Fantasy football players only need to look at Vincent Jackson to see how finding a new team can make a player a fantasy football star. If a wide receiver can find the right quarterback, you can pick up a gold mine in your draft. Here are five wide receivers to watch in free agency.

Emmanuel Sanders has been on the verge of being fantasy relevant since 2012. With six touchdowns and 740 receiving yards in 2013, Sanders could become a top-20 wide receiver on a new team.

4. Eric Decker

Many people feel Eric Decker is overrated because Peyton Manning was his quarterback, but that has just helped him grow as a receiver. He would instantly be able to insert himself into any offense, and he could easily become the new favorite target of several quarterbacks.

3. James Jones

His age and recent injuries may scare some fantasy owners away, but James Jones will be a steal in your draft if he signs with the right team. The rumor mill appears to indicate that Jones could end up with the Indianapolis Colts, and he would have a great season with Andrew Luck throwing him the ball.

Kenny Britt has already proclaimed that he would be one of the best wide receivers in 2014, and with the right team, I am inclined to believe him. He has all the physical skills to put up great numbers in fantasy football.
