Dynasty Rankings ~ WRs

Best Value Upgrades

6. Vincent Jackson SD ~ he finally becomes Philip Rivers' first option ahead of LT and Antonio Gates and he is now elite.
11. DeSean Jackson PHI ~ he has big play capability that doesn't disappoint.
12. Hakeem Nicks NYG ~ he is already on the same page with Eli Manning, and showing elite potential.
17. Percy Harvin MIN ~ he will be ranked higher if life after Brett Favre is better than Sage Rosenfels or Tavaris Jackson.
18. Jeremy Maclin PHI ~ he could be higher without DeSean Jackson ahead of him on the depth chart.
22. Steve Smith NYG ~ he is proving to be more than just a possession receiver.
23. Mike Sims-Walker JAC ~ he takes an enormous leap in value and assumes the primary WR role as David Garrard's favorite target.
24. Kenny Britt TEN ~ uncertainty at QB keeps his value this "low", but he is still getting a big bump up in value.
25. Miles Austin DAL ~ he recently exploded onto the scene and is not fading, jumping over Roy Williams in the rankings.
26. Nate Burleson SEA ~ TJ Houshmandzadeh's arrival did not relegate Burleson, so he has become a regular fantasy starter.
33. Sidney Rice MIN ~ Brett Favre's favorite target.
34. Mario Manningham NYG ~ Hakeem Nicks and Steve Smith keep him from going any higher, as he skyrockets up from ground-level.
36. Donald Driver GB ~ his age and Greg Jennings keeps him this low, but his value still increased.
41. Laurent Robinson STL ~ he became Marc Bulger's primary target over Donnie Avery...then broke his leg, but he still gets a bump in value.
43. Mohammed Massaquoi CLE ~ bye bye Braylon Edwards.
47. Mike Wallace PIT ~ Limas Sweed's drops paved the way to take a big leap in value.
50. Austin Collie IND ~ he is a smart WR, Peyton Manning's favorite kind, bringing him up 20 spots but with tapered expectations from Anthony Gonzalez's imminent return.
52. Julian Edelman NE ~ he looks like Wes Welker the second, but there can only be one for now. He is still a huge surprise coming up from the cellar.
57. Johnny Knox CHI ~ who does Jay Cutler like better as his second WR, Knox or Earl Bennett? I'm going with both, with this leap from the Deep Sleepers.
59. Pierre Garcon IND ~ he is buried on the depth chart behind better route runners, but he is a playmaker still taking a huge value boost.
69. Louis Murphy OAK ~ he showed lots of flashes, but is in the wrong organization and system, his potential brings him up from the depths.

Biggest Value Downgrades

16. Steve Smith CAR ~ Jake Delhomme along with lack of respectable Panthers' pass-catchers are responsible for this slide down from elite status.
32. Eddie Royal DEN ~ I am just as confused as everyone else so I'll blame Kyle Orton.
37. T.J. Houshmandzadeh SEA ~ this was inevitable and is typical for older WRs going to new systems with big contracts.
44. Donnie Avery STL ~ bad team, bad QB, and he was outperformed by Laurent Robinson before his injury.
51. Lance Moore NO ~ he is having a predictable demise when Drew Brees doesn't play favorites with anyone other than Marques Colston. Injury concerns don't help.
54. Santana Moss WAS ~ he has been terribly inconsistent throughout his entire career, and now his team is terrible.
55. Terrell Owens BUF ~ being a physical freak of nature and potentially signing with another team next year keeps him from sliding further.
62. Laveranues Coles CIN ~ he is being outperformed by Andre Caldwell.
63. Tory Holt JAC ~ he is a former great WR with knee problems and diminished skills on grass, but will continue to be a nice bye week/injury replacement for the next couple seasons.
64. Brian Robiske CLE ~ he had higher value with his average skills simply because he was supposed to be NFL ready...he wasn't.
71. Ted Ginn Jr. MIA ~ return yards don't count in my rankings, and only his playmaking potential keeps him this high.
105. Limas Sweed PIT ~ I hope he never has a child, I would be afraid of how many times that child would be dropped.
106. James Hardy BUF ~ he needs to actually be healthy at some point in time to prove himself.
107. Early Doucet ARI ~ when an average white dude with very average skills (Jerheme Urban) stays ahead of you on the depth chart, you have problems.
108. Chris Chambers KC ~ he was cut by the Chargers and supposedly gaining weight.
129. Michael Clayton TB ~ I gave him one more chance after signing a big contract...fool me once...
134. Plaxico Burress FA ~ jail.
