Here’s the LestersLegends’ Week 17 2011 fantasy football wide receiver rankings.
.
The Best
1. Calvin Johnson @ Green Bay:  Has an outside chance of averaging 100 yards and a TD per game.
2. Roddy White vs. Tampa Bay:  Tampa’s secondary is so bad (24th in ypg allowed and tied for 30th in TDs allowed) that White should have a field day.
3. Victor Cruz vs. Dallas:  Eli is putting up monster numbers this year, and it’s Cruz (1358 yards, eight TDs) that is doing the most damage.
4. Stevie Johnson @ New England: Averaging 83.4 yards with two TDs in his past five games. The Pats can’t defend the pass.
5. Wes Welker vs. Buffalo:  115 yards away from a top ten single-season receiving yards season. Caught 16 passes for 217 yards and two TDs the last time they met.
6. Steve Smith @ New Orleans:  Smith was a disaster in Week 16 but has the fourth most receiving yards in the league. He caught three passes for 79 yards and a score in the first meeting.
7. Marques Colston vs. Carolina:  It’s pick your poison with all of New Orleans’ weapons. Colston has been one of the top poisons of late.
8. Larry Fitzgerald vs. Seattle:  Averaging 106.3 yards with two TDs in his past three games. Ranks fifth in the league in receiving yards.
9. Julio Jones vs. Tampa Bay:  The Bucs are terrible and Julio has it easy with Roddy, Gonzo, and Turner taking up so much attention.
10. Percy Harvin vs. Chicago:  Game on for Percy. He is so much more productive when Adrian Peterson is out.
11. Demaryius Thomas vs. Kansas City: Averaging 103.5 yards with three TDs in his past four games.
12. Miles Austin @ New York Giants: Has scored in three straight games since his return.
13. Hakeem Nicks vs. Dallas: Should have a much better time away from Revis Island.
14. Dez Bryant @ New York Giants: Has scored in three of his past four games and five of his past seven.
15. Brandon Marshall vs. New York Jets:  Tough match-up, but he had 109 yards the last time he faced the Jets. He’s also scored in three straight games.
16. Laurent Robinson @ New York Giants: Was invisible last week, but has been one of the top fantasy WRs since Week 4 with a nose for the end zone.
17. DeSean Jackson vs. Washington: He’s been solid in two of the past three games and I anticipate he finishes strong.
18. Malcom Floyd @ Oakland: Averaging 82.0 yards with three TDs in his past four games.
19. Jeremy Maclin vs. Washington: Scored last week and could be asked to do more with Shady banged up.
20. Darrius Heyward-Bey vs. San Diego: Averaging 101.0 yards in the past three games.
.

Here’s the LestersLegends’ Week 16 2011 fantasy football wide receiver rankings.
.
1. Calvin Johnson vs. San Diego: Megatron showed last week why he’s the number one fantasy receiver.
2. Roddy White @ New Orleans: Has five TDs in his past four games.
3. Wes Welker vs. Miami: Leads the NFL in receiving yards and is one away from double-digit TDs.
4. Marques Colston vs. Atlanta: Had eight catches for 113 yards in the first meeting with Atlanta.
5. Steve Smith vs. Tampa Bay: Tampa Bay has allowed 25 passing TDs.
6. Larry Fitzgerald @ Cincinnati: Bengals are suddenly struggling to stop the pass, allowing T.J. Yates and Kellen Clemens to have solid games. Skelton loves Fitz.
7. Brandon Marshall @ New England: The Pats continue to struggle against the pass. Marshall had seven catches for 139 yards in their first meeting.
8. Julio Jones @ New Orleans: Julio is heating up at the right time. I’m expecting a shootout.
9. Hakeem Nicks @ New York Jets: After getting picked apart by the Eagles, the defense could be fired up. Nicks is averaging 6.8 catches for 102.8 yards in his past four games though.
