My top 10 wr's (1 Viewer)

[Blackjacks]

1) Randy Moss - Top 10 with Cassel.......now add Brady back in the equation

2) Andre Johnson - The best skills on any wr in football

3) Larry Fitzgerald - Warner to Fitz........get ready to say alot this year

4) Reggie Wayne - Manning has a new go to guy and that's a guy I want on my team

5) Calvin Johnson - Would be alittle higher if I knew more about the quarterback

6) Marques Colston - Great offense and great qb

7) Anquan Boldin - Boldin is playing for his contract every year, he is just fearless but unfortunetly he will be getting Fitz's sloppy 2nds.

8) Steve Smith - Delhomme scares the pajesus out of me. Smith has the skills to be higher to they are gonna run the heck out of the ball.

9) Vincent Jackson - This guy is getting ready to take off.

10a) Roy Williams - I like the fit. I agree he has burned us all in the past but I think this is the year for Roy for it all to come together

10b) Roddy White - very consistent guy who catches alot of balls for alot of yardage. The td's scare me this year though.

 

[bcr8f]

Vincent Jackson and Williams but no Greg Jennings?

I'd remove Jackson and have Jennings at 6.

 

[Crippler]

These too me are easier

1. Moss. Not much to say

2. Fitz. Not much to say

3. Wayne. He is the guy with other good weapons to leave him open

4. A. Johnson. Not much to say

5. Jennings. Love what he has going with Rodgers

6. Boldin. One of my favs to watch. He can do so much in that O

7. Steve Smith. Not a guy I usually take but cant argue with the success

8. Calvin Johnson-Great talent but I am leery of the team in the end

9. Colston-Great situation but I am afraid to take this guy. Gut feeling about the knee

10. Chad Johnson. Rededicated this year and I expect a huge rebound

10b) Roddy White - very consistent guy who catches alot of balls for alot of yardage. The td's scare me this year though.

Too HighWayne: fell off the face of the earth last year and will be doubled a lot.

Colston: too many weapons to be a top 6 WR imo. It's nice to not get doubled, but Brees just spreads the wealth too much for me to draft him this high.

Vincent Jackson: back to running the ball this year in SD, last yr they threw at ton, but DEF will be better and LT is back

Roy Williams: I want to see some chemistry with Romo before I rank him top 10

Too Low

Steve Smith: 78 catches for 1421 yd and 6 tds in 14 games, on a year where they ran the ball over 500 times? 2 more games and possibly not so many running attempts (assuming they don't avg such a high per attempt they will have to throw more) and he's top 5

Fitz: I like Moss's upside, but I want to see Brady in action before I take him over Fitz, who is the most consistent WR in the game. He's good for 1400 yds and double digit tds every year. Yes, please!

Jennings: 1st year with Rodgers was very productive, expect even better numbers this year. Great WR group so nobody can double team him.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

I'll pile on in this thread too and say Roy Williams in but Greg Jennings out is friggin' insane. Last year I laughed at Jennings deniers as I scooped him up in league after league, this year I can only feel sorry for them.

 

[Ghost of Bill Walsh]

My top 10 heading into training camp based on talent and the numbers they'll produce.

1. Larry Fitzgerald- in my estimation the best right now.

2. Andre Johnson- will get tons of catches and td total increase with healthy Schaub.

3. Randy Moss- yep, he's happy Brady's back and will show it.

4. Calvin Johnson- young phenom that'll produce with either C-Pep or Stafford.

5. Greg Jennings- running game does better this year and Rodgers more experienced,he finishes top 5.

6. Steve Smith- simply makes plays and Delhomme bounces back better this year.

7. Reggie Wayne- will be Peyton's top target and numbers will show it.

8. Roddy White-TGonz takes a few catches away but it helps White and Ryan's numbers get better.

9. Marques Colston- 7th rounder produces top 10 numbers with 'Bigtime' Brees tossin' it to him.

10a. Anquan Boldin- stays in 'Zona and Warner shows his appreciation.

10b. Terrell Owens- having Evans beside him will help him sneak in to the top 10 for THIS year.Next year, he's close enough to Canada they might just ship him across the border on a bus to the CFL.

SURPRISE TOP 10 CANDIDATE- WR Braylon Edwards: I think he bounces back this year and holds on to the ball. He's gonna see a ton of targets considering their wr corp. Has a good bye week at 9 so he can hump until then,take a break and finish out the season strong. Could bump T.O out of my top 10 if he'll just hang on to the damn ball. I think he could quite possibly get back in to the 70-80 catch range and double digit td's.

