LMS RANKING: NFL Wide Receivers 2010

Sorry this to so long to post, but we figured to get receivers done since there are more players ranked than any other position we do.

LMS NFL WR Rankings — 2010

1) Andre Johnson — HOU (101 rec, 1,569 yds, 9 TD)

He is the best all-around receiver in the NFL. Johnson can run the routes, break the tackles, beat the defender and most importantly, grab anything thrown his way.

He opens the field up for others to produce because of the attention he draws and makes more big plays than William Shakespeare.

One-on-one match ups are guaranteed for him (unless he's visiting Revis Island) because of his talent, size and work ethic. He's the main reason Houston's passing attack is best in the league.

2) Randy Moss — NWE (83 rec, 1,264 yds, 13 TD)

Even though Randy didn't catch the most passes, he was still the best receiver on the squad. He tied for the most touchdown receptions this season, and catches the long ball likes George Mitchell catches steroid users.

Year after year he has been among the best receivers in the league with this one being no different. If Welker isn't ready at the beginning of next season, look for Moss to get off to a fast start.

You can say he gave up and whined at times, but he still produced league high numbers. Despite his talent and success, people either seem to love him or hate him.

You can't not like Randy because of his numbers or pure talent. If you don't like Randy it's probably because of his attitude. If you're one of those people visit this link (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07G23zMGa4g), then tell us what you think.

If you still don't like Randy after this clip then you are probably someone who attends the Kentucky Derby or Masters on a regular basis.

He still produces high rate numbers with some of the best skills ever, no matter what people think of his attitude when he happens to have a bad game.

3) Miles Austin — DAL (81 rec, 1,320 yds, 11 TD)

One of the most pleasant surprises in the NFL was that of Miles "and miles of" Austin. His route running is crispier than a chain of KFC restaurants and is as physical as they come.

It wasn't hard to see Austin's breakout season approaching. Two years ago, he showed he had the hands and strength to play the position while everyone knew of his speed displayed during his return days.

Despite his size, he is tougher than Tiger Woods trying to turn down sex and is one of the more reliable targets in the game today.

Will his success continue? Maybe, he will either be known as a consistent pro bowler or a one-hit wonder. Only time will tell.

4) Reggie Wayne — IND (100 rec, 1,264 yds, 10 TD)

Wayne quietly produced solid numbers this season while Dallas Clark was getting all of the recognition at the receiver spot. His hands and speed combined make him a dangerous weapon while running routes that are smoother than the top of Mike Woodson's head.

He is a perfect fit for the pass heavy offense in Indianapolis with some of the best raw talent in the game today. He consistently produces the numbers each year to contend as a top three receiver and has never let injuries set him back.

5) Larry Fitzgerald - ARI (97 rec, 1,092 yds, 13 TD)

If Ronaldhino and Larry Fitzgerald had a baby, it would probably look something like Jar-Jar Binks. The dread-headed warrior can still catch any ball thrown his way.

Granted, Fitz didn't put up the numbers we expected, but he tied for the league in most touchdown receptions. He also didn't dominate any games by taking them over himself.

Larry seemed to be a productive role player instead of a superstar on an offense. He was still a top red-zone threat and put points on the board, which is ultimately what matters when it's all said and done.

6) Wes Welker — NWE (123 rec, 1,348 yds, 4 TD)

It was another successful season for Welker, leading the league in most receptions. Everyone already knows Welker's style.

He likes to run the underneath routes and let his legs do the rest. He is one of the few receivers who use their legs as a weapon over their hands.

Despite his size, Welker produces league-high numbers year in and year out. No irony intended, but he might be one of the most overlooked receivers today.

Although he might be vertically challenged, he is not afraid to make the catch over the middle and take the big hit.

Don't forget the impact he truly has in New England's offense. We believe Baltimore would've beaten the Patriots with or without Welker, but you saw how out-of-sync Brady was when he doesn't have a guaranteed reception waiting for him three yards from the line of scrimmage.

Hopefully the knee injury won't set this electrifying player back. If he could've found the end zone more times this season, he would be higher.

Leading the league in receptions with 1,300 yards as the No. 2 receiver proves how much of an impact Welker is for the Patriot.

7) Vincent Jackson — SND (68 rec, 1,167 yds, 9 TD)

Jackson had 1,100 receiving yards and nine touchdowns with only 68 catches giving him an average of 17.2 yards per catch.

He was one of the better deep threats in the league last season and broke out like a bunch of pimples on an 11-year-old boy.

