Your fantasy football drafts are closing in faster than you think, and they will be here before you know it DON'T BE UNPREPARED! We've gone through our 2008 Quarterback Rankings and 2008 Running Back Rankings, now lets take a look at who tops the list in our 2008 wide receiver rankings.
1. Randy Moss, New England Patriots
2. Reggie Wayne, Indianapolis Colts
3. Terrell Owens, Dallas Cowboys
4. Braylon Edwards, Cleveland Browns
5. Larry Fitzgerald, Arizona Cardinals
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that Randy Moss should rank number one in our fantasy football cheat sheets with a record 23 touchdowns. The three things you can count on in life are death, taxes and the Colts putting up gaudy numbers, so Reggie Wayne, who led all receivers in yards last season, takes the number two spot by a nose over Terrell Owens. The Cardinals Larry Fitzgerald may be the most talented receiver in the league, but the less than stellar quarterback duo of Matt Leinart and Kurt Warner prevents him from taking the top spot.
6. Andre Johnson, Houston Texans
7. Marques Colston, New Orleans Saints
8. TJ Houshmandzadeh, Cincinnati Bengals
9. Steve Smith, Carolina Panthers
10. Plaxico Burress, New York Giants
Texans’ receiver Andre Johnson could easily be in the top five on our fantasy football cheat sheets, but health concerns for both he and quarterback Matt Schaub make him a somewhat risky draft pick this year. When he is active he is as dominating receiver as there is in the league. With the Saints passing more than any other team in the league, Marques Colston is a great pick if for nothing but the opportunity. The Giants’ Plaxico Burress is a touchdown catching machine, and is Eli Manning’s number one target. Look for him to post similar numbers to last season.
11. Torry Holt, St. Louis Rams
12. Brandon Marshall, Denver Broncos
13. Roy Williams, Detroit Lions
14. Anquan Boldin, Arizona Cardinals
15. Chad Johnson, Cincinnati Bengals
16. Greg Jennings, Green Bay Packers
17. Santonio Holmes, Pittsburgh Steelers
18. Wes Welker, New England Patriots
19. Lee Evans, Buffalo Bills
20. Marvin Harrison, Indianapolis Colts
Broncos’ receiver Brandon Marshall had a controversial off-season with a “mysterious” injury and multiple incidents with the law but if he is healthy and not struck down by the commissioner, he’s a WR1 quality receiver. The Patriots’ Wes Welker benefited from matchups when teams were forced to cover both Moss and Donte Stallworth, but without Stallworth stretching the field a drop in receptions should be expected. Marvin Harrison had a controversial off-season of his own, but if he is on the field, he is as good a receiver as anyone.
21. Roddy White, Atlanta Falcons
22. Calvin Johnson, Detroit Lions
23. Donald Driver, Green Bay Packers
24. Dwayne Bowe, Kansas City Chiefs
25. Jerricho Cotchery, New York Jets
26. Bobby Engram, Seattle Seahawks
27. Laveranaues Coles, New York Jets
28. Bernard Berrian, Minnesota Vikings
29. Kevin Curtis, Philadelphia Eagles
30. Hines Ward, Pittsburgh Steelers
The physical freak Calvin Johnson will show us what he is made of after a back injury held him down for most of 2007. Without Mike Martz in Motown, Johnson will have to work harder for his catches. He has the raw ability and has a chance to rank in the top ten in next year’s fantasy football cheat sheets. The Jets tandem of Laveranues Coles and Jerricho Cotchery make excellent second wide receivers but are often forgotten in fantasy drafts.
