That's a new take on the 2 and 3 spot.

Has Johnson ever played a full season?

I like it

I agree with Mike with Jones at 2……could have a very big year.

I don't disagree just haven't seen that on other blogs.

What about Johnson?

nicks

You have him rated higher than anyone else I have seen. Curious what your expectations are.

I think he gets close to that

Victor Cruz isn’t going to surprise anyone this year and likely won’t have a repeat of last year.

I don't agree with all of this, but I appreciate that somebody is willing to make a list that doesn't just look like a carbon copy of everyone else's list.

Thanks guys

I thought I would get some shots at my ranks.

I think the Giants are going to score a ton and Nicks is such a beast when he’s healthy.

Although, I’m having 2nd thoughts of Nelson being a little low. What a play on Thursday night.

Andre has 5 16-game seasons on his resume.

I’m fully aware of my different rankings, but I’ve seen some other people (credible too) take every receiver higher than I have them ranked. Only exception is Brandon LaFell. I’m reaching big time.

nothing wrong with different rankings

in fact, I applaud it. You ranking them based on how you think they will do this season, not last season.
I think Fitzgerald is a little lower than I have him, but i understand the QB situation is not the best in ARI.

Nice job.
