Two Top 10 Wide Receivers from the Same Team (1 Viewer)

[Tong Po]

It seems like every year lately, a pair of wide receivers from the same team manages to finish the season Top 10 in fantasy scoring at the WR position. Examples, Marvin Harrison and Wayne in 2006, TJ Housh and Ochocinco in 2007, Boldin and Fitz in 2008, Moss and Welker last year (although Welker was borderline depending on your scoring system). So what combination of wideouts has the best shot at doing it this year? Let's figure a PPR league with basic TD scoring (no bonuses for long TDs). I'm basing the choices on where a lot of these guys have been ranked in the preseason. If you choose "Another combination", please list the tandem you believe has the best shot at pulling it off and why.

 

[Happy Ragnarok]

Best shot to me seems to be Wayne and Garcon in Indy. But I don't think any team comes close.

 

[Unwrittenlaw]

Desean/Maclin?

 

[Chimp Magnet]

Smith and Nicks in PPR.

 

[Tong Po]

Desean/Maclin?

Yeah got them as a choice. Sorry, couldn't get the Poll to load. Must be a Safari thing.

 

[Football Critic]

Andre Johnson and Jacoby Jones?

Andre Johnson and Jacoby Jones?

You must have Andre rated a lot higher than me.

Andre Johnson and Jacoby Jones?

You mean Jones.... right?That tandem almost made the list. But I don't see Jones even ranked in the Top 30 in most people's rankings, so I left that duo off the poll.Of course that doesn't mean it can't happen. Jacoby has looked good in the preseason.

[FGITLOTR]

I can see Wayne and Garcon

 

[Unwrittenlaw]

One thing I see in common in all of those situations is there was no top 10 TE.

So eliminate Wayne/Garcon if you think Clark is still going to be productive, eliminate Driver/Jennings if you think Finley will be productive.

Smith/Nicks seems logical. How about Colston/Meachem?

Welker/Moss have the best chance though.

 

[SeniorVBDStudent]

Murphy / Heyward Bey.

Duh!

Yeah I guess Colston and Meachum have just as good a shot as anyone. I added them to the Poll, as well as AJ and Jacoby Jones.

 

[Bankerguy]

Next year....Austin/Bryant.

 

[Franknbeans]

Ward/Wallace

 

[Tong Po]

Bump... for a few votes from the evening crowd.

 

[Jimbo Slice]

Knox/aromashadu.

 

[Northern Voice]

Austin/Bryant.

This is the one I like best.

 

[KGB]

Not sure how TO/OCHO can be rated so high and yet palmer ranked so low everywhere

 

[Clifton]

Best and Megatron. He's gonna catch a lot of balls. Mark it down.

 

[Texasmouth]

Andre Johnson and Jacoby Jones?

 

[Clifton]

Gun to your head and you choose any duo over Moss/Welker and you're nuts.

At 9:15PM on 9/07/10....

Steve Smith / H. Nicks = 14 votes

Jennings / Driver = 2 votes

.......................................

This is surprising to me considering how everyone seems to be predicting Aaron Rodgers will be the consensus #1 fantasy QB, while Eli seems to fall in the 9-13 range in most of the expert rankings I've seen.

I think they take it easy with Welker early on, and even if they don't, I'm not convinced his knee holds up the entire season.

 

[ShaqAttaq]

finley is so good...he counts as two top 10 WRs

 

[AtomicDogg97]

What about drafting two receivers from the same team? For example, I ended up with ReggienWayne and Pierre Garcon as my top 2 receivers.

Rodgers has a tendency to spread it around. So, he could end up the top QB and not really have a stud WR, as was the case last year for the most part. Finley could be the only real stud of the group, with Jennings and Driver being decent, and James Jones and Jordy Nelson getting their share as well.

Gun to your head and you choose a tandem with a cripple, and you've got to have a death wish. This one would be my last choice from the list.

Wow... now Welker is a cripple?
