Percy Harvin
Jeremy Maclin
Victor Cruz
Kenny Britt
Stevie Johnson
Demaryius Thomas
That is how I rank them, however if Britt ever grows up I think he can be the best of the bunch. I don't trust Cruz to replicate what he did last year.

Even with Manningham gone?
I hope you're right..because that would likely mean Hakeem Nicks is beasting, and I have him on my team

he's not even practicing right now....he might "be ready for week 1"
don't see him getting 100 catches.
So I guess Eli will not throw for 4,500+ yards and 30 tds...even though that's what he's been doing the past few?
I would gladly take Cruz over Nicks

Its tough to see because he had so many big plays on short receptions last year, but he also had plenty of targets. There is a lot of depth at the WR2 position this season.

Cruz- Manningham and Steve Smith are gone. By default he'll catch a lot of balls. Showed explosive playmaking ability last year.
Stevie Johnson- Main target in a pass happy offense. Will catch 70 balls easily. I think he approaches 90 this year actually.
Britt- assuming he is healthy, he'll make plays
Maclin- solid option who could break out.
D. Thomas- anything can happen with Manning there. I question whether Peyton will be able to get the ball downfield, but Thomas has good YAC capabilities
Harvin- always injured. One of the players i wont touch unless he drops. Plus he has a shitty QB situation and Peterson who is in limbo at this point.

Cruz top target of elite QB
Maclin redzone target leader on team, playmaking QB
Thomas is an unknown with Manning, but a primary
Percy because a runs and returns, but sub-par QB
Stevie Johnson...groin injured again and it's hindering him....on going injury issue..QB Meh
Britt will get suspended or blow a hammy..not worth it...unknown QB

Cruz is the best of that bunch.
But he isn't Eli's top target.. Nor is Eli an elite QB.
Nicks ran routes today and is on target to play week one.

2 superbowls 5,000 yards and 30 TDs

Just on the sidelines. Like with a holdout player...I don't expect he'll be in game shape by week 1.

You can call him an elite NFL QB because of the 2 SBs. He's not an elite fantasy QB, though. 1 30 TD season and 1 4900 yard season doesn't make him elite.

Good thing there are 16 games I guess.

I remember when the person with Brett Favre was almost guaranteed a shot at the fantasy championship, and Brett's numbers were similar to this (less yards, more TDs). My how the game has changed.

yep in 2005, Eli's first full year as the starter
Brady was League leader in Passing 4,110
Carson Palmer was TD leader at 32 Tds
Eli had 3,762 and 24 tds
Now he's bumped those numbers by 25%, but that still just puts him at the bottom of the 1st pack.
Life ain't fair Eli

Exactly.
Elite fantasy QBs are throwing for 5k and 40+ TDs or are getting yards on the ground.
Big Ben has rings... is he an elite fantasy QB? Nah.
Brady
Rodgers
Brees
the only 3 to do it consistently. Cam could be in that number if he repeats last year. Vick had the chance but proved inconsistent.

Like Vick going from 9 to 1, I don't see him running in another 15 TDs....at 6pts vs 4pts....without those Rushing TDs Vick and Cam are lower than Eli

Well without a dick your uncle would be your aunt.
Point is, they will be rushing threats regardless. It's just their nature. Cam also has 6 inches and 70 pounds on Vick, so he is built to withstand a beating. If his rushing numbers were cut in half he's still a top 5 option if his passing numbers stay on par with last season.
Vick has bounced in and out of the top 5 QBs throughout the years, mainly due to health. Even so, Im taking him over Eli.

I could see Cruz getting around the same amount of TD's as last year. As for the yardage, no.
Harvin has improved his catch and yardage totals in each of his first three seasons. I had him when he was a rookie but he missed some games with migraines. He played in all 16 games last year though and had a top 8 finish as a fanatsy WR. He is an explosive kick returner and the number one receiving option. Also gets some carries out of the backfield. Not a stretch to think he could finish really high again this year.
Maclin was off to a helluva start last year in the first half of the season but got dinged up and missed some games. Up until last year, he had only missed 1 game in 2 seasons though.
Thomas is a freak, all kinds of potential there. Don't really know what to think about Peyton yet though. How he'll hold up over the course of the season is the big question, I guess.
Stevie Johnson is kinda like Harvin. Both are far and away the main targets in the passing game for their offense. He should another solid season, maybe his best yet.
Britt will have a few phenomenal games and then get hurt. Dude has only played in 13 games in the last two seasons.
