Wide Receiver Rankings

Top Four Wide Receivers:

10. Who is Ron Mexico? (+390)
Deion Branch (67)
Muhsin Muhammad (81)
Michael Clayton (105)
David Givens (137)
I am not good. Deion Branch is probably going to sign, so I think I got some good value in that pick, but outside of him, I'm in trouble. It's a good thing that this is a points-per-reception league, or else Muhammad would suck real hard. Clayton should, hopefully, bounce back from a sub-par sophomore year last season. Givens is underrated. I also have some good, young guys on the bench in Mark Clayton, Ernest Wilford, and Braylon Edwards.

9. Naj Davenport's Poop (+306)
Hines Ward (25)
Javon Walker (54)
Matt Jones (96)
Joe Jurevicius (131)
If Matt Jones turns out to be the deep threat that everyone is predicting him to be, than this receiver group is going to take a huge step forward. Ward and Walker have both been hurt, but are both proven receivers. Walker is stepping into a system that will throw the ball less, but he should still see a good amount of looks. Jurevicius should see the most looks in Cleveland, especially if Braylon Edwards and Kellen Winslow develop into the threats they are projected to.

8. Tice's Partyboat (+280)
Randy Moss (21)
Donald Driver (47)
Keyshawn Johnson (99)
Kevin Curtis (113)
Can Aaron Brooks throw the ball? I'm not really sure, and Moss's season is going to depend a lot on that. Driver is now the prominent receiver in Green Bay, where Brett Favre will throw a lot because they will constantly be losing by 14-21 points. Seriously, their running backs are an injured/old Ahman Green and SAMKON GADO. I do like Gado, though. Johnson is a possession receiver that is going to complement Steve Smith nicely, but you have to think that the majority of the balls are going to Smith. Curtis will probably have an expanded role as Isaac Bruce is not getting any younger. Curtis in St. Louis reminds me of Brandon Stokley in Indianapolis.

7. Fresh Legs (+272)
Chris Chambers (28)
Rod Smith (66)
Reggie Brown (88)
Lavaraneus Coles (90)
The first person on the list with all four receivers ranked in the top 100. Chambers will definitely benefit from the addition of Daunte Culpepper. Everyone thinks that he is going to develop into one of the premier deep threat receivers in the league. Smith just keeps on doing what he does in Denver, and Coles has a really long first name. The pick of Brown was lauded early on, but with the Eagles' addition of Donte' Stallworth, Brown loses a lot of his fantasy value.

6. Father Abraham (+241)
Anquan Boldin (19)
Joey Galloway (46)
Joe Horn (73)
Drew Bennett (103)
Boldin is amazing. He and Larry Fitzgerald are going to develop into the best two receivers since Herman Moore and Brett Perriman. And we all know how awesome they were. Galloway broke out last year and had a great year for Baron. Lincoln is banking on another year like that. While Brown lost fantasy value with the Stallworth trade, Horn's value went up. He's the best receiver, by far, on a team that vastly improved at the quarterback position. Bennett is white, I think.

5. Madd Skillz (+239)
Steve Smith (10)
Chad Johnson (14)
Terry Glenn (91)
Brandon Lloyd (124)
Personally, I think Glenn is underrated on this one. He's poised to have a great year with Drew Bledsoe throwing the ball and Terrell Owens drawing double teams. He's got the ability, too, which anyone that saw his great preseason catch knows. What can you say about Smith and Johnson? They're two of the top three receivers in the league. Brandon Lloyd? He's keeper material.

4. Champeons (+225)
Terrell Owens (17)
Andre Johnson (53)
Lee Evans (69)
Eddie Kennison (86)
If T.O. plays significant time, he's the best receiver in the league. Johnson had a down year last year, and will have to step up and prove his keeper status. Evans proved himself as J.P. Losman's favorite target towards the end of last year. Champ loves Kennison, and we'll see if his love pays off in fantasy dividends.

3. Cellar Dwellars (+206)
Larry Fitzgerald (13)
Plaxico Burress (43)
Derrick Mason (70)
Keenan McCardell (80)
I already talked about Fitzgerald and Boldin. They're going to be amazing. Burress headlines the multitude of targets that Eli Manning has to throw to in New York. Mason already has a rapport with Steve McNair, and that should develop into fantasy points. I don't even like McCardell. Is he good? I thought he was like 42.

2. The Slumpbusters (+164)
Torry Holt (16)
Santana Moss (32)
Roy Williams (45)
Nate Burleson (71)
Holt does the same thing every year in St. Louis: catch a lot of passes and score a lot of touchdowns. My guess is that he'll do that again this year. Moss had an unpredicted great season last year, and everyone bumped his ranking up thinking that he can do it again. I doubt it, since his quarterback is still Mark Brunell. Williams is poised for a breakout season with the subtraction of Joey Harrington and the addition of Mike Martz. Burleson looked great hooking up with Matt Hasselbeck in the preseason, and will look for that success to continue in the regular season.

1. The Nihilist Marmot (+156)
Marvin Harrison (20)
Reggie Wayne (37)
Darrell Jackson (38)
T.J. Houshmanzadeh (61)
You know who loves passing the ball? The Indianapolis Colts. You know who their top two receivers are? Harrison and Wayne. That's guaranteed points right there. Good work, J.R. Shaun Alexander scores most of the touchdowns in Seattle, but Jackson is still their top receiver, despite the fact that they have numerous talented wide outs. Houshmanzadeh has a really long name, so good for him. I never thought he was any good, but last year he pretty much spit in my face.
