Who are the top 10 WRs for NEXT year? (1 Viewer)

Sinners

Does Steve Smith stay near the top? Does TJ move ahead of Chad? Where does Andre Johnson land? Is Harrison off the list?

Here's mine. ;)

1. Randy Moss

2. Andre Johnson

3. Steve Smith

4. Reggie Wayne

5. TJ Housmanzadah

6. Braylon Edwards

7. Terrell Owens

8. Larry Fitzgerald

9. Chad Johnson

10. Roy Williams

 
looks like a pretty good list. Wouldn't be shocked to see Calvin break out, and Colston and Evans can't be too far behind...

 
Calvin hasn't really shown enough for me to put him in the top 10 yet. Detroit's Jekyll and Hyde offense is also why Roy Williams is at the bottom of my top ten. I can't tell if Colston is doing well against soft coverage or if the offense will keep going to him that much. Evans wouldn't even sniff my top 20. Who's the QB?

 
Tier 1 - Moss - will be an uberstud with Brady

TO - will be an uberstud with Romo

Tier 2 - Wayne - the torch has been passed

Edwards - is a beast and the Browns' O-line is young and solid, and the defense at least another year away from being competitive

Houshmanzadeh - the new go-to guy in Cincy

Holt - off year, Rams just need everyone to get healthy again, and Holt will be top 10 again

I'd be pretty confident that those 6 guys will stay top 10-12 (be WR1s), assuming no change in situation (IE Moss stays in NE, D. Anderson stays in CLE)

Tier 3 - Andre Johnson - seemed to really be putting it together this year before the injury, the Texans are young and up and coming

Steve Smith - still an elite talent, he's here assuming Delhomme comes back

Chad Johnson - has had an off year, but is still putting up great numbers, at some point the TDs will come

Plaxico - is money in the redzone, Manning loves him, team looks solid

I love Owens in Big D, but he;ll be Marvins age next year. I forgot about Holt and agree he should be up there. Who gets dropped? I love Andre! I might be biased by the two weeks he played though. :) Plaxico is always hot and cold. You think he'll be healthy for a full year and put up stats? Again, who gets bump off?
 
I`d like to see what Andre Johnson does the rest of this year before putting him at #2. At the least Edwards and Wayne would be above him.

 
Seems a bit premature to place Moss atop this typeof list in that he's not under contract with the Pats for next year . . .
He's a free agent, though, so he gets to pick his destination. Even if he doesn't stay with the Patriots, I'm pretty sure he's not going to go to an offensive "black hole" (pun very much intended) like the Raiders again. If he's on even a half-decent team next year, the fact that he's still Randy Moss after all should make him a mortal lock to finish in the top 5.
 
Marvin Harrison and Torry Holt will have something to say about this......
Holt maybe, but I think we've seen the last of Harrison's days as a top-10 receiver.
I'm not buying this, this is the first time Harrison has been injured in practically his entire career. I'm going to try to get him off the scrapheap in the offseason. The guy has taken as many hits in his career as Ed McCaffrey took in one game. He will be back, and I have a feeling everything will return to how it was. I think Harrison is the next Jerry Rice in that I think he will play till he is in his 40s.

good postingeveryone who claims that 35 is too old in the NFL does not know what they are talking about. It's a different game now, guys are in ridiculous shape until their 40's. Rice put up 83-1139-9 as a 39 YEAR OLD in 2001! 92-1211-7 as a 40 Year old in 2002. To say Harrison is done because he got hurt for the first time, ummm...EVER is beyond stupid. To say TO is not going to be good next year because he's "Harrison's age" is again dumb. Have you ever LOOKED at TO? The guy is made out of rock. Sure he'll eventually slow down, they all do, but I think its not going to be for a few years at least. And Harrison and TO are in great QB situations

:football: Marvin would be 11 on my list (see above). I just didn't think Harrison is as much a lock for the top 10 as the guys I put in my top 10. For one, I think Harrison's time off has allowed Manning and Wayne to develop more of a connection. And I think that Harrison will continue to draw the opponent's #1 CB, so going forward, I think Wayne gets more opportunities and does more with the looks he does get. Additionally, I think we're seeing a more balanced Colts' offense this year with their great (and young and improving) defense, which will also factor into decreased production for Marvin. This says nothing about Marvin's abilities (he's an all-timer, and I think his career will mirror Rice's), it's just that the rest of the league is becoming more pass-centric (look at what the traditionally "smashmouth" Steelers are doing), so there are more guys with maybe less talent than Marvin that are in a situation where putting up top 10 numbers is possible.
 
What is Chad's contract status? There was a rumor earlier this year he could be traded to the Colts. Obviously know one knows how legitimate something like that is, but... what if?

With the Colt's struggles at WR this season... something of that magnitude would obviously have an impact on CJ and Harrison.

Another guy that comes to mind is Mark Clayton of the Ravens; a guy with talent on the wrong team. Anyone know if is a RFA/UFA for next season?

