2011-12 NFL Playoffs Divisional Round Fantasy WR Rankings
Here are the Lester’s Legends wide receiver rankings for the Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs.
1. Hakeem Nicks @ Green Bay Packers: Nicks is healthy and it’s showing. He torched Atlanta for 115 yards and two scores and he’ll be active against the Packers.
2. Marques Colston @ San Francisco 49ers: Colston has been red hot, averaging 108.4 yards and a TD in his past five games.

Rookie WRs Who Will Outplay Their Draft Value 📈
3. Jordy Nelson vs. New York Giants: Jordy has six TDs in his past four games. With 15 TDs on the year, he’s a dangerous weapon.
4. Wes Welker vs. Denver Broncos: Was quiet in the first meeting (four catches, 41 yards), but we all know what he’s capable of.
5. Victor Cruz @ Green Bay Packers: Only catch two passes for 28 yards last week, but had seven catches for 119 yards in the first meeting with the Packers. I expect we’ll hear from him in this one.
6. Demaryius Thomas @ New England Patriots: Thomas went off last week, joining Calvin Johnson in the 200-yard club. He had seven catches for 116 yards in the first meeting with New England. Tebow will likely have to open things up again.
7. Andre Johnson @ Baltimore Ravens: Did he do enough last week to ease my fears? With 90 yards and a TD I’d say yeah.
8. Michael Crabtree vs. New Orleans Saints: Averaged 77.0 yards in his past seven games.
9. Greg Jennings vs. New York Giants: Jennings has been out since Week 14, making him a bit risky, but he’s dangerous if healthy. He had 94 yards and a score in the first meeting with the Giants.
10. Mario Manningham @ Green Bay Packers: I think Cruz eats into Manningham’s production this week, but Manningham remains a solid play.
11. Robert Meachem @ San Francisco 49ers: Exploded for 111 yards and a TD last week. Inconsistent, but the way Brees is playing you can’t count him out.
12. Anquan Boldin vs. Houston Texans: Will his knee allow him to bounce back? Looks like it, but I wouldn’t rush to trust him.
13. Eddie Royal @ New England Patriots: Has the quickness to exploit New England’s shoddy secondary.
14. Torrey Smith vs. Houston Texans: Boldin’s return should free things up for Smith.
15. Deion Branch vs. Denver Broncos: He is not consistently part of New England’s game plan with Welker, Gronk, and Hernandez seeing most of the looks. But Branch knows how to deliver in the playoffs.
16. Devery Henderson @ San Francisco 49ers: Not a good sign when Brees throws 43 passes and you only get two targets. He did catch them both though, taking one to the house.