SLEEPER TOP 10 CANDIDATE- WR Donnie Avery: Will be the #1 guy in St. Louie. If S Jax stays healthy he's gonna produce which will help keep coverage away from Avery. No real or clear cut #2 guy or real legit #2 guy so Avery should see the majority of targets. Bulger has to play better too. He might have one more good year in him if they can protect him. Thye'll probably be behind a lot and have to throw more so Avery could benefit there. He's an outside chance and possible sleeper to sneak into the top 10. If things fall right for Donnie he could avoid the sophomore jinx and have 70-80 catches, 1100 yds.+ and 8-9 tds. That would net him a spot in the top 10.

 

[Heep]

I'll pile on in this thread too and say Roy Williams in but Greg Jennings out is friggin' insane. Last year I laughed at Jennings deniers as I scooped him up in league after league, this year I can only feel sorry for them.

I feel that way about people passing on Bowe and Marshall...and his list having VJax and Roy over them makes me smile.

I like these rankings a lot. The one thing that I would change though is that Jennings NEEDS to be on this list and he should be replacing Jackson, not Williams.

I'm sorry guys, just not a big Jennings fan going into this year. I doubt GB passes the ball like they did last year and they have alot of young talent at the wr position which is gonna start taking away touches from Jennings this year. I knew I was gonna get crap for not putting him there. I feel like VJax and ROY both put up better #'s this year but then again, that's just my opinion.

Agree - Steve Smith is a monster. As long as him and Delhomme are healthy, I could easily see him being the #1 fantasy WR. Also while his 6 TDs look low, he easily could have had 2-4 more. The number of catches he made just inside the 5 yard line were very close to being TDs.

 

[Blackjacks]

8) Steve Smith - Delhomme scares the pajesus out of me. Smith has the skills to be higher to they are gonna run the heck out of the ball.

I will stand by this comment more than any of the other one's.

My ranking of Smith this low is due to Delhomme and John Fox and not Steve mith. I think Smith is a monster and plays the gaame fearlessly but his surroundings are alittle worrysome. I wouldn't be shocked if his skill put him in the top five but I also wouldn't be surprised if his surroundings put him out of the top ten.

Sure I can understand you being wary of Steve Smith because of what you mentioned. Still, last year Steve Smith had a stellar year & I can't imagine CAR running it any more than they did last year. When you look at last year, Steve Smith wasn't in an enviable position (2 game suspension, a monster running game and his QB coming off Tommy John surgery). We've seen he can produce top 5 numbers while playing on a dominant running team, he's not facing any suspensions, and his QB wasn't rehabbing this offseason. To me, Steve Smith is less risky than say Marques Colsten who is recovering from microfracture surgery this offseason

 

[Michael Fox Fan]

I'm sorry guys, just not a big Jennings fan going into this year. I doubt GB passes the ball like they did last year and they have alot of young talent at the wr position which is gonna start taking away touches from Jennings this year. I knew I was gonna get crap for not putting him there. I feel like VJax and ROY both put up better #'s this year but then again, that's just my opinion.

Jennings is the clear cut #1 WR on Green Bay. James Jones and Jordy Nelson, if anything, will start taking touches away from Driver....not Jennings. Passing attempts by year2008: 5412007: 5782006: 6302005: 626etc.2006-2008 were all McCarthy seasons. If anything, I think you could argue that Green Bay will pass the ball MORE in 2009 than they did last year.Jennings was targeted 125 times last year, and had 80 catches. Previous seasons he had 84 targets & 53 receptions, and 105 targets for 45 receptions. I'm more worried about his catch % dipping this year, in which case he needs more targets than 2008 to keep his production up.As a comparison point, in 2005-2006 Driver had 144 and 167 targets respectively, for 86 and 94 catches. Will Jennings see the same increase in targets as the true #1 WR? I don't know, but either way it looks like a glaring ommission to keep Jennings out of the top-10.

interesting list. the top 5 are no brainers. Boldin is gonna put up solid #'s. Colston SHOULD put up WR1 #'s. durability is a ?. Steve Smith will get his even in a run first offense. prolly wont have a ton of TD's. V.Jax and Roy not too sure about, but i like that you're takin chances. these guys are certainly great athletes in great situations. will they step up? i'd prolly put Jennings somewhere in there, but i'm not calling it crazy to exclude him.

