Dynamic Duos: Ranking the NFL's Best Offensive Tandems

In today's game, it is almost imperative for a team to have a system of two running backs. And the same thing probably applies for wide receivers.

The Giants, Titans, and Cardinals are just three team that own one of the league's deadliest offensive tandems. So what team owns the offensive tandem? That's for you to decide.

But here are the best of the best.

Thunder and Lighting

LenDale White and Chris Johnson, Tennessee Titans

There is a reason the Titans got are off to a 10-0 start. Yes, Kerry Collins has done a phenomenal job as Tennessee's signal-caller, but their running game is a huge part of their success.

Johnson lead's the team in rushing yards while White leads the team, as well as all other running backs in the league, in total touchdowns.

DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart, Carolina Panthers

The Panthers weren't expected to do much in the NFC this season, but their 10-3 record is good enough for first in the NFC South.

And though Jake Delhomme is back from Tommy John surgery, Steve Smith being one of the league's top receivers and Julius Peppers looking invigorated, the Panthers' ground game is what make them dangerous.

Both guys have rushed for six touchdowns so far, but Williams leads the team in rushing yards with 1,141. Both guys have also rushed for at least 100 yards in the same game twice.

Belichick's Kids

Randy Moss and Wes Welker, New England Patriots

Despite not having Tom Brady as their quarterback this season, Welker and Moss have still produced with Matt Cassel as their signal-caller. Welker only has one touchdown compared to his eight last season, but his 1,002 yards receiving leads all Pats' receivers.

Moss, however, leads the team with eight TDs and 841 yards receiving.

Together they average 141.8 yards per game.

Birds Flying High

Anquan Boldin and Larry Fitzgerald, Arizona Cardinals

Boldin and Fitzgerald are the best wide receiver tandem in football, hands down. Arizona has the most exciting offense in the the NFC, if not the entire league.

And though Steve Breaston can be thrown into the mix as well, no one gets it done like Boldin and Fitz. Boldin leads all receivers in touchdowns and leads his team in receiving yards, despite missing time with a fractured sinus. Fitzgerald has 1,148 yards receiving and nine touchdowns.

Together they average 179.6 receiving yards per game.

While Marshall was suspended for the first game of the season for off-the-field problems—Royal came from no where in Week One, catching nine balls for 146 yards.

Once Marshall returned a week later, he then made a statement by catching 18 passes (tied for second all-time) for 166 yards.

Both receivers have reached the end zone at least five time this season, but Marshall is the leader in receiving yards with 1033. And with Jay Cutler as their signal-caller, the Broncos' air attack has looked almost perfect at times. 

It Takes Two...Or Maybe Not

Though the guys listed below aren't officially a tandem, their firepower is just as good as the guy listed above.

Colt Thunderers

Reggie Wayne, Dallas Clark, Anthony Gonzalez, and Marvin Harrison, Indianapolis Colts

The Colts got off to a shaky start, but lately have looked somewhat like the Colts of old. Wayne leads the team both receiving yards (918) and touchdowns (5).

Gonzalez is second on the team in receiving yards (608) and has been an excellent slot receiver.

Harrison has lost a step, but he has still produced five touchdowns along with 583 yards receiving. And as for the star tight end Clark, he's yet to have a 100 yard game—but 542 receiving yards and four touchdowns are good now that Harrison has been back in the lineup this season.

Earth, Wind, and Fire

Brandon Jacobs, Derrick Ward and Ahmad Bradshaw, New York Giants

The Giants average 154.6 rushing yards per game thanks to their three-headed monster.

Jacobs (Earth) is by far the one of the league's biggest and most hard hitting backs, standing 6'4" and weighing 264 pounds. He is also the G-Men's primary back, leading the team with 1,002 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns.

Ward, (Wind) who came up with whole Earth, Wind and Fire nickname, didn't score his first TD until Week 12 at Arizona—but he is still a force on the ground. His 669 yards rushing is second on the team, and averages 61 yards per game both rushing and receiving.

Bradshaw (Fire) has 319 yards rushing yards this season, and rushed for a season-high 96 yards against Baltimore in Week 11.

All three guys have had at least one game of 95 yards or more this season.
