Early Top 10 WR for 17'

Hi, today I am going to be making a list of my top 10 receivers going into the season. Which 10 receivers I think will be the best going into next year. Here it is:

10. Tyreek Hill, Chiefs:
Starting the list off with a bang, the most electric and fast player of 2016. He can do it all and I could see him making a climb on this list. Alex Smith is a great passer and I think the team will try to use Hill even more, especially in the passing game.

9. Dez Bryant, Cowboys:
About a year and a half ago, everyone would be surprised to see Bryant this far down the list. He has really plummeted as a top WR but I think Dak Prescott will use him a lot this year and he could be considered ELITE after this season.

8. DeAndre Hopkins, Texans:
After an amazing 2015, Hopkins slumped with bad QB play in 2016. Now that the team has a young star in Deshaun Watson, Hopkins could bond with the young QB and they might become a great young duo. We will have to see.

7. Terrelle Pryor, Redskins:
He is a top 2 funnest receivers to watch. The recently QB converted receiver phenom has become a big name throughout the league and the new no. 1 in Washington won't disappoint with a great QB!

6. Michael Thomas, Saints:
After a breakout 1000 yard rookie season, Thomas will become the no. 1 target in a Saints passing offense with Brandin Cooks gone. Thomas was a huge target last year and I think he has a chance at playing BETTER this year. Thats saying something.

5. Mike Evans, Buccaneers:
After an elite 2016, Evans will repeat and play even better. Jameis Winston is going to be relaxed this year with a lot of passing targets and so he won't be as rushed to get a rushed pass off to Evans. Evans will repeat as a great receiver.

4. A.J. Green, Bengals:
Green was playing better than anyone in the league last year before a big injury. Green will not get the ball AS much this year with speedster John Ross on the team but I think he will be again a top receiver in football.

3. Antonio Brown, Steelers:
People have AB always as they're no. 1, while I do think he is good, he will take a fall on my list. The best receiver of last year will have to split targets with all the young pass catchers on the team. Mart Bryant and Juju Smith. Brown will be a superstar, but not best in the league.

2. Julio Jones, Falcons:
Jones was a very exciting player last year making so many insane catches. He was the biggest reason Matt Ryan won MVP and he will repeat and become a top 3 receiver in the league again. I love watching Jones because he is a one on one coverage nightmare and I love seeing him dominate tiny corners that aren't expecting him to be as good as he is.

1. Odell Beckham, Giants:
My favorite player in football is always top 2 on my list. He is always good and he is so explosive and Eli Manning's favorite target that it is SO hard to bet against him. I could see AB or Julio out-doing him but he is an elite player in my mind and I see him getting to the top of the receiver battle.

Honorable Mentions: Amari Cooper Raiders, John Ross Bengals, Doug Baldwin Seahawks, Jordy Nelson Packers

  1. I don't understand how an NFL football guru doesn't have at least one receiver from the great and defending champion New England Patriots. Throw Tom Brady a bone.

    1. Maybe I'll give him some love in a top 10 QBs list. Maybe!
