Fantasy WR rankings

1. Randy Moss- Yeah, everyone has Andre Johnson or Fitz as the #1 but take into account what we've seen in pre-season so far. Warner looks average and Johnson will no doubt be solid but bitten by the injury bug. Now did anyone see Brady heaving the ball to Moss in game 1? once his timing is established there is nothing keeping Moss from prominence.

2. Andre Johnson- As long as he is healthy, he is an animal.

3. Fitzgerald- although Warner is a concern for me it really doesn't matter who throws him the ball.

4. Calvin Johnson- Regardless who is at the helm, the Lions will be playing from behind and throwing often to guess who?

5. Reggie Wayne- The number one guy now without Marvin and a healthy Peyton is back. Remember Peyton was hurt last year and it showed.

6. Greg Jennings- He has the 4th easiest schedule against DB's this year in a balanced offense with a QB who can throw.

7. Anquan Boldin- His red zone threat puts him up there along with his toughness.

8. Marques Colston- Obviously, the number one WR on a pass happy team.

9. Steve Smith- If that shoulder is really healed, then he is the only option on this team. Deangelo Williams will not come close to 20 TD's and teams will focus on him.

10. T.O.- He will ask for the ball and he will get it. Buffalo brought him in to use him extensively and they will.

11. Vincent Jackson- The Chargers are primed for a Super Bowl trip and face a weak division. VJ is the #1 WR here and will get plenty of touches.

12. Roddy White- He has the 7th easiest schedule againts DB's and a good QB throwing to him. Only problem is if Matt Ryan runs into the sophomore slump.

13. Wes Welker- Brady is back and will look for old reliable often.

14. Tj Houshmendzadeh- Faces the 10th easiest schedule against DB's and the Running game has the #1 easiest schedule in the NFL. Hasselbeck is healthy this year and will use his new toy.

15. Brandon Marshall- even with Orton back there, I expect Denver to be down often with their horrible defense and have to throw often. His sheer number of touches I think puts him up here still.

16. Roy Williams- though not sold on him, teams will have to focus on the Running game and leave Roy in single coverage often.

17. Santonio Holmes- He may have had his bust out party in the Super Bowl. Think Ben is comfortable with him now? Hines is older and wearing down.

18. Chad Johnson- Healthy Palmer, finally the unquestioned #1, a year until contract time. Those add up to Ocho being as focused as ever. This is his shot and he knows it.

19. Dwayne Bowe- I am not at all sold on him and Coach Todd Hailey recently called him out. The fact that he is their only receiving threat puts him here.

20. Deshaun Jackson- Philly will open it up a bit more with Jeremy Maclin to take some pressure off DJ. We will see how Westbrook heals up which would help DJ's cause.