 

[Blackjacks]

I think GB will be a better all around team this year. Therefore, I think they will be leading alittle more in the second half of games which will take away from some of his #'s. I'm n ot saying he is a bad wr by any means I just see a drop off this year due to oppurtunity.

I see the GB running game being alot more efficient this year and their D being much improved.

If you see a supply shift to the greater, that mayn't be a strong indicator for a change Jennings #s,as opposed to a redistribution.

10. Chad Johnson. Rededicated this year and I expect a huge rebound

I'm with ya there.

Why do you see his #'s going down? - Due to GB's overall passing attempts declining? See my post above- Due to Jennings seeing fewer targes? See my post above- Due to an improvement in GB's defense? First year in a new scheme. Will they improve? Maybe. Dramatically? Doubtful.

I wouldn't be shocked if his skill put him in the top five but I also wouldn't be surprised if his surroundings put him out of the top ten.

I know Delhomme stunk in the playoff game last season, but he was very good in the regular season. He led the league in yards per completion, and Steve Smith certainly didn't seem too hampered by either Fox or Delhomme last year. Or any year.Smith, when playing with Delhomme, has averaged more receiving yards per game than just about everyone, ever. And Fox has been there this whole time, too.

I get not liking Smith because he's an injury risk, or Delhomme is an injury risk. Or even that he might not score double digit TDs, although touchdowns are very tough to predict for wide receivers. But I don't get not liking him because of Delhomme/Fox (Smith has been great there) or because Carolina's a running team (Carolina will almost certainly pass more and rush less this season).

I'm n ot saying he is a bad wr by any means I just see a drop off this year due to oppurtunity.I see the GB running game being alot more efficient this year and their D being much improved.

Jennings had 140 targets last year. The 2 years earlier Driver was the top WR and had 171 and 122 targets. Jennings is now the top receiver and should be in that range. With a better defense and running game I think he'll be more efficient and do more with his targets. I think he'll be better as Rodgers inproves. Rodgers was hurt last year and missed some wide open targets.And Boldin has only started 16 games once in the last 5 years. He gets hurt too much.Games started...04-1005-1406-1607-1208-12

 

[EBF]

My list would look something like:

1. Fitzgerald - Best WR in the game. QB could be an issue if Warner gets hurt or declines.

2. Wayne - Mr. consistent. He doesn't have monster season potential, but he's a rock solid WR1.

3. A. Johnson - Elite talent in the prime of his career. Has potential to be a difference maker.

4. Jennings - Much like Wayne. A safe pick with modest upside.

5. White - Two consecutive elite years can't be a fluke. I think he's a safe, solid WR1.

6. Moss - Has he lost a step? Should rebound from 2008 numbers, but I don't see him duplicating career year of 2007.

7. S. Smith - Difference maker talent. Getting a bit older and Delhomme has been rocky.

8. Cal. Johnson - I love his ability. I'm not sure the Lions offense will allow him to hit his ceiling just yet (see: AJ w/ David Carr).

9. Ch. Johnson - Elite talent who should have some top years left.

10. Boldin - Pretty consistent producer over the past 5 years. No obvious reason to expect a decline.

Could make a run at the top 10:

Bowe - KC

Jackson - SD

Welker - NE

Houshmandzadeh - SEA

Edwards - CLE

Bryant - TB

Royal - DEN

Marshall - DEN

Crabtree - SF

Nicks - NYG

Owens - BUF

Colston - NO

I think the top 5 is pretty firm. The 6-10 guys are more volatile overall. I might change some of those rankings before the season starts.

[buck naked]

7) Anquan Boldin - Boldin is playing for his contract every year, he is just fearless but unfortunetly he will be getting Fitz's sloppy 2nds.

Boldin has never gotten Fitz's sloppy 2nds. Ever.Look at last year. When Boldin played, he was outpointing Fitz. Fitz was great in the playoffs when Boldin was hurt.

