Reggie Wayne #1 with Payton lock for 1100yrd 9+TD Greg Jennings Stud Might put him behind S.Smith but more upside IMO so ranked higher Steve Smith Very safe pick always puts up 1100+ 8TD +
Roddy White They say he is a bad ars and you can not go wrong. Team got better with Gonzo Marques Colston, If healthy all year could be #1 on this list with Brees. But...still a ?
Anquan BOldin TD machine, pass happy team, Fitz on other side. Dwayne Bowe Solid pick, low end #1 WR IMO

Put in order of who you would want from first to last... and explain why.
Reggie Wayne Greg Jennings Steve Smith Roddy White Marques Colston Anquan BOldin Dwayne Bowe
This is a bit tough but here goes
GregJennings...Donald Driver is really his only comp. James Jones might make a little noise but not enough to keep Jennings from staying where he is or getting to AJ's/Fitz level. Rodgers is gonna keep getting better and keep looking for Greg in the red zone. (9tds last yr and 12 the year before in only 13 games.)
Reggie Wayne...I'd take him second because last year was the norm for him. 80+ catches close to 1200 yds and 6-9 tds. 2007 was a year he might never have again. 104 rec, 1500yds 10 tds. Manning has more red zone options than Aaron Rodgers which gives Jennings the edge over Wayne.
Marques Colston...if this guy stays healthy he could go to the top of this list. The question is will he? Brees will be hoping so. At 6'4" he's a great red zone target but not quite as safe as Wayne and Jennings.
Steve Smith...just turned 30 and has a lot of miles on those tires. He's coming off a great yardage year but he'll start playing like he's 5' 9" more sooner than later imo. He has not played 16 games in a season since 05-06. Delhomme hasn't thrown over 20 tds since 05-06.
Anquan Boldin..I don't think there's ever been a WR2 that puts up the #s that this guy does. He's just good and is in an offense where they seem to pass first run 2nd.
Dwayne Bowe...lots of upside but will getting double and triple teamed lower his performance. I think he'll run a lot of slants this year and be good if he gets help from Mark Bradley.
Roddy White..With the arrival of Gonzo, I think his #s will go down. I don't see them going up from 1300 and 7tds but I've been wrong before.
Here is how I rank them: 1. Wayne- Peyton's #1 target is always money. The Colts offense just didn't seem right last year. I think a lot of it was Peyton missing training camp and the pre season. He is back and healthy and I think the Colts offense will explode this year
2. Jennings- I think that this year will be Jennings major break out year. Rodgers has a year under his belt and should even be better this year.
3. Boldin- The guy is a stud. He could be #1 on this list if this was a PPR. He would be a #1 WR on most NFL teams and he does benefit by having Fitz on the other side. The only reason Boldin is below Wayne/Jennings is because of his injury risk.
4. Colston- Plays on an explosive offense that throws the ball a lot. If he stays healthy, Colston is a lock for 80 grabs and 12 Td's. The emergence of L. Moore will hurt his numbers a little, but he will still get his fair share
5. Bowe- He looked really good last year with Tyler Thigpen. I think Matt Casell is a better Qb than Thigpen and the Chiefs are going to air it out this year. I see the Chiefs being behind a lot this year, so they are going to be forced to throw a lot. The Chiefs are very thin at WR, so Bowe could lead the NFL in targets.
6. S. Smith- I am not as high on Steve Smith as others. He has only scored double digit TD's once in his career and I just don't trust Jake Delhomme. I personally don't see Smith as a top 10 WR this year
7. R. White- If the Falcons didn't acquire Gonzo, I would have probably ranked White over Smith and Bowe. But, I just think that Gonzo wil steal a lot of receptions from him because a great TE is usually a young QB's best friend. Plus, with Turner I don't see the Falcons throwing a lot in the red zone. I expect Roddy's TD's to drop this year.
I had the same decision to make myself, and I DID take Jennings. This was in a Dynasty PPR league, but I'd still make the same decision in a redraft I think.
Greg Jennings-has improved his numbers every year,hasnt peaked yet, imo. Rodgers is looking good and no other competition for catches, clearcut #1 in a good offense that will be playing from behind alot. (my only concern is the tough schedule)
Reggie Wayne-Peyton's #1 WR, no more Marvin Harrison. The only knock on him is that when defenses focus on him, Peyton has no problem finding other options, so he has some clunker fantasy games and some huge.
Steve Smith-opposite problem than Wayne. Delhomme is throwing to him no matter what. It is a running offense, but that opens up the deep ball.
Anquan BOldin-He's finally playing in a contract year. (he thought he was last year and look at those results.) As long as Warners healthy, he'll put up good numbers. Gets alot of red-zone looks.
Roddy White-also hasnt peaked yet. Tony Gonzales could steal some catches, but could open things up.
Marques Colston-great QB and a great offense, but Brees spreads it around alot. Saints have too many other options for Colston to top this list. (Bush, Shockey, Moore, even Pierre will all see the ball anywhere on the field)
Dwayne Bowe-He's got the upside, but still not in a class with the others until he proves it. Im not convinced Cassell will have the same success in KC.

I hear you but with Colston couldn't you make the argument that Brees spread it out in 08 because Colston wasn't 100% healthy. If Colston gets that healthy spring in his step i don't think Brees spreads it out as much. I think Colston will have 12-15 tds in 09 if he can stay out of the doctor's office. Dude is huge and fast.
Good point. you could rank him ahead of Roddy and maybe equal with Boldin, that was a tough call,but i wouldnt put him ahead of any of the others. Its easy to overlook guys coming back from injury. He is the only legit WR and the saints play in about 16 shootouts a season. But i think he'll lose more catches to RBs and TE than the others will.
