But, Steve Smith is EASILY a top 10 WR in the NFL. Also that 2005 season you mention, was one unlike any other player in the NFL right now has ever had, the Triple Crown.

While his injury probably ensures that he won't be ranked or chosen as highly this season he inexplicably always ends up being chosen well before he should. I believe he is the most overrated player in the NFL. For someone who used to be mentioned as close to an elite receiver and who was traded to Seattle for a first round picks his numbers are ridiculously pedestrian. He's never scored more than five touchdowns in his six years and he's never had a 1,000 yard season - he parlayed one good playoff run into a contract that he has never justified. Deion Branch - often an early to mid round draft pick in fantasy leagues - should be drafted: off the free agent heap when you are desperate during a bye week.