He has one of the longest ranges in the game today and became a reliable target for Rivers as the season prolonged. What made Jackson so good was his consistency.

Every week Jackson would make a big play deep down the field, despite the score. If he can continue to make reliable plays down the field than he might have a long career in San Diego with Rivers.

8) Sidney Rice — MIN (83 rec, 1,312 yds, 8 TD)

As good of a year Rice had, we were disappointed by his lack of effort during the NFC Championship Game. That shouldn't define his season though, because Rice was another break out player with tons of potential for the future.

His style of play is similar to Vincent Jackson. A long, sure handed receiver who can contend in almost any deep ball situation. He was one of Favre's favorite targets in the end zone and looked his way in big play situations.

Rice can win many one-on-one situations and uses the sidelines to his advantage in any territory on the field.

Reliability surprised us, but his pure talent and skill give him the potential to be successful. Will he? That won't become clear until he plays with another quarterback other than the ageless one.

9) Roddy White — ATL (85 rec, 1,153 yds, 11 TD)

White had an "under-the-radar" season with the Falcons. He bailed them out of games by scoring game-winning touchdowns and is always reliable to set the offense up nicely.

White is an underrated player in terms of big plays and can run routes with some of the best in the game. He might also have some of the largest hands at the receiver spot (along with Brandon Marshall).

He can out-run many corners on one-on-one situations and has improved his leaping ability as well. White is finding success in the league and he hasn't even reached the highest level of competition he is capable of achieving in his young career.

10) Brandon Marshall - DEN (101 rec, 1,120 yds, 10 TD)

Despite the high numbers and amount of receptions Marshall accumulated, he was not consistent. We all know Marshall can catch any ball and make amazing plays after the catch.

His attitude seemed bipolar this past year. Before the season started he wanted out of Denver. Then they went 6-0 and he became happier than Lou Holtz taking Jimmy Clausen out for a steak dinner. Then Denver struggled again and Marshall became lazy and less reliable.

His pure talent and size already gives him an advantage as one of the best today, but his work ethic and consistency needs improvement or else could struggle in the future.

11) DeSean Jackson — PHI (62 rec, 1,156 yds, 9 TD)

Ranking Jackson out of the top ten was difficult because of the amount of big plays he produces. These are receiver rankings however, based off of the success at the receiver position, special teams not included.

Jackson can hurt you in both games though. His speed and agility is easily some of the best in the game and can hit the home run play whenever he touches the ball.

He's another receiver who was very successful, numbers wise, despite the little receptions accumulated. He was ranked at the top of the league for yards per catch (18.6) and should be taken as a serious threat each week.

12) Marques Colston — NOR (70 rec, 1,074 yds, 9 TD)

Colston is one of the best-bodied receivers with a ton of strength and focus in his game. He is one of the more fearless receivers and can climb the ladder extremely well.

Route running is a surprisingly positive part of his game. His speed and size would make you think otherwise, but his routes are as deceiving as Miguel Tejada's birth certificate.

He is a sure-handed target for Brees and the Saint offense. He is capable of putting points on the board weekly and comes up reliable more times than none.

13) Santonio Holmes — PIT (79 rec, 1,248 yds, 5 TD)

Holmes might be the most overlooked receiver in terms of producing numbers. He does a great job of getting open on crucial plays and will make the catch if he can get his hands on it.

His speed and quickness make it tough for many corners to defend him, but getting physical with him early can throw him off of his game.

When Holmes is off his game though, he always does a nice job of bouncing back at some point. He never gives up and plays all 60 minutes of a game.

Holmes is a quick, determined and sure-handed receiver who can keep the chains moving or produce a big play.

He is dangerous in all aspects of the aerial attack, but sometimes he comes and goes during a game.

14) Chad Ochocinco - CIN (72 rec 1,047 yds 9 TD)

What's not to like about this guy? He produces solid numbers almost every week while having fun doing so. Although Ocho might be the biggest clown in the league (possibly in sports), he brings focus and determination to the gridiron every week.

Over the past season, Ocho developed more of a leader role amongst the Bengals and seems to finally use his skills and humor in a positive way.

We could not be more proud of Ocho and his improvement over the past three years. He claimed to work out harder than ever at the beginning of the season, and his play on the field and on paper might just prove that.

15) Steve Smith — NYG (107 rec, 1,220 yds, 7 TD)

One of the most reliable, but underrated, receivers is Steve Smith. He became Eli's go-to-guy at the beginning of the year and only improved his game from there.

