There are so many solid receivers that you could argue for the next 5 or 6 spots

D thomas
A Jeffery
L Fitz
D Jackson
M Colston
J Nelson
V Cruz
V Jackson
A Brown
R Wayne

There is a ton of talent out there

# 22 natejelinek @ 07/24/14 05:39 PM

forgot
J Jones and Roddy White

He's a receiver who had more catches and yards than any Falcon last year.

OhMrHankey- You gotta give the best 2 WR TE group to the Bears
Alshon Jeffery, Brandon Marshall, Martellus Bennett...best in the league. then theres forte!

# 25 ERA @ 07/24/14 05:47 PM

I know he has issues off of the field, but how in the world is Josh Gordon not in the top 5? He was arguably the best WR in the league last year...

I think Delanie Walker could crack top ten. One of the best all around TE in the league. He blocks well, catches well, has good speed. He can line up at TE, wr, fb. He should be up there.

Go verify here http://m.bleacherreport.com/articles...-no-1-receiver how many snaps he took at the slot position.

I'm hopping your joking about Jeffrey. If you haven't heard of him then I'm not sure how educated your opinion could be.

how does that make him not top 5? dude lead the league in yards etc....not count he missed 2 games....hopefully he's still a 93 wr that's if he's in the game even though I've seen pic's of him getting his screen head shots for 15.

and he's not suspended yet he'll find out aug 1st if he is or not.

He's definitely top five in my book and I'm sure he's top five in the game but they refuse to acknowledge any player that is suspended. And he might not be suspended yet but he's going to be. The fact that he's facing a year long suspension might me he's not even in the game at first.

It's funny to see the arguments for certain players and then see their avatar picture. LOL. I would say Gordon is not in the top 5 because he did it one year. The rest have produced just as much but, for more years. That's my logic but, EA is pretty inconstant with their logic. If he was on Seattle he would be a 99. lol

Bye the way every former Razorback should be top 5 in every category.

Maybe lost a small amount of pace but still constantly gets it done. I know people will expect me to say that since I am a Saints fan but he is at least top 10, without doubt.

You are hottin your own horn and recently Colston has not shown much to hoot about outside of his performance vs zine coverage from the inside slot position.

The big knock on him is his lack of abiity to separate vs man coverage and his tendency to play small.

This B/R writer has an informative article posted on him http://m.bleacherreport.com/articles...-no-1-receiver

I am a Colston fan myself and use him in MUT but he is not top ten talent let alone the #1 target on his team - Jimmy holds that spot.

I think my team's (falcons) injury problems last year made me lose my appetite for football early, so I legitimately did not know who Jeffrey was. I don't recall seeing too many bears games last year (and, I can't stand that whiny faced cutler), but the name is starting to ring a bell. I'm sure he's good, I just legit didn't watch a lot of football last year cause of falcons' woes. Julio is definitely top 5, but due to injury last year, I can understand him not getting any love this year, but before he got injured, dude was lighting it up. Big, strong, fast, solid hands. He's a beast.

Due to injuries, u could say that about half the WRs in the NFL, so that still doesn't say much about his skill. Lol.

Overall top fives don't look to bad, the only head scratcher to me is Andre Johnson being rated higher than Dez. In his prime I would take Johnson but taking into account their age and putting Bryant's attitude aside, I would probably give him an edge on Johnson going into this season.

as will the boys offense? witten is a year older, demarco is good, dez is a little better than good, offensive line should play better and romo closes it out in the clutch with a nice int.....
