Dynasty WR Rankings 1 - 10

1. Larry Fitzgerald - Age 25
Fitzgerald is 25 years old and by far and away the best reciever in the league.  His work ethic and strong supporting class makes him a no brainer here.

2. Andre Johnson - Age 28
Johnson had a overlooked monster season in 2008 and I believe he will top his numbers in 2009.  Houston is improving and he is in his prime.

3. Calvin Johnson - Age 23
2008 stats: 1331 yds and 12 TD's and that was with a mix of mediocre at best QB's.  While Stafford is a rookie this year and might struggle a bit, his addition will be an assett to Johnson's value in the future.  He is only 23 and has huge upside.

4. Greg Jennings - Age 25
Jennings keeps improving and could become a long time outstanding tandem with Aaron Rodgers.  He has a great work ethic and seems to want to improve himself.  At 25 years old he is ready to make the leap into the top tier.

5. Roddy White - Age 27
Roddy White backed up his good 2007 season with another stellar one in 2008.  For that he lands in the top five.  He has the talent and is paired with Matt Ryan which makes for a great situation for a good reciever.

6. Reggie Wayne - Age 30
Wayne dropped off a bit in 2008, but will rebound this year and still has some good years in front of him.  That he has one of the all-time greats throwing him the ball doesn't hurt.

7. Marques Colston - Age 26
Colston is helped by the situation he is in.  He is Brees' favorite target and is looked to frequently in the red zone.  He sufferred through knee injuries last year and did not produce as expected.  He is in position to rebound this year as he will see many targets all over the field.

8. Randy Moss - Age 32
Moss is getting up there in age but his upside for the next two or three years with Brady under center makes me put him here at eight.  Just know he will not be producing more than a few more years.

9. Anquan Boldin - Age 28
Boldin took a brutal hit last year that cost him some time and yet still put up good numbers (1038 yds, 11 TD's).  He is helped this year by staying in Az and playing opposite of Fitzgerald.  What the future holds for him is uncertain, but his talent alone is deserving of a top ten spot.

10. Steve Smith - Age 30
Smith is 30 years old but so was Randy Moss for his incredible 2007 season.  Smith is a top talent and is hindered by Delhomme and the Panthers run first philosophy.  If Smith can stay healthy he should still produce 1200 yard seasons with double digit touchdowns.  Well worth a top ten spot.