Smith had over 100 receptions and had a knack for making the big plays needed in crucial situations. One of Smith's best qualities is his awareness on the field. He knows where he needs to be on third down situations and gets himself an open look more times than none.

His soft hands have surprised us for the most part. One of the great components of Smith's game is his connection with quarterback Eli Manning. They always seem to be on the same page and are turning into a great hook-up through the air.

16) Greg Jennings — GNB (68 rec, 1,113 yds, 4 TD)

Overall, it was a pretty productive season for Jennings. He might not have found the end zone much, but he produced solid numbers in an offense that spreads the ball around.

Jennings' best quality as a receiver is his deep threat. Jennings can run down the field and fight for a ball better than anyone. His consistency lacked this year, but again, it might be because of how much Rodgers spreads the rock.

A lot of people were disappointed with Jennings because he didn't dominate the stat sheet like he's used to, but his production and presence on the field was very important to the success of Green Bay's offense.

Jennings wasn't even close to having a season he is capable of dominating, and Green Bay's offense looked good throughout the year.

With a consistently "big play" Jennings, this Green Bay offense has the potential to be better than it was last season, which is scary to think about.

17) Hines Ward — PIT (95 rec, 1,167 yds, 6 TD)

Hines Ward is just like a relationship between Chris Brown and Rihanna. Tough, physical and aggressive. Every defender needs to be aware of his presence, because if your not, he will knock you out.

Everyone already knows how well Ward can block, but as a pure receiver, we believe he is overlooked for the most part.

Sure he can block and hit, but he can also run smooth routes, make tough catches, run after the catch and take a big hit (all while he's smiling).

Ward's production was well above average this season. He is a go-to-guy in third down situations and is a proven reliable target.

18) Derrick Mason — BAL (73 rec 1,028 yds 7 TD)

Mason might be the most underrated receiver in the game today. He's another tough and physical receiver with over-looked skills.

Despite his Brett Favre-like behavior at the beginning of the season, Mason was very productive as a consistent and reliable target for the young Flacco.

He's a wily vet who can bring a tough mindset to any passing attack. His receptions were down this year (compared to what we're used to seeing), but his yards, points and all-around presence easily make up for that.

His receptions being down may be because of the high amount of dump off passes Flacco threw to the underneath routes.

19) Donald Driver — GNB (70 rec, 1,061 yds, 6 TD)

Driver had a solid season on paper, but only sometimes on the field. Granted, Driver produced points and yards, but he dropped many crucial catches during games this year.

He's another wily vet with a tough attitude in his game. He is a player every organization would to have because of his attitude, work ethic, demeanor and talent.

He's a perfect fit for Green Bay and compliments Jennings like a bowl of nuts at a bar.

20) Anquan Boldin — ARI (84 rec, 1,024 yds, 4 TD)

Boldin turned into the Bionic Man when he got smashed in New York two years ago. This man continues to keep fighting and producing whenever injuries hit him.

Injuries did hurt Boldin's numbers this season, but he made up for it when he was on the field. His toughness goes unquestioned along with his pure talent.

He is a reliable target in any situation and came up big in third down and red zone situations. It's hard to see Boldin out of the top ten for once, but his impact in a game is fun to watch. He continually makes big plays and always plays with a determined and hungry attitude.

21) Steve Smith — CAR (65 rec, 982 yds, 7 TD)

Smith came on towards the end of the year when Moore took over quarterback duties for Jake Delhomme. At first, Smith looked lost in the Panther offense and made no impact in the beginning weeks.

His play during that time aggravated him so much he told everyone he no longer fits with their offense. Looking back, it seems no one would be a good fit with Delhomme under center.

Once Moore took over, Smith was making consistent plays and jumping around the field like Tiger on crack.

He has already carved MVP-caliber play in the past, and with Moore more than likely starting next season, Smith's chances of reaching that level are highly possible.

22) Calvin Johnson — DET (67 rec, 984 yds, 5 TD)

He is another stud receiver who was set back due to injuries. However, Calvin played above average for the amount of time he spent on the field.

Johnson seemed to struggle in finding the end zone this season. Fumbles started to become a concern for him at some point as well.

He is one of those receivers that can make any quarterback look good just on his big play ability and great hands. Johnson and Stafford have great potential, but health will ultimately determine the success they can find.

Overall, he is the best thing to happen for the Lions in a long time, but he needs to get back his killer instinct that seemed to disintegrate as the season prolonged.

23) Mike Sims-Walker — JAC (63 rec, 869 yds, 7 TD)

Sims-Walker was probably the biggest surprise at the receiver position this season. He is a long target that makes big catches in crucial plays.

