Top 5 WR (1 Viewer)

[Burning Sensation]

I know two weeks does not make a season, but it gives us a good start. With that said, if you had a redraft tommorrow, who would be your top 5 WR, and where would you think about taking them in a 12 person league?

1. Steve Smith (Not sure if anyone could have anyone else here. If i drafted tommorrow, he would be a late first round pick

2. Chad Johnson (I had CJ at 3 behind Wayne going into the season, but i think i would change my mind now. I still think he would be an early 2nd round pick)

3. Reggie Wayne (Easy top 5 WR, although alot of weapons on that team, might not always be enough balls to go around. Probably a late 2nd rounder)

4. Andre Johnson (Assuming he is not seriously injured i cant see him not finishing in the top 5 WR's, Shaub is boatloads better than Carr. Would have to take him late 2nd, he would be a steal anywhere past that.)

5. Terrell Owens (I had RWilliams here before the season, and i HATE Owens, but the guy is friggin good. Another late 2nd rounder, probably where he went in most drafts anyway.)

While most the top RB's are killing people this year, the top WR's are sure making up for them. Would have been a good year to exercise the Stud WR theory.

Holt has scored in each week, but i would be scared to have him on my fanatsy team, St. Louis does not look good at all.

Wow, didnt take Moss very long to jump back into the top 5.

 

[shadyridr]

Im still a bit iffy about Andre. Im not sure why

Unless Delhomme gets hurt and Johnson gets traded to the Panthers, i think he is a sure top 5 this year. Assuming of course he is ok, which i am sure he will be.

 

[MaddHatter]

1a. Steve Smith

1b. Marvin Harrison

1c. Terrell Owens

1d. Chad Johnson

1e. Reggie Wayne

To me, it seems that in any order, these guys are on pace to finish top 5 (no kidding right?)

Regardless, these guys would have their way with pretty much any defensive back in the NFL.

 

[broncofan13000]

1. Smith

2. Chad

3. Owens

4. R.Wayne

5. Andre (assuming his knee is ok)

eta:

Moss is making it really hard to exclude him from this list.

 

[Marc Levin]

CJ

Moss

SS

Owens

Harrison

No need to pick an order - as someone else posted, in week two, they are all 1a-e

That said, I think they will all be virtually unobtainable via trade (esp. in PPR leagues) for the rest of the year

The sickest thing is that a team could easily have LJ plus two of CJ, SS, Owens, Harrison, plus a decent RB2 at the 4/5 turn, plus RMoss.

WHy in the world would you want to handy cap your WRs by having to puck up the LJ slack all year?

At this point.....

 

[Blackjacks]

I think Burress should get some love in here as well if Eli stays healthy.

 

[Burning Sensation]

I think Burress should get some love in here as well if Eli stays healthy.

I think he has put himself in the top 10, but he is not in the same class as those top 5-7 WR's.

Something in that order probably.

Actually I have a team with LJ, Steve Smith and Chad Johnson. Romo is my QB too Rbs went early and often. My #2 is a rotation of B. Jackson, Foster and D. Williams.

 

[majech]

Im still a bit iffy about Andre. Im not sure why

Maybe cuz he is hurt????

 

[Burning Sensation]

How early would anyone consider taking Steve Smith? I am having a real hard time trying to come up with 10 players i would take ahead of him.

 

[schooner44]

1. Steve Smith2. Andre Johnson3. Randy Moss4. Marvin Harrison5. Chad Johnson

CJ has 16 rec 305 yards and 3 TDs and that only warrants #5???? WowMy Top 5 Would be:1) S Smith2) CJ3) Moss4) TO5) Tie between Harrison & Wayne

Yep...wow, your team looks so familiar for some reason...hmm..well, not CJ and Smitty, but I think Wayne and RoyW are just a notch below them...and where's the love for RoyW?!? Yeah, he only put up 20 last week, but he's still got 2 TD's and a 100 game..I think the more Megatron see the field and teams have to watch him, the more Roy's numbers go this way

I had Roy in my top 5 going into the season, but they just spread the ball to much in Detroit. He is still top 10, but i think he will be a bit inconsistent to warrant a top 5 spot.

Wow, didnt take Moss very long to jump back into the top 5.

It's pretty easy when you're Brady's main target.

True, he has certainly climbed up from whereever in the twenties i had him ranked, but i just cant see putting him ahead of the top 5-8 guys after just two games.

