::RANKINGS UPDATED AS OF FEBRUARY 1, 2012::

It all comes down to this. The dust has cleared and the New York Giants and New England Patriots will play for the game’s ultimate prize. Football fans couldn’t ask for a better game with so many intriguing storylines. Will Tom Brady join Joe Montana and Terry Bradshaw by winning his fourth Super Bowl title? If Eli Manning wins his second Super Bowl title will he be widely recognized as the better Manning? Is Tom Coughlin automatically a Hall of Fame coach if he wins his second Super Bowl? Whatever happens, the contest has all the makings of an instant classic.
It’s no secret that both the New York Giants and New England Patriots have bad pass defenses. It’s entirely possible that a receiver on either team could end up being the seventh receiver in NFL history to win the Super Bowl MVP award. Deion Branch has a chance to be the only wide receiver in NFL history to have two MVP awards. Who has the best chance to win the award? Check out our Super Bowl wide receiver rankings below to find out.

Standard Scoring

Pass TD: 4 points |  All Other TDs: 6 points

It was an exciting Division Championship weekend and we are now down to the final four. There is no more Aaron Rodgers or Drew Brees, but Tom Brady and Eli Manning are still standing. The games haven’t been played yet and already several possible scenarios and questions come to mind. Will Tom Brady avenge his Super Bowl loss to the New York Giants? How many times will NBC show Jack and Jackie Harbaugh and how popular will the drinking game be? Can the San Francisco 49ers defense slow down the New England Patriots’ offense? Will the Network suits at NBC do a spit take once they realize the New York Giants and Baltimore Ravens are in the Super Bowl again? Whatever the results maybe, it should be another exciting weekend for football fans nonetheless.

Standard Scoring

Pass TD: 4 points |  All Other TDs: 6 points
25 Passing Yards: 1 point |  All Turnovers: -2 points
10 Rushing Yards: 1 point |  10 Receiving Yards: 1 point

Our rankings hopefully will help fantasy owners navigate those obstacles this week and give them their best shot to win a title. It’s been a wonderful regular season with still one week left to savor.

Our Fantasy Football Week 16 Wide Receiver Rankings will help provide clarity for fantasy owners who need points from an unstable position.

The first round of the fantasy playoffs for many has come and gone and there weren’t too many letdowns from the wide receiver position. The biggest wide receiver news of the week occurred when Greg Jennings sprained his knee against the Oakland Raiders. Jennings is expected to miss the next two to three weeks with the injury, which mean James Jones will be a hot waiver claim this week. What can be expected of James Jones this week and other receivers of his ilk? Read our Fantasy Football Week 15 Wide Receiver Rankings to find out, who should be in your lineup this week.

It’s Week 13, which means the fantasy playoffs are starting in many head to head leagues. At this point in the season, many fantasy owners are evaluating the weekly pickups they made or didn’t make. They are also examining their draft picks. Owners who were astute and punctual enough to pickup receivers like Victor Cruz and Antonio Brown may still be in the hunt for a championship.

However, those who drafted Mike Thomas and Chad Ochocinco are possibly in “wait until next year” mode. For those owners still in contention during this crucial week in fantasy football we strongly hope our Fantasy Football Week 14 Wide Receiver Rankings will help make some of your heart wrenching decisions easier.

Standard Scoring