Sims-Walker is better on that Jacksonville offense than he receives credit for. He has a knack for creating windows in tough coverage situations and has a 'silent but deadly' manner to his game.

He is another receiver who uses the sidelines well and is the most reliable player for that passing offense. Whenever the Jags needed a big play or Garrard was pressured, Sims-Walker was usually the one keeping the drive moving.

Sims-Walker bails out Jacksonville's passing game like a "get out of jail for free" card. Consistency seemed to be his weakness last season, but he is still very young and has a step ahead of his game.

24) Percy Harvin — MIN (60 rec, 790 yds, 6 TD)

"Show no mercy" Percy was one of the more electrifying receivers in the league last season. His quickness and toughness combined makes him a durable and trustworthy starter.

He was productive in both the receiving and returning game, and won offensive rookie of the year. His ability to make the catch and run makes him a dangerous threat every time he goes out for a pass.

Playing with the ageless one can't hurt his development either. Harvin capitalized on the opportunities he was placed with in Minnesota. It's only a matter of time before he gains a high level of confidence, then we will see Percy in his prime.

25) Terrell Owens — BUF (55 rec, 829 yds, 5 TD)

It seemed like T.O. went to Buffalo hibernating more than playing. If you're a T.O. hater, than there was little to complain about him this season. Despite his lack of spotlight, T.O. produced decent numbers in an organization that seems to be all over the place.

He is still one of the best receivers in terms of running after the catch, but his ability to get open seemed to fade away.

It's hard to evaluate Owens (or any Buffalo receiver) because of the number of changes Buffalo had at the quarterback position. Owens would have his games where he did almost nothing to contribute, but other times made plays that would either put points on the board or set the offense up to put points on the board.

The whole situation for Owens and Buffalo was awkward from the beginning, kind of like Brett Favre and Ted Thompson running into each other at the grocery store.

The talent and conditioning seem to be there for Owens, along with his ability to draw attention away from other receivers.

His emotions might be at an all time low however, and he might be feeling as unwanted as the last kid picked in a game of dodge ball on the schoolyard.

26) Hakeem Nicks — NYG (47 rec, 790 yds, 6 TD)

Although he didn't play much at the beginning of the season, Hicks became a big play receiver as the year progressed. His ability to catch the ball in stride is some of the best in the game and he has some of the biggest hands as well.

Nicks actually looks like a young T.O.—a big-bodied receiver with tons of strength and speed. He has great ability to accumulate big chunks of yards after the catch and shows a great amount of toughness in his play.

Determination and focus will determine Hicks success in the future, but his talent and confidence got him to where he is now on the Giants' depth chart.

27) Mike Wallace — PIT (39 rec, 756 yds, 6 TD)

Wallace was the home run threat in Pittsburgh's offense this past season. He has an "anything you can do, I can do better" attitude and can win many one-on-one deep ball situations.

He had a lot of yards and touchdowns compared to the amount of receptions he had and might be that tall receiver Roethlisberger has been waiting for.

He still needs time to learn the position, but it shouldn't be long. He has some of the best potential and was very under-looked when people were determining their offensive rookie of the year.

We don't believe he should've been named offensive ROY, but you wouldn't be wrong to give him a nomination.

28) Pierre Garçon — IND (47 rec 765 yds 4 TD)

Don't let the French name fool you; Garçon can play ball. He can beat many defenders with his movement off the line of scrimmage and has some of the best speed at the position.

Despite his dropped pass in the Super Bowl, Garçon had a major impact in Indy's passing attack.

He can break his route away and get open just on his pure speed. He has established himself as a deep threat and makes many over-the-shoulder grabs.

Garçon has the potential to permanently solidify himself as Indy's number two in the future. He will need to consistently make big plays for an offense more explosive than Barry Bonds' head over the years.

29) Mario Manningham — NYG (57 rec, 822 yds, 5 TD)

Manningham started off the season on a hot note, and then slowly disappeared as Nicks started to rise. His disappearing towards the end of the season shouldn't hurt his reputation as a productive receiver, though.

He was a reliable deep threat for the Giant offense and made many spectacular catches along the sidelines and in the end zone.

The Giants seem to have a triple threat receiving corps working in their favor right now. If all three can reach their full potential at the same time, we might be looking at a triple threat-receiving core similar to Minnesota's with Moss, Carter and Reed.

Will it happen? Comparing them with the Minnesota players from a talent standpoint, probably not. But comparing them with the Minnesota players from a productive numbers stand point, possibly.

