Palmer likes Caldwell: Coastal Carolina's Jerome Simpson was drafted in the second round, No. 46 overall by the Bengals in April - 51 spots ahead of fellow rookie Andre Caldwell of Florida. But QB Carson Palmer sees a more pro-ready receiver in Caldwell than the small-school Simpson, reports the Cincinnati Enquirer. "Jerome is a raw receiver coming out of a much smaller division school with a ton of potential, speed, quickness (and) great hands," Palmer said. "He's a little ways away from being ready to be in there in the heat of the fire, but has tremendous upside. On the other side, there's Andre Caldwell, our third-round pick, who can start right now and play right now. He doesn't get shaken or nervous with all the media here on the first day of minicamp. He doesn't show any signs of being a rookie. He looks like a vet. He looks like he's been out there and done it before, doesn't really get rattled or nervous about anything." (Updated 06/13/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
It appears Caldwell could be the leading candidate to replace Chris Henry as the No. 3 receiver for the Bengals. Simpson also will play a role, and what happens with Chad Johnson could determine what happens with the Bengals receivers. For now, consider Caldwell and Simpson low-end Fantasy options in seasonal leagues. In rookie drafts, look at Caldwell and Simpson as third-round options. (Updated 06/13/2008).
