Here’s my Week 1 wide receiver rankings.

1. Andre Johnson – Best WR in the game.

2. Reggie Wayne – Still Peyton’s favorite toy.

3. Larry Fitzgerald – Should torch St. Louis.

4. Greg Jennings – I’m expecting big things from Jennings, starting Week 1.

5. Randy Moss – Always a threat to score, especially at home.

6. Marques Colston – Faces Vikes, who have issues in their secondary.

7. Calvin Johnson – Had 14 catches for 219 yards vs. Bears last year.

8. Chad Ochocinco – New England’s secondary is a mess.

9. Miles Austin – 13 catches for 139 yards vs. Skins last year.

10. DeSean Jackson – Stiff neck and facing Charles Woodson.

11. Roddy White – Faces Pitt, who should be better defensively.

12. Michael Crabtree – Should produce against Seattle.

14. Dwayne Bowe – Bounceback year starts vs. Chargers.

15. Percy Harvin – Favre will lean on Harvin vs. Saints.
