Yes, I like those rankings too...although I find that this year the WR rankings get very cloudy after the top 7 or so players. I think most people will agree that the top 7, in whatever order, go like this: S.Smith, C.Johnson, TO, Holt, Harrsion, Fitz, Boldin, and then Moss should surely be in there around the end. After that, however, there are so many question marks that I think drafting a no.1 WR after those 8 are off the board will be a huge headache (not to mention drafting a no.2).
Anyway, I like the rankings, and agree that Holt definately deserves a spot near the top due to his consistency.

Pretty good again. I agree the top 7 (or 8 or 9 depending on Wayne/RMoss) re the same for most with the actual order just being different. Aside from that I would only make a few changes.
DJax should either be up a tier or Chambers should be down a tier. I think these 2 are the flipping point between the top WR's and the second tier guys.
Walker should be moved down IMO. Plummer is no Favre, not even an old Favre. Couple this with the facts that Walker is coming off injury, is on a new team (one that likes to run), and is still going to have to contend with RSmith; and Iwould knock him down a couple spots.
I also think RBrown and Lloyd should be bumped up a tier. I think RBrown could emerge as a nice target for McNabb and be the primary guy to try (I said try because we know he won't completely do it) and fill the void from TO. And Lloyd should emerge as a consistant WR in Washington assuming Brunell remains at QB. If Campbell comes in, then all bets are off.

Holt probably will see a slight dropoff without Shotgun Martz at the helm. I'd put TO first (by quite a bit), then Smith, Holt, Harrison, Johns, and Randy Moss relatively mixed up between 2-6. 7-10 is Wayne, Chambers, Boldin, and Fitz. So I agree with the top 10 generally.
I'd say below that... Javon, roy Williams, and Santana Moss are all too high. I'll believe Kitna when I see it, Javon is splitting catches from Jake Plummer with Rod Smith, and I'll never believe in Mark Brunell.
As far as sleepers, I'd mention Lee Evans, Reggie Brown, Eddie Kennison, and Houshmandzadeh.
i like all of your points ff coppola....except i wont be able to will myself into taking chambers before boldin or fitz....
possibly wayne though..i think hes gonna have a very big year b/c manning will throw for more than 4,000 again...and the colts wont be as dominant as last year...
even when holt had a terrible qb at the helm last year, he still put up numbers in a ppr league...so i will struggle with him...
you may have persuaded me to think t.o., t.holt, then s.smith however
I think tier 1 consists of 5 players - Smith, TO, Holt, Harrison, and Chad Johnson. I think that Edge and Warner will join forces to keep Fitz and Boldin from being that good this year. One of them needs to have a bad year for the other to have a good year. Same story for Wayne, I just don't think he will get the TDs this time. Chambers has the best chance to break out and jump up to the top tier, but too much depends on Culpepper coming back from injury and being good again. Randy Moss will be either really good or really bad. To be clear, I like where you have them in the rankings, but I think there is a big gap between the top 5 and Fitz, Boldin, Wayne, Chambers, and Moss.
After that, I think Kennison is too low, Santana Moss is too high for my tastes (but I understand why he is ranked there, and I think that is where he will go in most drafts), and Reggie Brown is too low - he has a ton of talent in a pass oriented offense (LJ Smith and Westy can't catch every pass).
Mark my words: Koren Robinson will be a top 15 WR by the time New Year's Eve rolls around. He is going to be the value pick of your draft this year, especially since he apparently doesn't rate wthin the top 50 WRs and is below several #2s.
I'm not saying pick him in the 3rd round, just make sure to grab him in the late middle rounds.
The first 6 WRs (Smith, Holt, TO, Fitz, CJ, Harrison) are interchangable enough but there's a quick dive after them IMO. The only one I would put back up there is Moss if he can stay healthy this year. He could end up being a steal in the 3rd round.
