LestersLegends’ Week 3 2001 fantasy football wide receiver rankings
1. Calvin Johnson @ Minnesota: The Vikes have limited the No. 1s (V-Jax, TB’s Mike Williams) so far, but Megatron will stop that trend.
2. Andre Johnson @ New Orleans: He’s topped 90 yards with a score in each of his two games.
3. Vincent Jackson vs. Kansas City: I feel bad for the Chiefs. Unfortunately the Chargers won’t show them any pity.
4. Larry Fitzgerald @ Seattle: Fitz and Kolb will continue to build a rapport.
5. Kenny Britt vs. Denver: Britt is averaging 135.5 yards and 1.5 touchdowns per game.
6. Roddy White @ Tampa Bay: Slow start to the year, but he’ll be up for the divisional game.
7. Stevie Johnson vs. New England: Has scored in both games this year. Bills should air it out to keep up with the Pats.
8. Wes Welker @ Buffalo: Came back to Earth last week, but should still be potent.
9. Dez Bryant vs. Washington: He’s not 100 percent, but should be huge with Miles Austin out.
10. Mike Wallace @ Indianapolis: Has topped 100 yards in both games this year.
11. Greg Jennings @ Chicago: Chicago will play better at home, but the Packers are dominating.

12. Brandon Marshall @ Cleveland: Marshall is quietly averaging 109 yards per game.
13. Steve Smith (CAR) vs. Jacksonville: Cam Newton is for real and Carolina’s version has reclaimed the Steve Smith title.
14. Reggie Wayne vs. Pittsburgh: Will miss Peyton in this one.
15. Jeremy Maclin vs. New York Giants: Averaged nearly 90 yards and a score against G-Men last year.
16. Mike Williams (TB) vs. Atlanta: Did nothing last week, but averaged 78.5 yards and a touchdown against Atlanta last year.
17. Dwayne Bowe @ San Diego: Without Jamaal Charles, the passing game is going to have to assume a larger role.
18. Santana Moss @ Dallas: Moss continues to be targeted heavily. He averaged 74.5 yards and a touchdown against the Boys last year.
19. DeSean Jackson vs. New York Giants: Probably misses Vick more than Maclin will.
20. Santonio Holmes @ Oakland: Jets are spreading the ball around, but he makes a solid WR 2 play.
21. Devery Henderson @ Houston: At least 100 yards and a score in both games so far.
22. Hakeem Nicks @ Philadelphia: Tough match-up, but he should be heavily involved with Manningham likely out with a concussion.
23. Anquan Boldin @ St. Louis: The offense struggled last week against Tennessee, but they’ll better than that.
24. Percy Harvin vs. Detroit: The Vikings have to get him on the field more.
25. Nate Burleson @ Minnesota: Averaging 76.5 yards. Will be motivated against former team.
26. Deion Branch @ Buffalo: Pats spread the ball around, but there is one less mouth to feed because of Aaron Hernandez’s injury.
27. Mike Sims-Walker vs. Baltimore: Got on the same page as Bradford with six catches for 92 yards on MNF.
28. A.J. Green vs. San Francisco: Developing into big-play option for the Bengals.
29. Brandon Lloyd @ Tennessee: Groin injury is a concern, but if he’s feeling better he’s a solid WR 3.
30. Jordy Nelson @ Chicago: Nelson will probably do his damage on more than one catch this week.
31. David Nelson vs. New England: 14 catches on the year—Bills figure to pass often.
32. Robert Meachem vs. Houston: Scored last week, but did little else.
33. Danario Alexander vs. Baltimore: 122 yards in season debut.
34. Plaxico Burress @ Oakland: Ignored last week. Should be more active this time.
35. Nate Washington vs. Denver: 13 catches for 166 yards on the year.
36. Jerome Simpson vs. San Francisco: Had a huge game last week (136 yards). Potential is there and Andy Dalton looks good.
37. Denarius Moore vs. New York Jets: Made some sick plays last week, but Jets are tougher test.
38. Chad Ochocinco @ Buffalo: I still think eventually he gets involved in the Pats’ offense.
39. Eric Decker @ Tennessee: Made his mark in both games so far.
40. Julio Jones @ Tampa Bay: Still has a long way to go, but his athleticism is off-the-charts.