 

[evilempire]

1. Andre Johnson -- Was tops last year and should be again this year, especially if Schaub plays the entire season.

2. Calvin Johnson -- Will reach the stratosphere this season as the Lions improve a bit on offense. QB play will be more consistent by the end of the year

3. Reggie Wayne -- Motivated to prove he still has it, and without Marvin he'll be the unquestioned top target in Indy

4. Fitz -- I'm projecting a Warner injury (dangerous I know), which would impact Larry greatly. I also think if the Cards sign Boldin his numbers will also take a hit as both guys have a ton of talent. Losing Todd Haley and his foot on the pedal approach could hurt more than anything

5. Greg Jennings -- Has passed Driver as Rodgers favorite target, and if he gets back to double digit TDs as he did in 2007 he'll be this high

6. Randy Moss -- Welker will take away some of his targets, and though Moss will still have some great games I don't see him duplicating his 23-TD total of 2007. Thinking more like 14-15 realistically.

7. Steve Smith -- I want to rank him higher because I think the guy is a stud, but Delhomme worries me a bit. Otherwise I'd have him in the top five

8. Dwayne Bowe -- Will break out for two reasons -- Todd Haley as coach and the fact the Chiefs will be trailing early and often and have almost no one else to throw to. Another one who could reach double digit TDs

9. Roddy White -- Falcons will throw more this year, and White will again put up a very nice season. Gonzo will steal some of his TDs, but catches and yards should still be high

10 (tie). TJ Houshmandzadeh -- Assuming Hasselbeck is healthy, he finally has a sure handed guy at his disposal. Last year's dip in TDs was a byproduct of the Bengals QB issues, and without the Seahawks having a solid running game it will be pass first, second and third; Anquan Boldin -- The guy plays and plays hard, and for a good portion of last season was outperforming Fitz. The guy has been a TD beast most of his career and that shouldn't change. He leaves this list if there's any kind of trade, however.

Just missed -- Colston/Braylon Edwards/Wes Welker/Chad Johnson

 

[netnalp]

I think GB will be a better all around team this year. Therefore, I think they will be leading alittle more in the second half of games which will take away from some of his #'s. I'm n ot saying he is a bad wr by any means I just see a drop off this year due to oppurtunity.I see the GB running game being alot more efficient this year and their D being much improved.

I see GB having to pass more. Their defense had an unusual number of defensive TDs last year, I doubt they have the same defensive scoring. From FO "Through ten games last year, the Packers’ defense had scored 42 points. It was a remarkable total: only eight teams since 1995 have recorded that manypoints in a whole season, let alone in ten games." It's unlikely the defense would score so much even if they kept the same package, but they are going to a 3-4. The Packers will likely struggle till their week 5 bye while they adjust to the new scheme at the very least. Theres also speculation that Kampman isn't happy with his position change, the Packers may not have the right personnel to run the 3-4 effectively.With the defense not scoring as much, learning a new scheme and Minnesota, Detroit and Chicago improving on offense, I think the Packers are going to have to pass alot more, so Jennings should have a great year.

Primacy effect is in full force with Delhomme's playoff performance. The playoffs also seem to be influencing Fitzgerald (overrated), Boldin (underrated), Holmes (overrated), and Celek (overrated).

 

[NFL-ons]

Thx Bjacks. Look 4ward 2 your postings

Randy Moss: Top 5 talent, highest ceiling, and it just feels like Brady wants 2 throw him a TD every play

Andre Johnson: Most talented wr in the NFL

Anquan Boldin: Beast ... The true #1 in zona

Marques Colston: NO throws the ball a lot. Brees is a great QB. Brees likes to throw to Marques.

Brandon Marshall: Think Randy Moss of 2008 with more talent, too bad he's a bonehead.

Larry Fitzgerald: Warner will not last the whole season and when he's down Fitzy will fall.

Dwayne Bowe: Think Q and Fitzy combined. Could end up as #1 wr

Greg Jennings: Safest pick

Reggie Wayne: Great Qb, plays in a dome, lowend #2 & #3 options, should be higher.

Calvin Johnson: Love 2 watch this guy play but ... he plays in Det.

Roddy White: Addition of Gonzo hurts, plus Ryan will regress this year

Lance Moore: See Marques Colston

DeSean Jackson: Remember the last time Dnabb had a go to WR

Eddie Royal: As of today Denvers D is pretty bad. I think Micky D will do OK and he will have to throw a lot.

Vincent Jackson: Rivers is a heady QB and will spread the ball around. Great receiving options in SD. Suspension??? Watch out 4 Floyd.

Wes Welker: Brady's security blanket.

