  1. If I had to pick the top-5 receivers in Fantasy football, then here's the list and the reason why....

    1) Randy Moss - New England

    He could of have a bigger payday somewhere else with a league-record 23 TD (most in a single season for a WR) but where can you find a caliber QB like Tom Brady to pass the ball to him in this league...not many. Moss took less money than expected to stay in NE, hoping to get another title shot after there "perfect" season ended in defeat. He still has Brady to pass the ball to him but he's not going to reach 23 TD again, especially with a good 2nd WR in Wes Welker and Benjamin Watson taking TD's away from Moss. The matter of the running game is still questionable but I expect a solid, but not great, season from Moss.

    2) Terrell Owens - Dallas

    For the first time since he came to this league, he's letting his game do the talking while keeping off the spotlight for one whole season, something T.O. couldn't do in the past. As a result, the Cowboys came back as the elites of the NFL and became America's team once again, despite being eliminated the last two season in the playoff. T.O. is making life easier for Romo (unlike Romo significant other, if you know what I mean) on and off the field. I expect T.O. to exceed or at least keep up with the same pace as last season, if he can keep himself in control for another season under new head coach Tony Sporano.    

    3) Reggie Wayne - Indianapolis

    The torch has been carried to Wayne and could take an accustom as the new number one receiver, even if he's number two in the passing offense. The emergence of Anthony Gonzalez and the presence of Marvin Harrison might take some numbers away from Wayne, but I expect Wayne to be consistent throughout the season.

    4) Andre Johnson - Houston

    Another receiver in the state of Texas, AJ miss 5 games last season due to injuries, yet still had 8 TD. A full season under QB Matt Schaub would have him projecting better numbers if he stays healthy.

    5) Braylon Edwards - Cleveland

    All it took was a good QB to have Edwards breakout after years of disappointment since coming to this league out of Michigan. Derek Anderson wasn't suppose to be the guy but he fits the profile and Edwards manage to stay healthy to become a Pro-Bowl status WR. B.E. might regress a little if Anderson falters, but he still has Brady Quinn to pass to him and Kellen Winslow as his partner in crime, so either way, Edwards looks like a solid pick.  

    The rest of the pack...

    6) Steve Smith - Carolina (Sitting out first two games of the season)

    7) Larry Fitzgerald - Arizona (Still good, no matter which QB it is)

    8) T.J. Houshmandzadeh - Cincinnati (the new Reggie Wayne)

    9) Marques Colston - New Orleans (Could be MVP candidate in YR 3)

    10) Torry Holt - St. Louis (Already reach the age of 30, good or bad)  


  2. 1. Randy Moss

    2. Terrell Owens

    3. Braylon Edwards

    4.  Andre Johnson

    5. Reggie Wayne

    most of these guys will put the draft rankings  up, but this is how  I would draft them

  3. 1. RandyMoss

    2. Terrell Owens

    3. Reggie Wayne

    4. Chad Johnson

    5. Marques Colston

    Avoid Andre Johnson and his groin injury.  Steve Smith also slipped down due to the suspension.

  4. 1. Randy Moss

    2. Terrell Owens

    3. Reggie Wayne

    4. Braylon Edwards

    5. Marques Colston

  5. moss, to, wayne, fitzgerald , and colston

  6. Randy Moss

    Terrell Owens

    Reggie Wayne

    Braylon Edwards

    Larry Fitzgerald

    Strength of schedule played a big part in putting Wayne behind owens and Keeping Andre Johnson out of the top 5

  7. Moss, TO, Braylon Edwards, Andre Johnson, Chad Johnson

  8. Randy Moss, T.O. , Reggie Wayne, Braylon Edwards, and Larry Fitzgerald.

  9. Gotta go with Moss as numero uno.

    TO and Wayne would be 2/3 or 3/2.

    I still like Chad and Andre Johnson 4/5 5/4
