Who is the best receiver in the league? The top 2 are obviously Randy Moss and that guy from Texas, so who is after them? If I don't get lazy I'll try to do this for every position but no promises.

	I think it is Larry Fitzgerald. He's a tall receiver that goes up and gets the ball and is a good all around receiver, he especially shined when Anquan Boldin was injured last year and he was the primary target. 100 receptions for 1,409 yds and 10 TD. DD and Jennings are choices because im a huge pack fan.

	im gonna say the best 2 wrs in the nfl arent on your list....id have to go with Steve Smith....he had over 1000 yards last year while being double covered because his fellow wide recievers were Drew Carter kerry colbert and Dwayne Jarrett. he had vinny testevarde, Matt Moore, and David Carr throwing him the ball all year too...and Andre Johnson....as far as pure talent Randy Moss is the only wr in the history of football who can match up with him....6'3" 220 4.3ish 40 amazing hands and tough as nails...when he is healthy he is an absolute beast....he lead the leauge in ypg last year and also has a terrible offense around him...you give either of these guys a brady, manning, or palmer to throw to them and they would light it up....or put them on a team that throws as much as the Patriots, Packers, or Cowboys...or line him up next to another pro bowl caliber reciever ...or well you get the drift

	You left the best WR in the entire NFL out. Andre Johnson from Houston is better than Moss and Owens in my opinion. He has no QB, no O-line, a weak running game, no TE, and not many other receivers who would even make another NFL team. This guy is a FREAK. He blocks great, Moss and Owens hardly even try. He is huge and lightning fast with great hands. The best all around WR in the NFL, and still very young. Just because he plays for a horrible team he gets no love. If you put him on that Patriots or Cowboys team in the place of either Moss or cry baby, I think it improves their offense. Just my opinion, I know some people will jump all over me but I'm sure those same people have not seen more than 2 min. of him play. AJ is a F-ing stud.

	I think by "that guy from Texas" he meant Andre Johnson. I agree that Andre is extremely talented, one of the best in the league. It's just too bad the Texans haven't been able to build a great offense around him, they still got him though, Johnson is still young (and i think they have been making at least some progress). My choice from the list would be Marvin Harrison (based on entire career) and Steve Smith for current ability.

	Chad Johnson and Marvin Harrison Like him or not Look at Chad Johnsons Numbers ( hes put up over his 7 year career ) -- 559 receptions / 8,365 Yards / 49 tds / --- and only his rookie year he had a career low 1 td and didnt have a 1,000 yard receiving season..... 6 of those years he did As far as Marvin Harrison..probally the most underated WR in the NFL ....... he doesnt like to show off when he scores TD's or appear much in the media ( hyping himself up like a guy like T.O would do ) -- but has put up major numbers for Indianapolis. his career Numbers - 1,042 Rec. / 13,944 yds / 123 TD's -- he only had one year where he had under 800 rec yards and less than 10 TD's ( 2007 - which was his career low )
