Top Receivers, Total Yards

The NFL has come to be regarded as something of a quarterback’s club. Conventional wisdom dictates that you can’t win — or win big, at least — without a Tom Brady, a Peyton Manning, or an up-and-comer like Peyton’s little brother, Eli.

Even the best of those passers, however, is only as good as the guy on the other end of the ball. That’s where game breakers such as Indianapolis’ Reggie Wayne, New England’s Randy Moss, Dallas’ Terrell Owens, and Cincinnati’s Chad Johnson get into the act.

What would Sunday afternoon be like without these preening, showboating, and — yes — extraordinarily talented men? Perish the thought.

1. Reggie Wayne, Indianapolis — 1,510

2. Randy Moss, New England — 1,493
