Wide Receiver Rankings – Week 3 Playoffs

1. Larry Fitzgerald, Arizona Cardinals
In the 2009 NFL playoffs, Larry Fitzgerald is playing the best football of his career. He’s catching jump balls and running precise routes. Even though the Cardinals are the underdog this week and going against a stout Eagles defense, Fitzgerald is the best wide receiver option in the fantasy world.

2. Hines Ward, Pittsburgh Steelers
If you want a solid wide receiver who will thrive in the physical matchup between the Steelers and Ravens, look no further than Hines Ward. He’ll find a way to haul in some catches and make plays. When Ben Roethlisberger gets in trouble, Ward is the player he looks to pass it to.

3. Anquan Boldin, Arizona Cardinals
Sure, Anquan Boldin is injured. He missed last week’s game and though he’ll play this week in all likelihood, it’s easy to worry about his production. But he’s so talented and his potential every week is so high that he’s worth rolling the dice on.

4. Derrick Mason, Baltimore Ravens
If the Ravens are going to move the ball through the air at all, it’ll be due to Derrick Mason having a big game. He’s an underrated talent at the wide receiver position and he has enough experience in big games to trust that he’ll come through this weekend.

5. DeSean Jackson, Philadelphia Eagles
Although he’s a rookie, there’s no question that DeSean Jackson is both the Eagles’ most talented and most explosive wide receiving option. With a very good matchup against the Cardinals, Jackson could very well end the week as the talk of the NFL and make owners happy in playoff fantasy football.
