Harrison and Wayne (1 Viewer)

[Team Legacy]

In standard PPR leagues, they're at the top of the WR list at 1 and 2 within 1 point of each other.

Has this ever happened in the history of the NFL?

2 WRs from the same team at the top?

Arguably the best tandem in the history of our sport or just great WRs with a Top 5 QB of all time?

Taylor and Rice in '89 might have been close.Duper and Clayton in '86?

 

[Sabertooth]

Moss and Carter were pretty strong too, as were Bruce and Holt.

Many great tandems listed so far. But, for my $$$, Harrison and Wayne are a slight tick above them all.

Next would probably be Moss/Carter and Clayton/Duper.

It has been a terrific time to be a Colts fan to see these two in action.

For the record, Harrison is in the best WRs conversation with Rice. Wayne is a great WR, but not in the class of Harrison yet.

Not as much speed.

Not as good of a route runner.

Equal in his hands.

Not as good on the footwork.

Better across the middle.

But, for a tandem, they have to be amongst the best of all time.

That is one scary tandem for damn sure! When they make line improvements in the offseason. Look out!!!

Really? Maybe I haven't seen enough. That's pretty high praise if this is so.Wayne's got a little more strength the muscle through the press (although, Harrison's so damn slippery, it really doesn't seem to bother him that much).

Wayne has great hands. He hasn't had to use them as much as 88. I think Manning still trusts Marvin more and is willing to put the ball where Marvin HAS to use his hands to make the catch. Passes to Wayne appear more crisp and Wayne is bigger so maybe he gets to the ball easier with his extended reach.I've seen enough of Reggie making 1-handed catches, or catches behind him, to call that metric a push.

In 0PPR leagues, Wayne (1) and Harrison (3) might finish 1 and 2, which would be pretty incredible. The highest Moss/Carter got was when Moss (2) and Carter (3) both finished top three, incidentally, behind Marvin Harrison. But Harrison's only a point back of Chad Johnson, and could certainly catch him over the next two weeks. I've already posted some Reggie Wayne trivia, but here's one more: If the Colts receivers finish the year 1-2, they would be just the second* duo to do so.*or third

Jefferson and Winslow (or Joiner) around '79 or in '80?

Yes, that would be the asterisk. They would rank 1-2 on a WR/TE list.

No mention of Stallworth/Swann yet? Pretty damn good.

There wre only two years -- '77 and '78 -- where they both ranked in the top 30. They never both ranked in the top five.

According to MFL - 1 point per reception, 1 point per 10 yards receiving & 6 points per receiving TD's....Reggie is #1 & Harrison is #2 in fantasy scoring at the WR position.1. Wayne, Reggie IND WR 249

2. Harrison, Marvin IND WR 247

3. Johnson, Chad CIN WR 246

4. Owens, Terrell DAL WR 241

5. Holt, Torry STL WR 240

 

[Warpig]

Not sure if these tandems were ever 1 and 2 but they all had seasons where they both went over 1,000 yards and damn near 100 receps a piece:

Det - Herman Moore and Brett Perriman

Jac - Jimmy Smith and Keenan McCardell

Den - Rod Smith and Ed McCaffrey (?)

I haven't looked at the stats...just trying to go from memory.

But I'd have to say that Harrison and Wayne have been able to do what they've been doing for a longer stretch. What...3 years now?

This might bring about another argument...is Peyton Manning the best passer "ever"? Seems like every skill position on that team puts up solid fantasy points and he does spread the ball around. Even Utecht helped people out this year!

Absolutely...I honestly do not think there is any question.

 

[Ghost Rider]

You have to wonder how obnoxious the numbers of Bruce and Holt might have been in '00 and '01 if the Rams hadn't spread the ball around so much. I mean, they put up great numbers as it was, but take Hakim out of the equation, and it would have been ridiculous.

And Faulk. He had almost 100 receps and 1,000 receiving yards numerous times!

Curious because with exactly the same scoring, xpert has the same players with different totals:T1 - Reggie Wayne - 254

T1 - Marvin Harrison - 254

3) - Chad Johnson - 252

4) - Terrel Owens - 249

5) - Torry Holt - 244
