NFL Power Rankings, Playoff Edition: Roddy White and the Top 10 Wide Receivers

The Regular season is finally over and Wild Card Weekend is upon us.

There are great matchups in the first round of the playoffs and they will only get better as the postseason progresses.

It is important for teams to run the football in the playoffs, but what about that big play wide receiver?

Few teams in the postseason have the luxury of a playmaking wide receiver.

Here are the top 10 wide receivers this postseason.

10. Braylon Edwards, New York Jets

Regular Season Stats: 53 receptions, 904 yards, 7 touchdowns

The New York Jets will travel to Indianapolis to take on the Colts in the first round of the playoffs.

The Jets are hoping to redeem themselves for last year's AFC Championship loss.

Braylon Edwards had a solid season for the Jets and posed as a deep threat all season long.

Edwards scored some big touchdowns in some big games and the Jets will need him to do the same in the postseason. 

9. Santonio Holmes, New York Jets

Regular Season Stats: 52 receptions, 746 yards, 6 touchdowns

Another Jets receiver made the list.

After missing the first four games of the regular season due to a suspension, Santonio Holmes ended up having a solid year for the Jets.

Fans can only wonder what he would have done if he did not miss those four games.

Holmes will be a key factor for the Jets in the playoffs.

8. Marques Colston, New Orleans Saints

Regular Season Stats: 84 receptions, 1,023 yards, 7 touchdowns

Saints wide receiver Marques Colston is coming off his fourth 1,000-yard season as a pro in just five seasons.

The Saints have plenty of weapons, but Drew Brees knows whom he can count on and that is Marques Colston.

The Saints play the Seahawks in Seattle in the first round, and Drew Brees and the Saints offense should have no problem carving up that defense.

7. Wes Welker, New England Patriots

Regular Season Stats: 86 receptions, 848 yards, 7 touchdowns

New England Patriots wide receiver Wes Welker did not catch 100 passes for the first time in three seasons, but he is what keeps the chains moving for that Patriots offense.

When Welker runs those crossing patterns, it absolutely carves up opposing defenses, and it will do the same this postseason.

Welker has been Tom Brady's favorite target over the past few seasons and nothing will change in the playoffs.

6. DeSean Jackson, Philadelphia Eagles

Regular Season Stats: 47 receptions, 1,056 yards, 6 touchdowns

Is there a better playmaker in the postseason than DeSean Jackson?

DeSean Jackson caught just over 1,000 yards on just 47 receptions, an amazing 22.5 yards per reception.

Jackson is probably the best deep threat in football and he will definitely make some big plays during Wild Card Weekend.

Jackson had plenty of big games this season, including Week 14, where he caught four passes for 210 yards and a touchdown.

5. Mike Wallace, Pittsburgh Steelers

Regular Season Stats: 60 receptions, 1,257 yards, 10 touchdowns

After the departure of Santonio Holmes, many wondered if Mike Wallace could step up and be the No. 1 wide receiver.

Well, Wallace has done just that.

Wallace averaged an impressive 21 yards per reception and made big plays for the Steelers all year long.

He is a nightmare for opposing defenses, but we have to wait another week to see him in action.

4. Greg Jennings, Green Bay Packers

Regular Season Stats: 76 receptions, 1,265 yards, 12 touchdowns

Greg Jennings posted his third straight 1,000-yard season and caught 12 touchdown passes for the second time in his career.

Jennings started off slow, not getting his first 100-yard game until Week 6, but ended having a great season for the Packers.

Jennings and the Packers will travel to Philly to take on the Eagles in the first round.

3. Reggie Wayne, Indianapolis Colts

Regular Season Stats: 111 receptions, 1,355 yards, 6 touchdowns

The touchdowns were down for Reggie Wayne, but he did catch 100 passes for the second year in a row.

Wayne is one of the most reliable wide receivers in the league and he has the luxury of having Peyton Manning as his quarterback.

Wayne had three catches for 55 yards in last year's AFC Championship against the Colts, and he will look to exceed those numbers this weekend.

2. Dwayne Bowe, Kansas City Chiefs

Regular Season Stats: 72 receptions, 1,165 yards, 15 touchdowns

After suffering from injuries in 2009, Dwayne Bowe responded by having a career season in 2010.

Bowe caught a league leading 15 touchdowns and was quarterback Matt Cassel's primary target all season long.

The Ravens are going to have their hands full with Bowe, which should be a great matchup.

1. Roddy White, Atlanta Falcons

Regular Season Stats: 115 receptions, 1,389 yards, 10 touchdowns

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Roddy White had a career year and is one of the main reasons the Falcons earned home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.

White led the league in receptions and was second in receiving yards.

Like Mike Wallace, we will have to wait another week to see White in action, but it is always fun to watch No. 84 play.
