Best of 2nd tier elite wr's? (1 Viewer)

The days of taking 2 rb in the first 2 rounds are long gone, epecially in ppr and .5 ppr leagues. Once the top 3 wr's are gone, who do u like to finish the highest? Out of Edwards, Fitz,Colston,Steve Smith,and Andre Johnson, and TJ, who will have the better year.

I like Colston, this is his 3rd year and if it wasnt for his slow start, he would have been the 2nd best wr behind Moss.

 
Considering I have Andre Johnson as my #1 WR, i will go with him. After that, i would probably take the rest in this order:

Colston

Fitz

Edwards

Smith

Housh

Also, other than Housh, i would say all of these WR's are first tier.

 
How I rank them:

Edwards, Colston

Fitz, Holt, Housh

Johnson, Smith

Smith is a guy I'll never (get the opportunity to) draft -- because he'll be gone before I'll take him). Holt IMO is a steal in 9 out of 10 drafts.

 
I like Andre Johnson this year, he was on pace for a monster year last year, and with his health and Schaub's health, they could be in for big things.

I also like Steve Smith to rebound. He was at the mercy of a revolving QB problem last year, and with reports that Delhomme better than ever - if true - he should be great again. On this same level I like Colston. A big, sturdy WR with a top flight QB throwing him the ball, I see him moving to an even higher level. Fitz has the skills to be at the top of his position for years. Although not a burner, the kid has motivation rarely seen, something that means more to me than most others on this board. I am a bit skeptical of the revolving door of Warner/Leinart, so I have a hard time being totally sold on his surroundings rather than him. Attitude is the same reason I devalue Chad Johnson (who you didn't mention but I consider in the same level as these others) a bit. Although a premier talent, his ankle scares me a bit, not to mention some of the circus that seems to follow him. That being said, with a healthy pair of feet he could be in for a bounce back season and a top 5 finish. As for Edwards, the guy is a great talent, I just am less confident with him gaining 15+ TDs again. But it Anderson is the real deal, I think he is right there with the others.

I think Housh is again under the radar, but physically he just isn't in the same class as some of the others. However, he has shown that matters little when it comes to production, since he has continuously been a steady, reliable top flight WR.

If I had to pick/tier it would be:

Andre Johnson

Smith

Colston

Fitz

Johnson

Edwards

Housh

I like Edwards a lot in dynasty, but see him falling back somewhat this year. Too many of his points came from TDs and I see Anderson getting replaced after he shows that last year was a fluke. I'd still take him #3 or 4 in a dynasty league, I might take Colston before him.

In a redraft, I'd take Smith or AJ, they're basically a toss up IMO.