10. Santana Moss vs. Minnesota: Vikings can’t stop the pass. Period.
11. Percy Harvin @ Washington: Getting Percy more involved will have to be a priority this week.`
12. Dez Bryant vs. Philadelphia: Has scored in three straight games.
13. Victor Cruz @ New York Jets: Giants seem to do their best when their backs against the wall.
14. Miles Austin vs. Philadelphia: Scored in two straight games.
15. Mike Wallace vs. St. Louis: Without Big Ben he’s a little risky
16. Demaryius Thomas @ Buffalo: Averaging 102.7 yards in his past three games. He’s the guy Tebow looks to when he passes. The Bills have allowed 26 passing scores.
17. Jabar Gaffney vs. Minnesota: See Moss, Santana.
18. Vincent Jackson @ Detroit: His groin injury scares me a little.  Be sure to monitor his availability and have a backup plan.
19. A.J. Green vs. Arizona: His hurting (shoulder) but he should be able to play through it. Averaging 92.8 yards in his past four games.
20. Laurent Robinson vs. Philadelphia: Continues to produce despite the many alternatives at Romo’s disposal.
21. Jordy Nelson vs. Chicago: He should bounce back, but it could be an early day for some of Green Bay’s playmakers.
22. Dwayne Bowe vs. Oakland: Orton improves Bowe’s prospects dramatically.
23. Michael Crabtree @ Seattle: Continues to quietly put up solid numbers.
24. Santonio Holmes vs. New York Giants: He didn’t play a strong game, but he has scored in four straight. Plus, the Giants’ secondary is terrible.
25. Darrius Heyward Bey @ Kansas City: The streaky DHB has had three solid games in a row.
26. Jeremy Maclin @ Dallas: Eagles will need their outside weapons to keep pace with the Cowboys.
27. Nate Burleson vs. San Diego: Averaging 64.0 yards with two TDs in his past six games.
28. Nate Washington vs. Jacksonville: Scored in back-to-back games. Locker should get the start, which benefits Nate.
29. Mike Williams @ Carolina: Averaging 73.8 yards and 0.5 TDs in his past four games.
30. DeSean Jackson @ Dallas: See Maclin, Jeremy. He’s inconsistent but capable of going off.
31. Stevie Johnson vs. Denver: Groin injury makes him a risky play this week.
32. Malcom Floyd @ Detroit: Averaging 77.7 yards in his past three games.
33. Antonio Brown vs. St. Louis: Thriving on all the attention that Mike Wallace receives.
34. Mario Manningham @ New York Jets: Cruz and Nicks should draw the attention, which could lead to a solid game for Manningham.
35. Torrey Smith vs. Cleveland: He has scored in consecutive weeks, but he’s inconsistent and Cleveland is good against the pass.
36. Reggie Wayne vs. Houston: Reggie scored last week, but Houston will make it tough to repeat.
37. Brandon Lloyd @ Pittsburgh: Hard to play Lloyd against Pittsburgh with Kellen Clemens as his QB.
38. Pierre Garcon vs. Houston: Big play ability, but Houston is strong against the pass.
39. Lance Moore vs. Atlanta:  Hamstring makes him a risk, especially with the Saints playing on MNF.
40. Robert Meachem vs. Atlanta: Could see a larger role if Moore is limited or out.

Here’s the LestersLegends’ Week 15 2011 fantasy football wide receiver rankings.
.
1. Calvin Johnson @ Oakland: Raiders have allowed 23 passing TDs. Megatron has one in his past five games. He’s due to break out.
2. Hakeem Nicks vs. Washington: Nicks is healthy now and tearing secondaries apart.
3. Roddy White vs. Jacksonville: Has scored in three straight games.
4. Marques Colston @ Minnesota: Got back on the TD board last week. Should have no problem torching the Vikings.
5. Percy Harvin vs. New Orleans: Remains on fire. Vikings doing a great job getting him the ball.
6. Victor Cruz vs. Washington: Didn’t score last week, but continued his breakout season with seven catches for 83 yards.