30) Jerricho Cotchery — NYJ (57 rec, 821 yds, 3 TD)

Cotchery is the most under-used receiver in the league. He can run the routes, snag the deep ball, take hits over the middle and always shows passion and aggression in his game.

He didn't stand out this season on paper, nor did any Jet receiver. Cotchery, however, seemed to be the go-to-guy as the season drew closer towards the end.

His speed is often overlooked and he can be a great deep target for the up-and-coming Sanchez.

31) T.J. Houshmandzadeh — SEA (79 rec, 911 yds, 3 TD)

It was a below average season for the receiver with a tongue twister for a last name. Usually, T.J. is high on receiver ranks because of his numbers and impact he brings in a game.

His numbers weren't terrible, but his impact on the field was definitely missing. When he was productive, the Seahawks usually won their games.

Seattle won both games T.J. scored a touchdown in, but he remained out of the end zone for the final seven games of the season.

It seemed like we were waiting for T.J. to breakout for Seattle, and when it seemed like he was finally going to remain productive, he fell faster than Marcus Vick's draft stock.

He is a proven reliable target with unbelievable skills. Ranking him this low is hard to do, but these are end of season rankings. He will probably be much higher for the beginning season rankings in August because he is more than capable of bouncing back and playing like what were used to seeing.

32) Jeremy Maclin — PHI (56 rec, 773 yds, 4 TD)

Maclin fills in perfectly for the Philly passing attack. He is a quick and elusive player with big play capability in his game. He reminds us of a younger Reggie Wayne, a smooth route runner with solid hands.

As impressive as Maclin was his rookie year, he still has a lot to learn. He needs to figure out ways to get open more often and try to gain more yards after making the reception.

It will be interesting to see how Maclin develops. Playing with those skill players in Philly should help lead him to success, but he still needs time to develop.

33) Lee Evans — BUF (44 rec, 612 yds, 7 TD)

It was a tough season for another Buffalo receiver. Despite the Bills rotating quarterbacks like a game of musical chairs, Evans produced decent numbers in an unorthodox manner.

It was a roller coaster season for the Wisconsin Badger. Evans' season went up, down and all around. His inconsistency was the biggest weakness for hi, but again, that may be because of the quarterback carousel.

He can still run down the field and make big plays. He has some of the most under-rated hands in the game and can become a top receiver if he plays with an offense that actually knows how to play football.

34) Chris Chambers — KNC (36 rec, 608 yds, 4 TD)

Chambers had a feel-happy season. It looked like his once great career was coming to an end wit his time spent in San Diego. His productivity may have been at an all-time low until he reached a bye in week eight.

Chambers went to Kansas City and played well during the back half of the year. He accumulated 50 or more receiving yards in seven games and didn't go more than two weeks without scoring a touchdown.

Despite his end of season success, Chambers was overlooked like Gary Coleman in a crowded room of people. He showed he could still play at the high level of competition he is capable of and might be hungrier than he's ever been at success.

35) Roy Williams — DAL (38 rec, 596 yds, 7 TD)

For everyone who says Dallas wasted a first-round pick on Roy Williams, you might be correct. But for everyone who says Roy Williams is not a good receiver, you might be as senile as Bobby Cox looks in the Braves' dugout.

Williams has some of the biggest hands and bodies at the receiver position. He will make the catch more times than none and is a receiver who will be where you need him to be in certain plays.

His ability to get open seems lazy and with little effort. He did come out publicly and say he was disappointed with his play, which means we could see a much more improved Roy Williams coming.

There's not much to improve though, other than getting open and consistency. He still does a great job running the inside routes and throws the stiff arm as well as any other receiver.

Maybe Jerry Jones should give him some Orville Redenbacher as a signing bonus like he did for T.O.

36) Mohamed Massaquoi — CLE (34 rec, 624 yds, 3 TD)

Massaquoi has one of the best bodies to play the receiver position. He is a long, fast and fearless player with tons of under-rated skills.

He can contend for the deep ball against many NFL corners and surprises folks with his big play ability.

If your not careful, Massaquoi can go off on any game. He is another receiver who produced decent numbers with an offense that changed their quarterback quite a bit.

Given more time to learn the league, and a comfortable offense to support him, Massaquoi has potential to produce consistently solid numbers.

37) Robert Meachem — NOR (45 rec, 722 yds, 9 TD)

Meachem was a touchdown machine this season. Anytime you can put that many points on the board for your team, you've got to be recognized for your work.

