In my biased opinion, its Reggie Wayne.

In my unbiased opinion it is between Larry Fitz and Andre Johnson. Probably give Fitz the edge because he has better hands.

Why is Ocho on this list over a guy like Reggie Wayne. This list isnt anywhere near as bad as your RB list though :D

It's so close between Andre Johnson and Larry Fitzgerald.

Johnson produces without the lack of a great QB, however. Not that Warner is elite anymore, but it certainly helps when he places the ball in the perfect spots. Schaub is so inconsistent, but Johnson still stands out on that offense.

Andre Johnson. Quietly, he continues to get it done.

Schaub is a lot better than he has been in the past (consistency wise). He leads the league in yards and is a shade under 70% completion percentage.

My only gripe about Andre Johnson is that he is always dinged up, although, I am not sure that he has even been on an injury report this year.

Still be been, but not great.

Still too many times he'll have a 3-4 TD game, and then respond with a 0 TD game, and a 1 TD game, and seems to turn the ball over nearly once a game (not a HUGE deal, but your QB shouldn't be turning the ball over every game).

But he has improved over the last few seasons. This year was a coming out party for him in a way.

Out of his 7 seasons, he's played in every game 5 of those seasons...

No Reggie Wayne?

Andre Johnson is the best receiver in the NFL, with Fitz a close second, and Reggie in 3rd.

I feel this would be more well known if Houston was on TV more, and if Houston had a consistent QB, because the guy catches almost everything thrown his way.

Being that cinco is on the list, I consider this thread a joke.
Give Mike Wallace a few years and he will own this list.

Nowadays everybody wanna talk like they got somethin' to say,
But nothin' comes out when they move their lips,
Just a bunch of gibberish,
And motherfuckers act like they forgot about Dre

Gotta go with Johnson. I think Moss at his best was better than these guys though.

I really think Calvin Johnson has the potential to be better than any of the guys on the list. He has just had horrible luck since he had one of the worst qbs I've ever seen at a major college(Reggie Ball) and getting drated by the Lions.

I'll tell ya.....if Sidney Rice shouldn't be on this list...he is definately an up and comer. He has impressed me all year with toughness, hard to tackle, outstanding hands and good size. Those Charger receivers are pretty darn good as well.