7. Dez Bryant @ Tampa Bay: Four TDs in the past five games.
8. Wes Welker @ Denver: 26 catches in his past three games for 103.7 ypg average.
9. Jordy Nelson @ Kansas City: Number one option for Rodgers with Jennings out.
10. Vincent Jackson vs. Baltimore: If his trend continues, it’s time for a big game for V-Jax.
11. Larry Fitzgerald vs. Cleveland: Tough match-up, but Fitz is money, especially if Skelton gets the start.
12. Miles Austin @ Tampa Bay: Was able to score in his return. Good likelihood he can repeat against Tampa.
13. Antonio Brown @ San Francisco: He doesn’t score much, but is averaging 94.7 yards in his past seven games.
14. A.J. Green @ St. Louis: Continues to see a ton of targets and is a solid threat to score.
15. Mike Wallace @ San Francisco: Hasn’t topped 70 yards since Week 7, but the potential for a monster game is there.
16. Brandon Marshall @ Buffalo: Held to just one catch for five yards in the first meeting, he should do much better this time around.
17. Stevie Johnson vs. Miami: Averaging 81.0 yards the past three games with two TDs.
18. Dwayne Bowe vs. Green Bay: Packers struggle against the pass. Bowe should see plenty of looks as the Chiefs play from behind.
19. Laurnent Robinson @ Tampa Bay: He played hurt and he delivered. He’s a force and Romo looks to him even when everyone is healthy.
20. Steve Smith @ Houston: Tough match-up, but Newton will get him the ball.
21. Mike Williams vs. Dallas: Quiet last week, but has been a solid WR2 the past few weeks.
22. Santonio Holmes @ Philadelphia: Has scored in three straight games. Eagles have allowed 23 passing TDs.
23. Lance Moore @ Minnesota: Vikings slow #1s and allow all others to go off, which works in Moore’s favor.
24. Julio Jones vs. Jacksonville: He score score like a WR1, but consistency limits him.
25. Brandon Lloyd vs. Cincinnati: Low end WR2 thanks to his QB play.
26. Anquan Boldin @ San Diego: Low ceiling. Has only topped 75 yards three times and only has three scores on the year.
27. Santana Moss @ New York Giants: Played well against the Pats (of course). Caught six passes for 76 yards in the opener against the G-Men.
28. Nate Washington @ Indianapolis: Assuming Locker gets the start, Nate should see a ton of looks.
29. James Jones @ Kansas City: Could step up with Greg Jennings out.
30. Nate Burleson @ Oakland: Titus Young stepped up last week so it’s likely Nate’s turn.
31. Demaryius Thomas vs. New England: May not do much until the fourth quarter, but the Pats are dead last against the pass.
32. Jabar Gaffney @ New York Giants: Averaging 93.0 yards in his past three games.
33. Michael Crabtree vs. Pittsburgh: Averaging 83.3 yards in his past four games.
34. Darrius Heyward-Bey vs. Detroit: Raiders are the walking wounded so DHB becomes an option by default. He has been solid in six games this year so it’s not like he’s a fluke.
35. DeSean Jackson vs. New York Jets: Showed a little something last week. Was it a fluke or will he try to continue to repair his reputation?
36. Mario Manningham vs. Washington: Scored in his return. Giants have a ton of weapons though so he’s a bit risky.
37. Pierre Garcon vs. Tennessee: Yardage wasn’t pretty (46) but he caught five passes last week.
38. Jeremy Maclin vs. New York Jets: Returned to action last week, but his hamstring and match-up make him a risk.
39. Johnny Knox vs. Seattle: Quiet last week, but remains the Bears’ top option in the passing game.
40. Reggie Wayne vs. Tennessee: Has 14 catches in his past three games.

Here’s the LestersLegends’ Week 14 2011 fantasy football wide receiver rankings.
.
1.  Calvin Johnson vs. Minnesota:  The Saints held Megatron in check. The Vikes don’t have the manpower to follow suit.
2.  Greg Jennings vs. Oakland:  Has scored in five of the last six games.
3.  Vincent Jackson vs. Buffalo:  He’s alternated between good and bad games in his past five, but match-up should break that trend.
4.  Wes Welker @ Washington:  Leads the league in receiving by 161 yards.
5.  Victor Cruz @ Dallas:  Averaging 105.9 yards with seven TDs in his past ten games.
6.  Hakeem Nicks @ Dallas:  Averaging 71.3 yards with three TDs in his past four games. His one hand catch last week was a thing of beauty.
