Player rankings below rank how NFL wide receivers will perform in most fantasy leagues over the next 5+ years.
1) Calvin Johnson
- MEGATRON!
2) Larry Fitzgerald :ARI: - One of the best in the game; if Kurt Warner was around he would be #1
3) A.J. Green
- Amazing rookie year has vaulted him to the top
4) Hakeem Nicks
- Don't be fooled by Cruz's numbers as Nicks is the top flight WR in the Big Apple
5) Julio Jones
- Plenty of talent on a Super Bowl caliber roster
6) Andre Johnson
- Now over 30 and injuries are a real concern after last year
7) Greg Jennings
- Jennings still has a few good years left
8) Roddy White
- Top targeted WR
9) Wes Welker
- Ridiculous in PPR leagues
10) Mike Wallace
- Contract hold-outs won't affect fantasy value
11) Dez Bryant
- Dez continues to have problems with injuries but has talent
12) Percy Harvin
- Injuries and QB-play in Minnesota are concerns, but his athleticism will keep him a top-15 WR

- 2011 may have been a bit more than what was expected with so much blown coverage by DBs covering Cruz

- Was a top 30 player last year
15) Jeremy Maclin
- Shows value far better than DeSean Jackson
