****UPDATE:.... so.... not braggin (but will)... and hate to say I told you so BUT.....

1)low scoring affair (as I predicted and stood by)

2) henderson outscores Colston (had to be edited, neither was in my top 20)

3) no MIN or NO receivers in my top 20 (same as above)

all in all.. not a bad start for me

How can Calvin be a good play when Best will run for over 200 yards and 3 td's??

I have Floyd in my lineup over Crabtree for week1. That might be due to having Rivers going and want to double-dip this weeks against the Chiefs..

I have best ranked very high as well, dont you worry...Lions v Bears will be a high scoring affair...which sucks since I have CHI D

 

[RICK ROMO]

Percy Harvin is going to tear up the Saints next Thursday. I think he should be in your rankings.

 

[Clifford]

I'd like to see matchups and a quick one-line blurb about why

Im gonna assume a lot of the guys that 'should be there' are listed right after my top 20...harvin, and a few bears WRs ar sitting there

 

[Cenobite]

Thanks for the interesting list. I guess I'm not the only one who thinks that S. Moss could be a steal with McNabb at QB.

 

[rizzler]

I'd like to see matchups and a quick one-line blurb about why

added matchups, as for blurbs Ill have to think them out and post them...since I do my ranking at night, I justify to myself and just rank, w/out writing the reason. haha

So no Bears WRs? Too many options or what?

I actually just wrote above, that I have 2 bears WRs right after the top 20...since I cant expectly pinpoint who will be their major contributors, I have Hester and Knox at 21 and 23 respectively..

and have forte fairly high as well

One problem: the Saints open up at home against Minny - whose defensive backfield is a total disaster right now. How is Colston (or at least any Saint WR) NOT on here?

 

[gheemony]

Colston?

I didnt miss Finley... he's just the automatic no1 at every offensive position!As for Wayne.. sorry, Garcon will lead the way this year.... IMO

 

[Gopher State]

How can Jennings be on the list when Jermichael Finley is going to catch all the passes and TD's from Rogers

 

[spm3485]

The drastic fall off of Reggie Wayne is being way over predicted in the FF world.

More or less a joke, seeing as how most on the boards love the guy!Thought maybe you seen the "Ha" next to it.Jennings disappeared TD wise in more then his share of games last year....It could happen again. Plus ARod can throw for a bunch, just sayin, lol. Many reasons for Finley to get love this year..

exactly.. while I believe Jennings will be a yardage machine, his TD production has left something to be desired...

Im not predicting a 'drastic fall', but do believe he will be outperformed.

when? before last year he had 21 combined in two seasons. last year was an aberration. Jennings is going o find himself all alone OFTEN this year with Finley roaming over the middle and driver and jones dstracting everyone else. I see Jennings getting back to the scary downfield threat he was in 07-08.

fair enough... I still see jennings as the yardage man with some TDs.... but finley, driver and jones getting the majority of TDsjust personal opinion

based on what though? finley, I can understand. he is a monster who scored frequently at the end of the year. But the two seasons before last, Jennings was the TD guy.jones has only caught a couple in his entire career.

 

[SCT]

Steve Smith CAR vs. a less than stellar secondary.

 

[fruity pebbles]

you have the wrong cincy WR on the list. hell both should be on the list.

 

[Instinctive]

Shouldnt Finley be on there instead of Jennings?

 

[Scooter71]

Shouldnt Finley be on there instead of Jennings?

Uh, not unless he just got moved to WR.

would you believe me if I told you that I had this pegged as a low scoring affair?and I have meachem ranked above Colston

Beleive you? Sure. Agree - not at all. The last time these two played (when Minny's backfield was much better) Brees threw 3 TDs and the final was 31-28. This game will likely be higher scoring than that (especially from the Saints perspective). BTW, having Meachem ranked above Colston is a mistake many have made (going into last season as well). IMHO, Colston is still the one to own, primarily for red zone reasons (being 6' 5"). As an example, last year Colston had 26 red zone targets - ALL other NO WRs had 21 combined. (Meach 9, Henderson 8, Moore 4). Basically, he gets 3 times the number of redzone looks as any other WR. I'll take him.

not ranked higher on the season... just week 1 I always feel like "the little guys" get forgotten about by Defences early on in the season leaving no2 and no3 wrs to catch a few 'lucky ones'ie: last season colston ranked no7 on the NO receiving core in week 1... w 30yds...devery henderson, 103yds and a TD.basically week 1 is a strange breed.

the vegas over under is like 50 man. those guys know stuff. readjust your rankings accordingly.

 

[Crippler]

I am not sure why Meachum over Colston(which I think is a huge mistake not having him on your list). But still why Meachum. I put him at best as target 4 in New Orleans and 7 when you include Bush, Shockey and Thomas. He has some injury issues still and Moore has taken his spot. Henderson is the other starter.

Reggie Wayne is another big mistake. I wish the owner in my league believed this as I have been after him the last few weeks.

I agree re: Colston.Lance Moore's coming back and he will be in that Meachem/Henderson/Bush mix too.Colston is as good a value as can be gotten in drafts year after year.

Week 1: Johnny Knox vs. Detroit.

 

[Warpig]

Percy Harvin is going to tear up the Saints next Thursday. I think he should be in your rankings.

Harvin's head will explode as soon as the sunlight breaks the clouds.

 

[harryhood]

Steve Smith CAR vs. a less than stellar secondary.

I think the Giants are going to eat Matt Moore alive come next Sunday. This defense is pretty underrated currently, especially opening up a new stadium vs a rather green QB.

 

[Patswinin10]

is revis doesnt play boldin will be a top 10 option week 1

Something tells me there will be enough TDs to go around for everyone to have a good year. This offense is dialed.

 

[thehornet]

revis isnt playing and he wouldnt shadow boldin even if he was.

 

[rizzler]

I fully intend on revisiting this come Tuesday with my hits and misses..

week 1, i expect a lot of misses... but I am comfortable with my choices.

 

[Yenrub]

Don't the Patriots have a lot of injuries in the secondary?

 

[Tigerbot Hesh]

 

[Mainevent]

I agree with the posts that note that it is a mistake to leave Reggie Wayne off this list.

 

[Go deep]

Nice list, WR's are harder to predict than RB's.

I like Calvin at #1, he ripped up Chicago last year.

Jennings needs to be in the top 10, if not top 5. That game has shootout written all over it.

Garcon wont be in the top 20, too many tagrets in Indy.

 

[shadyridr]

My top 20:

Finley

That's a little disingenuous... he had a TD to go w/ those 30 yards.

I think the Giants are going to eat Matt Moore alive come next Sunday. This defense is pretty underrated currently, especially opening up a new stadium vs a rather green QB.

Keep in mind, this is the same Matt Moore that torched the Giants secondary for 3 TDs in the Giants last game at Giants stadium last year. The game was over in the 2nd quarter.
