A simplified PPR WR Ranking list for those who will consult it in the future

Tier 1

1 Calvin Johnson WR/DET  – Highest upside combination with youth- this WR should and will produce his best season as a pro in 2011

2 Andre Johnson WR/HOU– Yet to reach double digit TDs is because he gets nicked up every year , started already w/ a broken finger

Tier 1.5
3 Larry Fitzgerald WR/ARI – intermediate Route runner meets intermediate and accurate Qb , expect normal fitz #s

4 Hakeem Nicks WR/NYG –  Redzone threat unlike anyone besides Mega , best hands in the NFL , size and speed with it

5 Roddy White WR/ATL –  PPR beast , TDs will go down , Turner is slow , Ryan will be at his best this yr , may move him up

6 Greg Jennings WR/GB – Not a lock by any means , TDs for him are fickle and occur on long plays , but great qb great O  keep him here.

Tier 2
7 Mike Wallace WR/Pit  – YPC will come down , receptions up , yards and tds the same

8 Vincent Jackson WR/SD – undervalued , 15 td potential but will never realize it 80 1200 10 more like it

9 Dwayne Bowe WR/KC – valued properly , obvious huge game potential weekly , Cassel still scares me , but he will score

10 Miles Austin WR/Dal – Has bust written all over him , has Romo there to say otherwise , excellent strength and speed , will be his last year as the wr1 in Dallas

11 Reggie Wayne WR/IND– Lost a step , gained some savvy , usually stays injury free , Manning will still look , DO NOT EXPECT LAST YRS NUMBERS

Tier 3
12 Mike Williams WR/TB – TD beast , explosive player, not sold on freeman , am sold on his talent

13 Jeremy Maclin WR/PHI – Realized his upside last year , you won’t see much better , but in that O you won’t get worse

14 Desean Jackson WR/PHI – Injury risk , mark it down he will miss time , but he will also score from 80 yards out

15 Dez Bryant WR/ DAL – take the next step Dez , add some firepower to the top of this boring position

16 Santonio Holmes WR/NYJ –  Better per game last yr than I thought , stay healthy and you’re lookin at 250 ppr points

17 Brandon Marshall WR/MIA – Bad Qb , unsure what to make of his breakdown , prob staying away from him , but talent keeps him in top 20

Tier 3.5

18 Percy Harvin WR/MINN – The guy will produce , some do not like him but I LOVE him in round 6 , migraines a thing of the past 75 catches a thing of the future , Mcnabb chucks it at WRs feet , Harvin is great at going  low

19 Marques Colston WR/ NO– Do not like him , average explosion , spread the ball around there , injury risk  , but 10 td potential and ppr skillset is nice

20 Pierre Garcon WR/IND- LOTTA mouths to feed there , like him after Harvin , but before Collie , He is an injury away from WR1 numbers , not bad for a 6th rounder , youth  plus peyton = upside

Tier 4

21 Austin Collie WR/IND – Risk meets upside here , concussions are a problem , play him when healthy and smile

22 Wes Welker WR/NE – Average numbers last year , overrated as a PPR guy because of his name and offense , I’ll pass

23 Brandon Lloyd WR/Den – Orton bumps him back up , great at adjusting to a poorly thrown deep ball , only TD threat on the team

24 Kenny Britt WR/Tenn – at 22 has a lot of maturing to do , luckily FF players don’t lose points for starting Dbags

25 Mario Manningham WR/NYG – A LOT of people pumping him up , he will NEVER be better than last yr , he reached his ceiling , may stay there for a year or two , but tds are hard to predict, Nice mid round pick though

26 Sidney Rice WR/SEA –   will get force fed in the RZ , 8 tds is probable 70 catches a definite , talent to make his bad qbs a tiny bit better

27 Steve Johnson WR/BUF – Fluke , Bust written all over him, slowed down A LOT to end the year , weak arm qb , I do not believe in anyone on that offense besides the Fjax and MAYBE Spiller

28 Anquan Boldin WR/BAL – I’ll pass , he burned me last year , going to be even slower this year , faded to end the season last year , Floyd burned them , Mason/Heap left , NOBODY on that wr corp ready step up- expect an injury

Tier 5

29 Mike Thomas WR/JAX – youth on side , coach and qb who like him, mjd losing a step , Thomas makes a nice wr3 -4 in ppr

30 Chad Johnson WR/NE – Name is better than his production , looked OK in Cin last yr , but didn’t create enough space- great QB , but will spread it out thin , COULD have one last good year tho, won’t match his draft positon

31 Lance Moore WR/NO – Benefits from Bush departure , Colston creates no separation anymore , Moore over the middle  = nice receptions in the long haul

32 Johnny Knox WR/CHI – Love the talent , like the offense ,  but will never produce over the long term , big games one week bad the next , it is who he is , expect it and if you draft him , add consistency elsewhere

Tier 6

33 Danny Amendola WR/STL – good hands , pesky player , A LOT of clutter in that WR corp
34 Malcolm Floyd WR/SD – wr2 upside , Td upside , injury away from big points
35 Steve Smith WR/CAR – talent always there , running game gets back on track this yr , can’t be worse than 2010
36 Michael Crabtree WR/SF – BUST , is only here because of the upside , will adjust accordingly as the season progresses

ON BUBBLE:
Santana Moss, Earl Bennett, Mark Clayton , Mike Sims Walker , AJ Green , Julio Jones , Jordy Nelson , James Jones, Jerome Simpson , Jordan Shipley

ALL OF THESE BUBBLE GUYS hover around the same value as amendola through Crabtree- Moss will be the first to move into the 36 once I update and get that Bum outta here.
