Bruno Boys Fantasy Football

Normal fantasy football leagues have come to an end and what a great season it was. We hope that you did well in your league, or leagues, but if you’re still looking for some fantasy football action while the playoffs go on, and you’re looking for some help then look no further because the Bruno Boys will be here throughout the postseason. As such we’ll be releasing our normal weekly position rankings to help you best decide which players to go with in our Fantasy Football Playoff Challenge. To see where this round’s wide receivers rank continue reading the Super Bowl Round edition of the Bruno Boys Weekly Wide Receiver Rankings.

1. Reggie Wayne (Indianapolis Colts)

Wayne remains the best receiver that will step on the field for the Super Bowl, regardless of his somewhat meek totals from Week 11 on. In the Colts’ nine games since then – including the playoffs – Wayne has just one game with 100 receiving yards, but he’s also scored three touchdowns and has four contests where he’s caught at least five passes.
Point Projection: 16 points

2. Marques Colston (New Orleans Saints)

Colston is the Saints’ No.1 wideout, and he shares the team lead in catches for the postseason with eight. He’s also second on the squad with 105 receiving yards and one score. He faces a Indianapolis Colts team that is by no means killers against the pass. They were 14th in the regular season in pass defense, but they may be less effective in this game due to the fact that Dwight Freeney will almost certainly be limited with his ankle malady.
Point Projection: 15 points

3. Pierre Garcon (Indianapolis Colts)

Garcon has been the Colts’ leading receiver in the playoffs with a team-high 16 catches and 185 receiving yards with one touchdown. In the seven games he’s played in since Week 11 (he missed two with injury), Garcon has three 100-yard games and five contests with five or more receptions. He and the Colts face a less-than-daunting New Orleans Saints pass defense, which was only 26th in the league during the regular season.
Point Projection: 11 points

4. Austin Collie (Indianapolis Colts)

Collie actually leads the Colts in touchdown receptions in the playoffs with two, and he’s also second on the team in receiving yards, with 175, and is tied for second with 11 receptions. The rookie is capping off a very productive season having scored a touchdown in five of his last seven games. Look for Peyton Manning to find him over the middle in the red zone at some point on Sunday.
Point Projection: 11 points

5. Devery Henderson (New Orleans Saints)

Henderson is tied with the aforementioned Colston for the team lead in receptions in the playoffs with eight, but he leads the Saints in receiving yards with 119, and touchdown receptions, with two. Yet he’s prone to disappear from time to time, and isn’t someone you really will want to rely on.
Point Projection: 8 points

6. Robert Meachem (New Orleans Saints)

To put it mildly, Meachem has done nothing in the playoffs thus far; he has a total of two receptions for 19 yards. He’s capable of blowing up and finding the end zone, as any fantasy football aficionado can tell you, but even during the regular season he wasn’t catching boatloads of passes, and was fifth on the Saints in receptions.
Point Projection: 3 points
