Top 10 receiving tandems


Because from my reaction to my original post top 5 receivers I realized there were to many good tandems in the league that weren't included. Here is my new and improved top 10.

1. Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne Colts: These guys are the definition of consistent as they are both almost a lock to put up 1000 yards and multiple touchdowns. Now with rookie Anthony Gonzalez coming in it should give them even more time to shine.

2. Chad Johnson, T.J. Houshmandzadeh Bengals: "Ocho Cinco" is the one with all of the media attention but T.J. "who's your mama" is catching up to him as last season he had even more catches than Johnson did. They should help Carson Palmer for years to come.

3. Larry Fitzgerald, Anquan Boldin Cardinals: This might be the group with the most potential as Fitzgerald and Boldin are both under 27 and they are growing right along with their quarterback Matt Leinart. In a couple years they will be in the top 2.

4.Torry Holt,Isaac Bruce Rams: This pair is also very consistent as both of them can easily make the hall of fame. They should make Marc Bulger's job a lot easier this year also.

5. Roy Williams, Calvin Johnson Lions: I know some of you are thinking but Calvin Johnson hasn't even played a game yet. Even with that considered they have so much potential with Mike Martz running that offense they should be great for years.

6. Donte Stallworth, Randy Moss Patriots: This might be the fastest tandem of them all as they both should give Tom Brady serious deep threats he has never had. They could have career seasons the way Brady distributes the ball.

7. Steve Smith, anyone Panthers: Smith is one of the most explosive receivers in the game and can change the outcome of a game with a big play. Dwayne Jarrett could make an impact this year as a rookie but other then that nobody else is a possible starter for Carolina.

8. Terrell Owens, Terry Glenn Cowboys: This is one of the fastest tandems in the league as Glenn even in his thirties is still a burner while Owens is a touchdown machine. They should both have good years and the only reason they are this low is the possible age factor.

9. Marques Colston, Devery Henderson Saints: With Drew Brees passing them the ball both of these guys should be in for a big season. Henderson is an excellent deep threat while Colston is more physical they should be higher on the list as they get more experience.

10. Javon Walker,Brandon Marshall Broncos: Walker was a stud last year showing that he is recovered from his ACL injury in 2005. Marshall though showed his potential as he performed well at the end of last year and was one of Jay Cutler's favorite targets. This group has a lot of potential.