7.  Roddy White @ Carolina:  Averaging 106 yards with two TDs in his past three games.
8.  Percy Harvin @ Detroit:  Averaging 125.0 total yards with four TDs in his past three games.
9.  Dez Bryant vs. New York Giants:  Has scored in three of his past four games.
10.  Jordy Nelson vs. Oakland:  Averaging 18.3 ypc with nine TDs on the year.
11.  Steve Smith vs. Atlanta:  Quieter the past few weeks but should exploit Atlanta’s secondary.
12.  Larry Fitzgerald vs. San Francisco:  Despite revolving door at QB he ranks sixth among WRs in receiving yards.
13.  Laurent Robinson vs. New York Giants:  He didn’t score last week, and Miles could be coming back, but LoRo is averaging 65.5 with seven TDs in his past six games.
14.  Mike Williams @ Jacksonville:  Averaging 86.7 yards with two TDs in his past three games. Jags looked cooked on MNF.
15.  Marques Colston @ Tennessee:  Hasn’t scored since Week 7 so he’s due. Averaging 72.1 ypg.
16.  Stevie Johnson @ San Diego:  Streaky Stevie has scored in back-t0-back games.
17.  Brandon Marshall vs. Philadelphia:  Averaging 74.4 ypg with two TDs in his past five games. The Birds have allowed 22 passing scores.
18.  Mike Wallace vs. Cleveland:  Exploded last week with two scores, but the Browns lead the league in pass defense.
19.  Michael Crabtree @ Arizona:  Averaging 5.7 catches and 90.0 yards in the past three games.
20.  Anquan Boldin vs. Indianapolis:  Solid match-up, but note that he has just 143 yards and a score in his past four games.
21.  A.J. Green vs. Houston:  Having an outstanding rookie season (75.6 ypg, seven TDs), but Houston ranks third against the pass.
22.  Antonio Brown vs. Cleveland:  Numbers heading in the wrong direction, plus facing league’s top pass defense.
23.  Julio Jones @ Carolina:  Jones was back in the game plan against Houston. He’s a high risk/reward option.
24. Santana Moss vs. New England:  This Skins could be without Fred Davis against the league’s worst pass defense. Moss would see a lot of action.
25.  Santonio Holmes vs. Kansas City:  Has scored in back-to-back weeks.
26.  DeSean Jackson @ Miami:  He’s a knucklehead that tends to disappear, but every now and again he’ll explode.
27.  Johnny Knox @ Denver:  Don’t like his QB situation, but he’s averaging 98.3 yards with two TDs in his past three games.
28.  Dwayne Bowe @ New York Jets:  Bad time to end up on Revis Island.
29.  Deion Branch @ Washington:  Seems to alternate good and bad games. Good game is up.
30.  Brandon Lloyd @ Seattle:  Held to one catch last week and has catch passes from a ton of QBs this year, but if the Rams start Tom Brandstater, it could be too much to ask of Lloyd.
31.  Pierre Garcon @ Baltimore:  Garcon exploded against New England. He’s streaky, but Orlovsky was dialed in.
32.  Jabar Gaffney vs. New England:  Gaffney should see a lot of action as well against his former team.
33.  Nate Burleson vs. Minnesota:  Should see plenty of single-coverage against a horrible Vikings’ secondary.
34.  Demaryius Thomas vs. Chicago:  The Bears are much better than MN, but they can get beat deep.
35.  Reggie Wayne @ Baltimore:  Colts looked better, but they were playing the Pats. Wayne still isn’t getting the looks you’d expect.
36.  Damian Williams vs. New Orleans:  Averaging 52.0 yards and 0.5 TDs in his past six games.
37.  Lance Moore @ Tennessee:  Five TDs in the past five games.
38.  Brad Smith @ San Diego:  Averaging 74.5 yards in his past two games.
39.  Riley Cooper @ Miami:  If Maclin can’t go again Cooper should be active. Averaging 80.0 yards in the past three games.
40.  Torrey Smith vs. Indianapolis:  He’s been quiet for a couple of weeks, but is capable of exploding against the winless Colts.

Here’s the LestersLegends’ Week 13 2011 fantasy football wide receiver rankings.
