With NFL Player Stocks ready to hit the market floor this afternoon, I have been preparing my own positional rankings so that I can be ready to compare what I have to what PROTRADE puts out. On Monday I posted my top 250, Tuesday my top 20 quarterbacks and yesterady I posted my top 25 running backs. Here is what I think for wide receivers, please let me know where my rankings differ from your analysis. Feedback is always appreciated (some of it, at least).
| Rank | Player | Tm | Bye | Comment... |
| 1 | Randy Moss | NE | 4 | Ranked as the 8th best WR last year, no question he's No. 1 this year |
| 2 | Reggie Wayne | IND | 4 | 08 marks the official "changing of the guard", Wayne is now main man |
| 3 | Terrell Owens | DAL | 10 | Owens has the most drops in the NFL over the past two seasons (27) |
| 4 | Torry Holt | STL | 5 | 2006 stat line: 93 rec, 1188 yds; 2007 stat line 93 rec, 1189 yds - No typo |
| 5 | Braylon Edwards | CLE | 5 | Broke out with 1200 yds, 12 TDs in '07, sky's the limit in '08 |
| 6 | Chad Johnson | CIN | 8 | Ignore off-field drama, CJ had 93 rec, 1440 yds, 8 TDs in 2007 |
| 7 | Steve Smith | CAR | 9 | Good for 1000 yards and a half dozen scores, could get a dozen |
| 8 | Brandon Marshall | DEN | 8 | 07 NFL leader in targets, 5th in catches, 6th in yards, 10th in YPTouch |
| 9 | Andre Johnson | HOU | 8 | Played in just 9 games last year, should be back to 100 rec form |
| 10 | Marvin Harrison | IND | 4 | After 8 straight 1100+ yd/double-digit scoring seasons, just 247/1 in '07 |
| 11 | Anquan Boldin | ARI | 7 | Has talent, has been productive... it's time for a breakout season |
| 12 | Larry Fitzgerald | ARI | 7 | Exactly 100 receptions and 10 touchdowns last year |
| 13 | Roy Williams | DET | 4 | 836 yards in '07 was down from 1310 in '06, should be better in '08 |
| 14 | Plaxico Burress | NYG | 4 | Plax has the potential to put up "top 5" type numbers |
| 15 | Marques Colston | NO | 9 | Colston's #'s improved from his rookie season, 3rd year could be huge |
| 16 | T.J. Houshmandzadeh | CIN | 8 | Started '07 with 8 straight games scoring at least 1 TD |
| 17 | Hines Ward | PIT | 6 | Ward has scored six or more TDs in five of the last six seasons |
| 18 | Santonio Holmes | PIT | 6 | NFL's top big-play guy in '07, led league with 18.1 yards per catch |
| 19 | Greg Jennings | GB | 8 | Whoever drafted Jennings looked smart, he had 12 TDs in 13 games |
| 20 | Lee Evans | BUF | 6 | Exactly 55 receptions and 5 touchdowns in '07, can he double it in '08? |
| 21 | Wes Welker | NE | 4 | 3rd year was the charm (112 rec, 1175 yds, 8 TDs), can he duplicate? |
| 22 | Donald Driver | GB | 8 | Driver had just 122 targets in '07, down from 167 in '06 |
| 23 | Bernard Berrian | MIN | 8 | Berrian will make Tavaris Jackson look decent, I expect 1000 yds/ 10 TDs |
| 24 | Calvin Johnson | DET | 4 | Cal hopes to improve on his rookie numbers (48 rec, 756 yds, 4 TDs) |
| 25 | Javon Walker | OAK | 5 | A goose-egg in the TD category last year plus a move to OAK? Avoid |
| 26 | Santana Moss | WAS | 10 | He's not young. A hammy in '06 and a groin in '07 has burdened Moss |
| 27 | Patrick Crayton | DAL | 10 | 7 TDs in '07, starting opposite TO should make him more productive |
| 28 | Dwyane Bowe | KC | 6 | Plenty of talent, but the biggest problem for Bowe will be his QB |
| 29 | Jerricho Cotchery | NYJ | 5 | If TD numbers improve, could be a top 20 WR, but for sure Jets No. 1 |
| 30 | Laveranues Coles | NYJ | 5 | Has potential for 75 catches 1000 yards and 6 TDs, but will he? |