Meachem's not, though; he is rarely talked about in the Saints' offense but still puts more points up than people realize.

Not too much to say about this young talent. He will more than likely breakout in one or two years as a top receiver, but right now he is as over-looked and under-valued as they come.

38) Santana Moss — WAS (70 rec 902 yds 3 TD)

It was a tough season for any Redskin player, coach, employee, fan or community member. His productivity in terms of statistics was pretty low to what were used to seeing.

He never took over the Redskin passing game like were used to seeing either. We understand its hard to catch a pass from someone throwing the ball on their back, but Moss never stood up to take over the leadership role once every other productive player got hurt.

Other than snagging 10 catches in one game, Moss found little success throughout the season. He got worse as the season prolonged (as did the Redskins franchise) and really struggled in the back half of the year.

He can catch many tough passes and make many defenders miss in his route running and open field skills. He will need to prove his elite status next year with Shanahan now running the show.

39) Antonio Bryant — TMB (39 rec, 600 yds, 4 TD)

This was another receiver who has a roller coaster season in terms of productivity. He really caught on towards the end of the season (as did Tampa Bay as a whole) and brings an arrogant but aggressive attitude in his game.

His ability to make big play catches are still there for him, and he gets open nicely for his quarterback to make accurate throws.

He is a big, sure handed target that struggled early but came on strong as the season progressed. He might be suffering from the same sickness Buffalo receivers faced, playing with too many different quarterbacks.

40) Dwayne Bowe — KNC (47 rec, 589 yds, 4 TD)

Bowe missed too many games this season to stay a top the league as a productive receiver. Injuries were the obvious set back here, but he produced nicely when he was actually playing at a high level of health.

A healthy Bowe in that Kansas City offense might be something to watch out for next season. Our only advice to Bowe is to rub some dirt on it, get back in the game and he will be as successful as he's proven to be.

41) Laveranues Coles — CIN (43 rec, 514 yds, 5 TD)

You might be under-estimating the sneakiness of Laveranues Coles. Coles would have his games where he made little to no impact at all. Then Coles would surprise folks with coming up big in key games and a reliable target as games drew closer to the end.

These aren't numbers we are used to seeing Coles put up, but his age along with his role in that offense may keep Coles from reaching that status again.

It's sad to say, but we have to keep realism in check here. This was just as sad as watching Torry Holt's career slowly fade away.

There is always next year to prove us wrong, but anything more productive than what he did this year would be a pleasant surprise.

42) Johnny Knox — CHI (45 rec, 527 yds, 5 TD)

Although Knox has a pretty successful season, he had no business of making the Pro Bowl as a receiver or returner. Knox making the Pro Bowl makes as much sense as Michael Vick choosing Ron Mexico as his alias name... none!

However, Knox is a tough kid with a lot of heart when he plays. He is not afraid to take a big hit for his size and can get himself open just on his quickness and agility.

He will be a nice target for Cutler in the future and can impact a team's offense given time to mature.

43) Braylon Edwards — NYJ (35 rec, 541 yds, 4 TD)

Edwards drops so many passes he should be sponsored by Butterfinger. Despite the amount of passes he drops, Braylon has proven his big play ability in the past and showed signs of it returning in New York.

The change of atmosphere is what Braylon may have needed to get back on top as a top receiver. He is more dangerous in the deep game than any other aspect, but will make you throw your hands in the air screaming "WTF what that?!?!" more times than he will make you go 'ooooh' or 'ahhhh'.

He will now have a fresh start entering New York next season, and he could have more confidence than he has had in the past.

44) Michael Crabtree — SFO (48 rec, 625 yds, 2 TD)

It was hard for us to like Crabtree, from a personality perspective, after he held out 11 weeks of the season. Once Crabtree was geared up however, he easily became the most productive wide receiver on the team.

Now Vernon Davis was the most productive player in San Fran's passing attack, but the receiver position might have been resurrected with the big play impact Crabtree is capable of.

We expect a much higher ranking for the beginning of next season, but missing the first 11 weeks of any season will hurt your production.

Bottom Round Out:

45) Devery Henderson — NOR (51 rec, 804 yds, 2 TD)

46) Louis Murphy — OAK (34 rec, 521 yds, 4 TD)

47) Nate Washington — TEN (47 rec, 569 yds, 6 TD)

48) Malcolm Floyd — SND (45 rec 776 yds TD)

49) Josh Morgan — SFO (52 rec 527 yds 3 TD)

50) Devin Aromashodu — CHI (24 rec 298 yds 4 TD)
