NFL Playoff Predictions: Projecting the Top Postseason WRs

When the NFL postseason arrives, you'll hear about the old-school style of football that results from the winter weather across the league. 

For as crucial it is to have a sound defensive unit and a punishing running game in the playoffs, we're in an offensive-renassiance today, and the aerial assaults on defenses aren't going to simply stop.

Which receivers will be this year's premier postseason wideouts? 

Jordy Nelson

If Jordy Nelson isn't already known in your household, after this year's playoffs, he most certainly will be. 

He's caught 51 passes for 957 yards with an astounding 10 touchdowns this season. 

Aaron Rodgers looks for him far more than you'd probably think, and his 18.8 yards-per-catch average is extremely impressive. 

Nelson is big, physical and is a staple of the now-famed "back-shoulder" throw. 

He's in a for a huge January. 

Victor Cruz

Cruz is a stud. 

Point blank. Period. 

He's deceptively fast, can go up and bring down the jump balls and has tremendous yards-after-the-catch ability. 

Even if the Giants are in a cold game with snowy conditions, Manning can find Cruz on short slants where he does a great deal of damage. 

Santonio Holmes

Holmes didn't have his most productive day in a beatdown of the Chiefs, but he did score a touchdown on a four yard pass from Mark Sanchez. 

The guy is a playoff legend, as he seems to play his best football when the game and the season are on the line. 

Like the Giants, the Jets aren't a shoo-in the this year's playoffs, but if Gang Green does make it, there's not many other pass-catchers I'd rather have in the fourth quarter than Holmes. 

Simple as that. 

Antonio Brown

Mike Wallace is currently eighth, with 1,035 receiving yards in the NFL. 

Because of his presence, Antonio Brown has gone wild this season, taking full advantage of single coverage as much as possible. 

He actually averages more yards per catch than Wallace and, like Victor Cruz, is an unbelievable run-after-the-catch wideout. 

Lots of quick passes in the cold weather all go in Brown's direction, and he'll make the most of his opportunities.
