Yea, as DD suggests, you got to go with Kennison and Bennett (in that order). They are their respective team's #1's. Randle El is, as best as we can tell, a #2 on Pittsburgh, a team whose passing game looked pathetic this preseason.

I haven't heard anything saying Randel El isn't the number 2, but for this inquiry its moot.

I would disagree, Steg. I think Bennett is the better play. Look at his stats last year, esp. the last half of the season. Now he's the undisputed #1 guy in Tennessee. The guy will have a big year. I do think Kennison will do well, but it'd be tough to stake him to more than 1000 yards and 8 tds, whereas Bennett, I believe, had that much in something like 9 games last season.

Dude, you know you can't extrapolate to a whole season like that. He did that as a #2, not receiving "full" attention from the defenses, i.e., he had Mason to pull pressure away from him. As cp intelligently points out, we are yet to see how Bennett will adapt to his new "go-to" role. On the other hand, Kennison's role on the Chiefs has basically been the same for over a full season now. So, what we have seen of him of late is truer, so to speak. All of that having been said, I too would rank and have ranked Bennett ahead of Kennison for this season, just not this week and just not yet.

Something else to consider......Bennett put up those numbers with Volek throwing to him not McNair. The preseason played out like that as well.....Bennett only caught a TD from Volek??????? McNair is the Starter!

Good point about extrapolating stats, Steg. I don't mean to say that Bennett will get 2000 yds and 16 tds, but rather that his output was and will be higher. Kennison has been, perenially, a mediocre play for a #1 receiver, mainly due to the importance of Tony Gonzalez and the "wide receiver by committee" practice of the KC offense. On the other hand, Bennett emerged last year as a very productive receiver, and I don't see his new role as diminishing that productivity in any significant way.
Tony_O, your point about catching tds only from Volek is well-taken, but think about it this way: McNair is healthier now than he has been in awhile (which, granted, is not saying much); in addition, wouldn't you rather have McNair throwing the ball than Volek? I would think that Bennett's productivity would only increase with McNair at qb.

Well, you are correct, but that was very precarious this week, soso. Randle El, whom I like, mind you (I have him in the GBRFL), only had two catches, one just happened to go a looooong way to the house, and Ward looms large all season long opposite him. Meanwhile, both Kennison and Bennett still had solid games and more catches, which are typically a good indicator over the long-haul, than Randle El. We'll see how this plays out...
