Mike Wallace

As I go through many of these pre-season predicition columns on many websites, I can't help but notice in the column where it says 'break-out players of the season,' MW is never mentioned. Anyone else have a feeling he is going to have a monster year?

post week 4 yes....hes got some work to do on route running though, hes got awesome hands and elite speed but you cant be a top player and live off speed alone for very long, especially as a teams #1, it works as an unknown rookie #3 WR, but not as the top option

I hope he has a monster season...I picked him up in six of my fantasy leagues.

I had heard multiple off-season (pre-draft) rumblings that it was going to be a breakout year for MW, but I'm guessing the Ben ordeal probably put a damper on that. I had wondered why he hadn't been mentioned much anymore with the rankings and such coming out. Tomlin mentioned in a press conference that he was impressed with the progress Wallace has made, and other players have mentioned that MW had put in a lot of off-season work this year.

Speaking of players I haven't heard much from, has anyone heard any more about Lewis? Is he still the #3 CB behind BMac? Ever since he lost his cool against the Broncos I haven't heard anything....and then Gay got that pick as well. I hope Lewis is still number 3 because I really liked the way he had been playing and progressing this year.

If our QB can stay upright long enough to hit him deep, yes stud!

he's the backup LCB with William gay being the backup RCB and nickelback. so technically, William Gay is the 3rd. If BMac goes down, Lewis would come in, if Ike goes down, Gay would come in...

This will be an important year for Wallace, he will no longer be covered by a nickel back or some other 2nd string scrub. He will get a starting CB on him all game long so he will need to be on his game. He's got the natural talent, definitely has the speed, has good hands; the real test will not only be his route running, be can he break away from press coverage and get open consistently.
