Larry Fitzgerald? Nope. Neither one made the top 10 on Russ's early 2013 Fantasy Football Wide Receivers Rankings. That's a testament to how strong the position is in 2013. Everyone knows Megatron is #1, but Russ slips in a couple of sleepers on the list.
