Comments |
|
1 |
Terrell Owens, SF |
A knack for the endzone and more
upside potential makes Owens the #1 receiver |
|
2 |
Marvin Harrison, IND |
Averaging 100 receptions and 13
TD's a year for the past 4 years, any questions? |
|
3 |
Randy Moss, MIN |
Potential alone ranks Moss in the
Top 3 not to mention averaging 14 TD's a year |
|
4 |
Joe Horn, NO |
Horn could make a good case for
being in the top 3 if it wasn't for Stallworth |
|
5 |
Eric Moulds, BUF |
Look for Moulds to improve on his
great year last year with Peerless Price gone |
|
6 |
Hines Ward, PIT |
1,300 yards and 12
touchdowns could easily be duplicated if not exceeded in 2003 |
|
7 |
David Boston, ARI |
Led the NFL with 1,598 yards but needs to
increase TD production to move up |
|
8 |
Donte' Stallworth, NO |
Stallworth looks to
improve his receiving yards and 8 TD's and we think he will |
|
9 |
Peerless Price, ATL |
Price's value may be down at
first, but look for him to step it up in Vick's absence |
|
10 |
Donald Driver, GB |
Driver should match his 2002
output of 1,000+ yards and double digit TD's |
|
11 |
Amani Toomer, NYG |
With Hilliard's
return from injury, look for Toomer to have even a better year |
|
12 |
Koren Robinson, SEA |
Look for a breakout year in his 2nd
yr with 1,400 yards and 10+ touchdowns |
|
13 |
Plaxico Burress, PIT |
Burress will get his
yards and TD's but ranks lower due to teammate Hines Ward |
|
14 |
Torry Holt, STL |
A healthy Warner plus a new
contract equal double digit TD's for Holt in 2003 |
|
15 |
Derrick Mason, TEN |
Look for Mason to
improve on his 5 TD performance and rank among the top WR |
|
16 |
Chris Chambers, MIA |
Injuries kept Chambers numbers
down so you'll get this sleeper at a bargain price |
|
17 |
Laveranues Coles, WAS |
Coles will improve
his TD production to match his excellent receiving yardage |
|
18 |
Rod Smith, DEN |
Smith will rebound to more normal
numbers (10 TD's) than he posted in 2002 |
|
19 |
Isaac Bruce, STL |
A healthy Warner and opposite Holt
could produce great numbers for Bruce |
|
20 |
Jerry Rice, OAK |
Rice will get his
share of TD's as Brown, Porter, and Gannon continue to impress |
|
21 |
Chad Johnson, CIN |
Johnson should easily double his
TD production and is a great sleeper pick |
|
22 |
Jerry Porter, OAK |
Porter is the main Oakland target
for Gannon and will continue to improve |
|
23 |
Santana Moss, NYJ |
Moss will be in the
limelight now that Coles is gone, look for much improvement |
|
24 |
Ashlie Lelie, DEN |
Lelie will replace
Smith as the main man, and gets our sleeper endorsement |
|
25 |
Todd Pinkston, PHI |
Pinston's stock
rises with the loss of Thrash, makes him the main man in Phily |
|
26 |
Marty Booker, CHI |
Numerous team
injuries impacted Bookers performance, but he'll rebound in 2003 |
|
27 |
Rod Gardner, WAS |
Gardner scored 8
TD's last year and now has Coles to take away the pressure |
|
28 |
Troy Brown, NE |
A knee injury slowed
Brown all year, look for a healthy Brown to double his TD's |
|
29 |
Keyshawn Johnson, TB |
Keyshawn improved his TD's and
now will look to increase his receptions in 2003 |
|
30 |
James Thrash, PHI |
Thrash would rank higher if the
Eagles didn't spread the ball around so much |
|
31 |
Travis Taylor, BAL |
Taylor has a modest year in 2002
and we don't see anything but another 8-10 TD's |
|
32 |
Josh Reed, BUF |
Reed is an excellent player but
the presence of Bobby Shaw moves Reed down |
|
33 |
Tai Streets, SF |
Streets will start
opposite Owens and we expect him to double his TD output |
|
34 |
Tim Brown, OAK |
Brown's TD's fell to 2 in 2002,
due mainly to Jerry Porter. Expect 7-9 TD's in 2003 |
|
35 |
Quincy Morgan, CLE |
Morgan is young and
still learning, but we expect 7-9 TD's opposite Northcutt |
|
36 |
Jimmy Smith, JAX |
Smith drops in our rankings due
to his 4-game suspension for substance abuse |
|
37 |
Darrell Jackson, SEA |
Jackson will
compliment Koren Robinson and we expect 7-8 TD's for the year |
|
38 |
Dennis Northcutt, CLE |
Of the 4 Cleveland
WR's, Northcutt may emerge as the best and pull in 7-8 TD's |
|
39 |
Charles Rogers, DET (R) |
Look for a breakout
rookie year from Rogers and he learns the Detroit system |
|
40 |
Steve Smith, CAR |
Smith will open the
season opposite Muhammad and lead the team in TD's |
|
41 |
Ike Hilliard, NYG |
Hilliard will start
opposite Toomer, and with Shockey, leaves little to go around |
|
42 |
Javon Walker, GB |
Walker will compete
with Ferguson to start opposite Driver and will get 6-8 TD's |
|
43 |
Reggie
Wayne, IND |
Wayne, starting opposite
Harrison, will put up 2nd receiver numbers of 7 TD's |
|
44 |
Marc Boerigter, KC |
Boerigter will beat out Johnnie
Morton and start opposite Eddie Kennison |
|
45 |
Joey Galloway, DAL |
Galloway will
flourish under Parcells and improve his ranking among all receivers |
|
46 |
Keenan McCardell, TB |
Too many receivers
in TB but look for McCardell to put up a consistent 6-8 TD's |
|
47 |
Curtis Conway, NYJ |
We're not as high on
Conway, who will start opposite Moss and battle Chrebet |
|
48 |
Corey Bradford, HOU |
Injuries limited Bradford in 2002
but look for around 6-8 TD's and 1,000 yds |
|
49 |
Kevin Johnson, CLE |
Johnson will have to
battle Morgan and Northcutt if he wants playing time |
|
50 |
Eddie Kennison, KC |
Kennison hopes to
expand his 2-TD season to match his good receiving yards |
|
51 |
Jerome Pathon, NO |
Pathon will fall to
#3 receiver behind Horn and Pathon and serve as a backup |
|
52 |
Ed McCaffrey, DEN |
McCaffrey is
recovering from groin surgery and having Lelie around won't help |
|
53 |
Brian Finnerman, ATL |
Finnerman's role will change now
that Price is #1, but expect a solid 6-8 TD's |
|
54 |
Robert Ferguson, GB |
Ferguson will compete for the
starting spot opposite Driver and could hit 6-8 TD's |
|
55 |
Andre Davis, CLE |
Davis will only excel if there is
an injury to one of the other Cleveland WR's |
|
56 |
Wayne Chrebet, NYJ |
Chrebet will have a hard time
matching the 9-TD season he had a year ago |
|
57 |
Terry Glenn, DAL |
Look for Glenn to rebound as the
main receiver under Parcells opposite Galloway |
|
58 |
Marcus Robinson, BAL |
Robinson will eventually start
opposite Taylor and respond with 4-6 TD's |
|
59 |
D'Wayne Bates, MIN |
Tough to start opposite Moss and
get your share of TD's, expect 4-6 TD's |
|
60 |
Muhsin Muhammad, CAR |
Muhammad is set for
a comeback year with the addition of Proehl and Dyson |
