I wouldn't expect a high ranking for Pitt's receivers, even though they're the Superbowl champs, they're a running team first and foremost. If these are fantasy rankings they're probably being determined by past performance and likely performance this year. With the Giants, yes Tiki's been stellar the last 2 years, but with Manning coming around and another year older, the addition of Moss, I can see how the Giants run game might go a little lower than expected in a fantasy forcast. At the same time for receivers, you have Shockey, Burress, Toomer, Moss, and Tiki taking catches, and a mediocre finish at best from Manning last year (yes Manning should mature a lot but they might be doing a worse case expectations on the rankings) that's a lot of people to split the ball around to if you're looking to draft for your fantasy team. I'm not saying I agree with all the numbers, but I can understand why someone else might see it that way. It may be that they’re considering how balanced a teams offense is in those rankings.