.
1. Calvin Johnson @ New Orleans: Megatron got back in the end zone last week giving him 12 TDs on the year.
2. Greg Jennings @ New York Giants: Extra time should help his sore knee, which wasn’t really a problem on Thanksgiving anyway.
3. Wes Welker vs. Indianapolis: Scored twice last week and should really add to his yardage lead against the downtrodden Colts.
4. Victor Cruz vs. Green Bay: The Packers struggle against the Pack and Cruz has become as dangerous a receiver as there is in the league.
5. Roddy White @ Houston: Has 17 catches for 267 yards in his past two games.
6. Laurent Robinson @ Arizona: Am I on the LoRo train? You bet I am. He has seven TDs in his past five games.
7. Steve Smith @ Tampa Bay: He’s been relatively quiet the past few weeks. I expect him to explode against the Bucs’ secondary.
8. Hakeem Nicks vs. Green Bay: Nicks has been pretty steady this year when healthy. G-Men are going to have to pass often.
9. Jordy Nelson @ New York Giants: Quiet last week but had five TDs in his prior three games.
10. Vincent Jackson @ Jacksonville: Consistency is an issue but big play potential is there.
11. Brandon Lloyd @ San Francisco: Has scored in three straight games. Niners are vulnerable to the pass.
12. Larry Fitzgerald vs. Dallas: Tends to produce no matter who is under center. Could be Kolb this week.
13. Percy Harvin vs. Denver: Vikings are doing a great job getting him the ball.
14. Brandon Marshall vs. Oakland: Had a dud in Week 11, but has had 98 or more yards in the other three of his last four games.
15. Marques Colston vs. Detroit: Saints’ offense is rolling.
16. Dez Bryant @ Arizona: Has scored in two of his past three games.
17. Andre Johnson vs. Atlanta: He’s back, but unfortunately he has T.J. Yates throwing him the ball.
18. Antonio Brown vs. Cincinnati: Averaging 89.0 yards in his past five games.
19. A.J. Green @ Pittsburgh: Scored against the Steelers in Week 10. He’s been a force in his rookie year.
20. Mike Wallace vs. Cincinnati: Has been quiet of late, but is always a threat.
21. Mike Williams vs. Carolina: Averaging 83.5 yards and a score the past two games.
22. Anquan Boldin @ Cleveland: Like everyone in the Ravens’ passing game, he’s inconsistent.
23. Stevie Johnson vs. Tennessee: Bounced back last week, but I’m not convinced the Bills’ offense is completely back on track.
24. Dwayne Bowe @ Chicago: Would move up if Kyle Orton gets the start.
25. Jason Avant @ Seattle: Maclin is banged up and DeSean is either acting like a fool or dropping passes.
26. Eric Decker @ Minnesota: Has scored in four of his past five games. Should do well against the lowly Vikes in his return to the Dome.
27. Deion Branch vs. Indianapolis: Had a monster game last week and is a solid option against the Colts.
28. Plaxico Burress @ Washington: Has five TDs in his past five games.
29. Lance Moore vs. Detroit: Moore is showing that nose for the end zone again.
30. Torrey Smith @ Cleveland: He’s hot and cold, but is capable of a breakout game.
31. Julio Jones @ Houston: He certainly didn’t wear himself out last week.
32. Johnny Knox vs. Kansas City: Averaging 121 yards in the past two games.
33. David Nelson vs. Tennessee: Has scored in three of the past four games.
34. Michael Crabtree vs. St. Louis: Has 13 catches in his past two games.
35. Damian Williams @ Buffalo: Has scored in three of the past four games.
36. Santonio Holmes @ Washington: Made a clutch catch, but only has 61 yards in his last two games.
37. DeSean Jackson @ Seattle: Andy Reid says he’s going to start, but that’s a risky prospect for your fantasy team at this point.
38. Jabar Gaffney vs. New York Jets: Has to be thankful that Santana Moss is back to deal with Revis Island.
39. Riley Cooper @ Seattle: Decent option if Jeremy Maclin is out again.
40. Greg Little vs. Baltimore: Averaging 66.7 yards with one TD in his past three games.
