I think I would put them both over Ochocinco. Colston had injury problems last year, but as the season wore on he had 675 yards in the last eight games. Ochocinco has had 10 touchdowns just once and with a team whose offensive line is a mess. Colston plays for a team that will pass as much or more than any other. Also, Smith had over 1,400 yards and 6 touchdowns despite missing two games and Delhomme having a down year. I like Smith’s consistency and long touchdowns (depending on the league’s scoring format) over Ochocinco’s potential theatrics. That having been said, I think Ochocinco is probably 11 or 12 in the rankings, so I’m probably splitting hairs.

Definitely Steve Smith in the top 10. Or Colston. There are a half dozen guys I’d have in there over Ochocinco.

Housh being gone might make it harder for Chad Johnson ( I refuse to call him Ochocinco) because he’ll probably be double covered on most plays. He might do pretty good with Coles there to take some pressure off,but he’s definetly not in the top 10. Swap him with Steve Smith.

and you’ll see that Colston and Smith are right up there. I think Ochocinco (man, I have problems even typing that) can be the star this year though.

From 2003 to 2007, his receiving yard totals were 1355, 1274, 1432, 1369 and 1440 — with between 7 and 10 TDs each year. If Palmer is healthy (and he seems to be) and with a solid WR2 and a decent running game, there’s no reason Johnson can’t put up those kind of numbers again.