Roy Williams: A TE on a high powered offense can't lead it in receptions, can he?

Terrell Owens: Does he still have the talent cause he will get his targets.

Santana Moss: Still has the talent.

T.J. Houshmandzadeh: 2007 ppr total would have placed him #3 in 2008. Should b after welker.

Mike Walker: The true #1 in Jax. If he does not get hurt, will be top 10.

Jerricho Cotchery: Anquan lite.

Donnie Avery: Love this guys potential, unless others start to drink the Kool Aid, will b on all my teams

Braylon Edwards: Prima donna, hates CLE, stone hands, Brady Quinn, should b lower.

Bernard Berrian: We all know Brett doesn't care about winning, he'll just keep chucking it up there.

Hines Ward: Old reliable

Kevin Walter: Should be higher too, don't know how he fell here

Chris Henry: Who was sleeping in Ocho's bed when he went to stay with Carson, that's right!!

Ooops forgot Steve Smith he's between Calvin and Roddy: Odds Delhomey plays the whole season 15:1

 

[H8fulHuck]

1. Andre Johnson -- Was tops last year and should be again this year, especially if Schaub plays the entire season.

2. Calvin Johnson -- Will reach the stratosphere this season as the Lions improve a bit on offense. QB play will be more consistent by the end of the year

3. Reggie Wayne -- Motivated to prove he still has it, and without Marvin he'll be the unquestioned top target in Indy

4. Fitz -- I'm projecting a Warner injury (dangerous I know), which would impact Larry greatly. I also think if the Cards sign Boldin his numbers will also take a hit as both guys have a ton of talent. Losing Todd Haley and his foot on the pedal approach could hurt more than anything

5. Greg Jennings -- Has passed Driver as Rodgers favorite target, and if he gets back to double digit TDs as he did in 2007 he'll be this high

6. Randy Moss -- Welker will take away some of his targets, and though Moss will still have some great games I don't see him duplicating his 23-TD total of 2007. Thinking more like 14-15 realistically.

7. Steve Smith -- I want to rank him higher because I think the guy is a stud, but Delhomme worries me a bit. Otherwise I'd have him in the top five

8. Dwayne Bowe -- Will break out for two reasons -- Todd Haley as coach and the fact the Chiefs will be trailing early and often and have almost no one else to throw to. Another one who could reach double digit TDs

9. Roddy White -- Falcons will throw more this year, and White will again put up a very nice season. Gonzo will steal some of his TDs, but catches and yards should still be high

10 (tie). TJ Houshmandzadeh -- Assuming Hasselbeck is healthy, he finally has a sure handed guy at his disposal. Last year's dip in TDs was a byproduct of the Bengals QB issues, and without the Seahawks having a solid running game it will be pass first, second and third; Anquan Boldin -- The guy plays and plays hard, and for a good portion of last season was outperforming Fitz. The guy has been a TD beast most of his career and that shouldn't change. He leaves this list if there's any kind of trade, however.

Just missed -- Colston/Braylon Edwards/Wes Welker/Chad Johnson

What are you projecting for the top 5 receivers if you think your 6th ranked player will score 14-15 TDs?

I think those guys will all be between 14-18, but will have more yardage and catches than Moss will. Doubt that anyone gets to 20, though I guess it's possible.

Ummm, 12 TDs led the NFL last year and over the last 5 years combined only 6 times has player had the amount of receiving TDs you are projecting for what, 5 or 6 guys?I don't know seems pretty unlikely. One thing working in your favor is that it does seem to happen in bunches. Regardless, projecting 5 or so guys to do so in a single season when only 6 have done it in the last 5 years combined is rather optimistic to say the least.

2008 - 0

2007 - 3 (Moss 23, Edwards 16, TO 15)

2006 - 0

2005 - 0

2004 - 3 (Muhammad 16, Harrison 15, TO 14)

I think you're right, Moss will go for that many TDs. They only problem is that he will do so and be the #1 WR in 2009, not the #6.

You may be right and I may be crazy -- but there were four guys last season who had 11 or more, so getting three-four more TDs doesn't seem all that wild to me. With the league becoming more and more pass happy, I think receiving TDs will go up across the board. So to me it's not all that difficult to see four or so guys getting to the 14-15 TD mark. Maybe not super likely, but certainly not impossible, either.FWIW, three guys had 15 or more receiving TDs in 2007 (Moss of course being tops with 23).
