- Randy Moss - Best WR of my generation. Averages 13 TD's per season. Tom Brady is back
- Larry Fitzgerald - Perfect skills for the WR position. Perfect hands, perfect routes, perfect speed
- Andre Johnson - Taller, stronger, faster than Calvin Johnson.
- Calvin Johnson - Amazing season on a crap team with a crap QB
- Greg Jennins - Just like 2 Johnsons, cannot be stopped
- Steve Smith - The Allan Iverson of the NFL. Scoring machine who can't be stopped
- Maquis Colston - Just like #3-5, has all the skills to dominate any game. Hurt too much
- Brandon Marshall - Street baller with raw skills but gets the job done when sane
- Roddy White - Skills a little raw, but skills are off the charts
- Reggie Wayne - Helps to have Manning, but dude runs routes perfectly.
- Chad Ochocinco - Can't overlook 6 1200 yard seasons. Makes D Hall look silly
- Terrell Owens - On his way out of league, but he has more TDs than Moss, respect
We are four humble men who love sports, but hate sports commentary. Peter Gammons is our hero and John Madden is our enemy. If you were to ask us our purpose, our answer would be simple: "We are forever locked in Mortal Kombat for the souls of sports fans everywhere. Statistics are our science and 'the immeasurable character of men' is the obsolete religion of blind faith. Our job is to prove that God doesn't exist and that athletes are merely cold, metal machines with no hearts or souls."

TBO: Top 12 wide receivers
Short and sweet
I agree with you on the top 6. After that I agree with the players for the most part, but not the order exactly.
ReplyDelete1) Randy Moss
ReplyDelete2) Andre Johnson
3) Larry Fitzgerald
4) Reggie Wayne
5) Calvin Johnson
6) Roddy White
7) Anquan Boldin
8) Chad Ochocinco (assuming Carson Palmer stays healthy which is a big fucking risk)
9) Steve Smith
10) Marques Colston
i have a problem with wayne being that high. He's a 1100 guy when people below him are 1300-1400 yard guys. Also, he;s not a TD machine.
ReplyDeleteI'm kind down on Boldin. I think he's losing a step, or maybe that hammy injury is still in my mind.
Steve Smith never gets respect
Ochocinco is sooooo underrated. He would make more money if he shut up
I love Colston's body. I expect top 6.
I hope andre johnson gets like 1800 yards this year. He's that good, also he's on my fantasy team
I love Wayne's football sabermetric numbers
ReplyDeleteOver the past five years, Wayne has averaged 1246 per year. Granted he's only average 8.4 TD per year but three times in the past five he's hos gone over 9.
Last year was also uncharacteristically bad that it seems to be the outlier, not the rule. Plus, even though Harrison was shit, he was still taking balls away from Wayne. Harrison's departure probably helps Anthony Gonzales more than it does Wayne but still, another bonus to Reggie. Plus Peyton is playing healthy this year. The beginning of last yr he was hurt which hurt Wayne .
So many signs point to Reggie getting 1300+ yards and a 9 TDs- minimum
I love Steve Smith too, I objectively don't think he's 9, yet I kind of don't think he's better than everyone above him either, yet he'll probably be a top 5 wide out this year. Ironic huh?
Ochocince is underrated because he needs Palmer to be healthy and Carson Palmer again and that's a pretty big risk to take.
Now judging you list:
ReplyDeleteBrandon Marshall's of the field problems will affect him on the field and thus affect his fantasy numbers. He'd be a top ten guy if I could guarantee him playing time
T.O. won't even the best receiver on his own team. His receptions have decreased the past three years as well
I don't trust Colston's health to have him above 10 for me- though no doubt a fantastic weapon for that passing offense in N.O.