 
Moss and OwensAsk me that queston 5 years ago I would have said the same thing then.
:goodposting: Physically speaking, probably the two best receivers of all time. After Moss' resurgence and TO's chemistry with Romo, there is no reason to think they will drop off.Edwards is top five. He has arrived.Andre Johnson has to be top five. He is incredible, and Shaub is capable of exploiting it. I'd put Housh here. His consistency has been unmatched this year.As for Smith...who will be throwing the ball next year?I'm not sure I'd draft Chad in the top ten. If so, it's towards the bottom of it. Boldin and Fitz have to be mentioned, but again it depends on who is tossing the ball and at what level.Burress rounds out my top ten.
 
after watching Jason Campbell the last few weeks without the training wheels, I say Santana Moss could finish in the top 10. :thumbup:

 
When Harrison comes back he will eat into Wayne's numbers.
Pretty sure when Harrison comes back Wayne will at least keep producing at his current pace with Indy in general putting more points on the board. He'll give them more opportunities to score which benefits everyone. Wayne is #1 there now. -in case there's any debate

Harrison coming back will help all of Indy's fantasy players, including Wayne. More yards, more redzone plays, longer drives, etc.
 
so Welker is a fluke? He's no 6 in my league, he's young and Brady loves him. Why do you think he drops out of the top 10 next year.

Housh is in there. Chad is toward the bottom and if Leinart sucks, Fitz and Boldin will too. Has Leinart shown you anything? :(

No way, maybe if he could stay healthy, but he can't so he will never be considered Top 10
He was in 2005 Top 6 in fact :hophead:
Top 3, in fact.

It's not so much that Welker is a fluke as it is that this year's Patriots are a fluke. Remember when Peyton Manning was having his record-setting year and Brandon Stokley wound up finishing as the 11th best fantasy WR in the league? Remember what happened to Stokley after Manning returned to simply great?

T.O. is too low on your list..he's the model of consistency, regardless of his age.he has to leapfrog Steve Smith and AJ..I'd put him at #2 , possibly #1, depening on whether or not Moss re-signs with NE next year..

:bag: I like this list a lot. First one I think so far that had Colston above Chad Johnson. I just wanted to chime in that I was suprised not to see Colston on most of the lists. He was leading my PPR league last year until he got hurt and was still 18th overall despite playing in only 12 games. He is 9th in my league right behing CJ and Holt and he had only 1 good game in his first 6. When the NO offense is clicking, he is one of the highest scoring WRs this side of TO and Moss (and Housh this year).I also like AJ a lot if he stays healthy. The difference between Carr to AJ and Schaub to AJ is night and day even if it has only been 3 games. He has had some 40-50 yarders with Carr in a few full seasons, but with Schaub he already has 2 70+ yarders in 3 games. It may be luck, but he sure seems more like a speedster than the possession receiver Carr turned him into, see Smith, Steve.
 
To is going to be what... 34 or 35 next yr; I would sell him this off-season.
So according to that he should have been slowing down the last year or so, no? He's got the perfect QB chucking him the ball and he's showed absolutely no signs of slowing. He won't get you the value that he's worth.

I actually like your list, even the gut-calls.But, are we to assume Moss stays in New England and Favre returns?If otherwise, how would you adjust?1. Randy Moss (leaving NE would drop him to 3-5)2.

I don't know how anyone would be comfortable rating Ocho Cinco or Housh very highly. It seems pretty obvious that a healthly and non-suspended Chris Henry changes the targets a great deal for the Bengals. Additionally, a healthy Rudi or whatever option they choose at RB should take something away from the passing game. To make things even more complicated, Chris Henry has out produced them both over the last 2 weeks. There will be a lot of WR points available for Benagls wide outs next season, but right now it's all but impossible to predict distribution.

It looks like another year that I won't target the "top 10 wr's" as there are a lot of good wr's that you'll be able to get pretty cheap.

 
My List.

Redraft!

Wayne

Edwards

Holt

Colston

Just missed

TJ

Roy

Plax

Boy that TO looked old today running by those defensive backs :lmao:
:shock: Excellent post....I mean TO looked unreal! When he wants to play he is a stud. Romo and Brady have gained the interest of Moss and Owens. I think Owens is a stud for at least 3 more years, the Cowboys are going to make some serious runs the next few years with that team. Owens is as exciting as ever right now. His 4 week stretch is unreal! This guy is something to watch! I will be first to admit I was wrong, I said he looked slow at camp, and he did. He did not practice that much, but the two days I got to see him, he looked fast but not as fast as before. Then I realized, Practice, are we talking about practice. Who really goes full speed at practice, only guys fighting for a position

TO is one of those players whose gamespeed seems so much faster than his 40 time. He seems to get behind the faster CB's and never seems to get caught when running for the endzone.

I understand what you're saying here, but Welker is definitely the #2 option at WR and Stallworth is #3. Regardless of where they're lining up, Welker is much more of the Wayne, while Stallworth is the Stokley, and I remember what happened to Wayne after Manning returned to great. Welker will probably drop off, but not nearly enough to warrant losing WR1-2 status.
