#6 Pierre Garcon - (#9 on ESPN Rankings)
This ranking is more of a dislike of the rest of the options, not a particularly big endorsement of Garcon. But I do think he is more talented than the numbers he has put up. Its just that a lot of defenses have focused their attention him. He is still receiving a lot of targets, the yards will come.

#8 Denarius Moore - (#16 on ESPN Rankings)
Last week Moore was absolutely shut down. This wasn't a big surprise after I did the research for my latest article. I really believe Moore has developed into an excellent receiver, and he and Pryor have great chemistry. Pryor struggled tremendously with the passing game (He had more rushing yards on his touchdown than passing yards for the game), against the Eagles this week? I love Moore.

#12 Josh Gordon - (#7 on ESPN Rankings)
Its not like I hate Gordon, but the Ravens have been very tough since their week 1 atrocity. They have only allowed 4 passing touchdowns in 6 games since. Odds are if the Browns get a touchdown, its from Gordon. Still, expectations should be lowered.

#13 Stevie Johnson - (#22 on ESPN Rankings)
Stevie was droppable for a span where he dealt with injuries and QB uncertainty. He has come back from those injuries and with some practice time, developed a good rapport with Thad Lewis. Note: Just received word as I was finishing this that Lewis missed practice again today. If he does not play, I would consider Stevie unstartable w/ Matt Flynn or Jeff Tuel.

#23 Steve Smith - (#11 on ESPN Rankings)
I don't really understand this ranking by the pros at all. Steve Smith, at age 34, is in decline. His most yards this season is 69. Basically, if he doesn't get a touchdown, he isn't a great fantasy option. Even against the Falcons, I'm not optimistic.

Quick Thoughts...I'm still really high on Terrance Williams. He is a true WR2 imo. I am expecting a slow start from Percy Harvin, but I also think that if Revis plays man, its against Golden Tate. Not starting either if I can help it. If James Jones doesn't play, Jarrett Boykin is a nice WR2 option. For now just a flex. It is entirely possible that Ted Ginn and/or Brandon LaFell outperform Steve Smith. I'm big on Ginn, so I'm going with him. I'm very low on Marques Colston, but I do like him a bit better than Kenny Stills...still. With Kellen Clemens, it looked like Chris Givens was the favorite target. Thats not saying much, but worth mentioning.