 

[Penguin]

Steve Smith - The cream of the crop

Chad Johnson - right behind smurf

Andre Johnson - looking great (as he did in the first month of '06) a little concerned about his knee injury today

Randy Moss - surprised how he has towed the company line so far, still have a little doubt on whether or not he can go 16 games without getting dinged or quiting

Reggie Wayne - You know what you have here

Marvin Harrison - same as above

Terrell Owens - He's the only show in town

Now, Andre Johnson & Moss have the upside to finish above Wayne, Harrison & Owens but most likely only one of them (or neither) finishes in the top 5.

Nobody cares, but:Gore, Harrison, Roy Williams, Peterson, R Moss

 

[zoonation]

after two weeks:

1. Steve Smith

2. C. Johnson

3. Moss

4. Owens (hasn't been used a lot yet)

5. A. Johnson/Harrison/Wayne (consistency week in week out worries me at Uber-WR1)

the most important thing to note is that 8 through 15 is really solid as well.

seriously...did you watch these games? Moss has seen more single coverage in two games then he did the last 5 years. Monster this year if healthy

Hmm, consistency is what i like most about those two.

I have my doubs about Peterson (FF-wise...btw-i own him too)...that O is brutal....but really solid FF core there for sure.

i don't know...hard for me to disagree, i guess, but I just think there is a week to week risk re: TDs. Even Marvin last year had a few duds. I can't sa I wouldn't be happy with either as my WR1 though, so point taken.

OwensSmithCJMossWayneThey'll finish in this order...book it.

A wouldn't be so confident on Owens finishing #1, he's already 22 & 20 points behind Smith & CJ in PPR leagues.

I guess his health is part of what scares me, mostly the fact that he hasnt done much over the last several years. He certainly does look good though, and based on what i have seen, i wont be shocked at all if he finishes top 5. He just scares me, and i cant quite pinpoint exactly why.

health is definitely a concern with Randy, but, after what I hae seen the last two weeks I don't think he could be in a better situation. He still has the skills and cannot be stopped in single coverage. Barring injury I just can't see anything less than 90-1400-14. SOD (wish I had him).

You can't predict injuries, plus since almost every Moss owner has him as a WR3ish territory you are covered in case of an injury. Moss owners are tickeled pink.....and I'm one of them.......

 

[zumpellaj]

Did anyone state if we're talking PPR here or not? I have consistently seen the top 5-7 WR's in almost everyone's posts. With those 7 here is how I'd rank them.

S. Smith

C. Johnson

R. Wayne

R. Moss (Will slow down a little)

T. Owens (Could easily fall to 7-10 range)

M. Harrison (Wayne will surpass him this year)

A. Johnson (Won't finish in top 5)

Thats how I see it now. After those 7 I actually like the 3 I have on my team, but honestly its not just because I have them. I have Torry Holt (37.5), Roy Williams (35), and Donald Driver (33.9), I'm hoping these guys finish in the top 5 although I think they will probably fall in the 6-12 range. I haven't seen any mention of Donald Driver in this thread yet, last year in my PPR league he finished 2nd behind Marvin. He's in an offense that relies on the pass and GB's defense and overall team is much better this year. All 3 WR's have had very similar starts as you can see, points in parenthesis, but I think Driver could more easily finish in the top 5 this year out of all of them. He has 14 catches so far and I think in PPR leagues especially he could do a lot of damage. I could see him breaking the 100 catch mark easier than the others. I'm not saying that he will break into the top 5 but out of those 3 I think he has the most potential to do so. Anyone else have some love for Double D? Because I saw it mentioned above, I did have the 3 pick, took LJ and Cadillac in R4. Driver was my sleeper this year and I got him in the 5th. I was targeting Randy Moss in the 4th but someone got him 2 picks before me. I would have given up Caddy for Moss in a heartbeat if he was around, its still pissin me off, even more now.

yeah, I'm sure Cincy is involved in many 51 to 45 games this year. And I am sure Smith will score 3TDs every week. :X a lot of times steady wins the race.

 

[Bri]

I feel like bumping all the Andre threads where people argued with a handful of us that he wasn't going to be top 5, in fact after the argument they'd come around to "top 10 maybe".

 

[beast8812]

well I have holt harrison and a johnson and cj2 in a keeper league, at the end of the year I can only keep 2 wr's that will defintely be a hard decision. But I cant figure out what to do next week.

That's what I was wondering. There has been no love for J. Walker either who has to this point outproduced M. Harrison also.J. Walker

I would guess that you are still in shock from watching the David Carr show. It was finally cancelled.

All offseason I was touting AJ as a top 5 WR...can't understand how a guy who leads the league in receptions ( in 2006) with Dave Carr throwing to him, is ranked no higher that WR #15 in most every fantasy mag this summer..
