JML7211 0 Posted September 13, 2012 With so much parity and depth at the WR position this year I thought it would be interesting to see what people thought about the top ten wr's this year (for fantasy purposes). Here would be my top ten list. Not going to make a PPR/NON PPR distinction because the top then would remain relatively the same either way IMO (maybe with a few bumps up or down). 1)Calvin Johnson 2)Julio Jones 3)Andre Johnson 4)Brandon Marshall 5)Larry Fitz 6)Roddy White 7)Harvin 8)Steve Smith (CAR) 9)Mike Wallace (CAR) 10)Cruz Honorable Mentions: Hakeem Nicks, AJ Green, The resurgent Reggie Wayne There is another level of Brown, Decker, Maclin, Lloyd, Welker, Garcon, Dez, D. Thomas, Torrey Smith but some of those are interchangeable to me. NON PPR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JML7211 0 Posted September 13, 2012 Is Mike Wallace (Car) some sort of inside joke? No typo switched him and steve smith as i was doing it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KojackDaniels 5 Posted September 13, 2012 Ok, for starters...Steve Smith will not sniff the top ten. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frozenbeernuts 1,685 Posted September 13, 2012 Dont know who the carolina mike wallace is and also you said you wouldnt make a distinction between ppr and non ppr. Then at the end you sneak in a little non ppr on us. You trying to pull a fast one? Fitzgerald is off to a very slow start if he wants to be number 5 on the list.

SaintsInDome2006 156 Posted September 13, 2012 ... 1)Calvin Johnson 2)Julio Jones 3)Andre Johnson 4)Brandon Marshall 5)Larry Fitz 6)Roddy White 7)Harvin 8)Steve Smith (CAR) 9)Mike Wallace (CAR) 10)Cruz ... Some not surprising names there. I think a good question is if you had to pick 5 names to possibly crack that top 10 Usual Suspects list, who would it be? I don't think Wallace, White and Cruz make it (and I owned Cruz last year and this). Guys who could make it instead: Dem Thomas Mac Floyd Stephen Hill Pierre Garcon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SexyRexy 60 Posted September 13, 2012 Ok, for starters...Steve Smith will not sniff the top ten. I'll take a ballsy prediction here. I predict Steve Smiths body breaks down and LaFell emerges. So I will replace LaFell with Smith on that list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skinny_Bastard 157 Posted September 13, 2012 Fitz, Wallace, S. Smith and AJ will not be on this list come end of December. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll agree with all those. Except Garcon because he has a tough time staying healthy. Was super high on M. Floyd the beginning of the year but Rivers didn't look his way as much as I'd hoped. I'd add Kenny Britt and LaFell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SaintsInDome2006 156 Posted September 13, 2012 Is the Stephen Hill thing a sort of inside humor I'm not familiar with? My actual humor is much worse. I threw Hill in there as - yes - a reach, but I would not be surprised if one of this crop of rookie (or near rooks like Cobb) WRs breaks in. Marques Colston came close one year, Calvin was top-20 another, guys like Braylon Edwards have one great year, it can happen. ETA: "He became only the fifth player in the last 25 years to record two receiving touchdowns in his first game, according to ESPN Stats & Information. The others: Alex Smith (Bucs, 2005), Anquan Boldin (Cards, 2003), Charles Rogers (Lions, 2003) and Randy Moss (Vikings, 1998). " http://espn.go.com/blog/new-york/jets/post/_/id/15434/hill-loses-lunch-wins-praise I don't know about receptions and yards, but he could grab some plenty TDs from Sanchez this year.

justforbeer 41 Posted September 13, 2012 Reggie Wayne should be in there along with Garcon. L. Moore may sneak in there too. not liking Fitz, Wallace & S.smith. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's definitely a reach - but he may be one of the more underrated wr's still... even after last week. The Jets have been targeting him...A LOT. You need to put your best corner on Santonio so hes always going against number 2. Physically he's got everything you want (besides rocks for hands). There's a lot of potential here.
