Welcome to our wide receiver rankings. They are here for your amusement. Don’t they entertain you? Are you not entertained!? Well, they are just wide receiver rankings. So I’ll understand if they don’t. If I could throw a poop joke in there somewhere I would.
Before you peruse these you should sign up for our Newsletter and check out the latest one I hand delivered last night. I’m a little like Santa. And then make sure you are in a Razzball Commenter’s League so you can take your fellow Razzballers on in a fight to the death.

I think you need another Johnson up there around 4 or 5. Didn’t you hear Ochocinco has changed his name for Bill.

Are you going to be posting these with any analysis? Just pure rankings with no analysis doesn’t do me that much good. You don’t need to write it for all of the players, but the top 20-40 at each position would be nice to hear the logic behind your rankings.
Also are more sleeper posts coming? Last year I owned Nicks everywhere thanks to you guys, but this year I’m not feeling that much love for anyone in later rounds, save maybe Rashad Jennings or Roy Helu…

Patience is a virtue my friend!
July 29th, 2011 at 7:55 am
@Doc: …but I don’t have the time, to quote the Talking Heads. Since free agency is just getting underway, I should think it would take another week or so before we can accurately comment on player situations, at least with any authority. Unfortunately.
July 29th, 2011 at 9:03 am
hey doc, why are you so low on boldin? now he doesnt have to compete with mason for targets.
July 29th, 2011 at 9:31 am
How many years you expect that Brady will be in top QBs group for fantasy?
July 29th, 2011 at 10:33 am
@trick dad: all indications are that he will have to compete with mason for targets.
July 29th, 2011 at 10:45 am
@Doc: Whatsup Doc??
Question: I have Vincent Jackson and Josh Freeman as keepers this year (15 and 16 round pick). I’m contemplating rolling with Freeman as my starter and using my first 4 picks on RB, WR, RB, RB. (I have the 7th pick). Based on your projections, it seems that unless i were to get a top 4 quarterback, i’m really only missing out on about 40 points by keeping freeman as my starter… Thoughts?
@The talented Mr. Dope man: I think you can get away with Freeman. His ceiling is lower than the other QBs in his tier, but he should be consistent.
@trick dad: I like Torrey Smith as well. Boldin should have played much better last season and what numbers he did have were mainly in one big game.
@ernie: I don’t see him slowing down.

I’m a little lost with projected auction prices this season. What do you think of these potential keepers in a 12-teamer with RB/RB/WR/WR/Flex and $200 budget:
J Freeman – $10
D Bowe – $28
S Rice – $17
M Williams (TB) – $12
Thanks!

What’s the free site people recommend to use for leagues — Yahoo, ESPN, or NFL.com? Thanks!
July 30th, 2011 at 12:29 pm
Yahoo is the worst. Espn is the best in my opinion and fantrax is good if you want total customization.
@Charles: I think Bowe may be a bit expensive. otherwise I like them.
July 30th, 2011 at 7:05 pm
Thoughts on Benn (TB) as a deep sleeper?
July 31st, 2011 at 6:24 am
@Doc: Would you move Fitz ahead of Wallace and Hakeem in a 1pt PPR league?
@DDT: I like his ability and think he will be decent this season, but the TB passing game is capped due to their style of play. His upside isn’t great with Winslow and Williams there.
@Cole: Yes I would.
August 1st, 2011 at 9:54 pm
Any chance of adding Receptions to the projections for us PPRers?
@Joe: Yep, should be up this week.
August 1st, 2011 at 10:59 pm
Thanks!
August 21st, 2011 at 11:34 am
make a printable version please not with all the dreary comments please. Ink is expensive
August 27th, 2011 at 11:02 pm
doc, keeper league. I’m looking at takin Wallace first pick after 5 keeps. u built the hype on him I believe. he’s had a boring pre season. and a. brown was huge tonight week 3. any concern? should I be leanin’ Jennings?
@uncle mowglie: It’s preseason. Wallace is the man.
September 2nd, 2011 at 2:13 am
I think Mike Sims-Walker scores 9 or 10 TD’s this year. Great mid to late round pick that is flying under the radar.
