- [h=4]Johnson is in the best spot[/h] Chad Johnson will have the best season of the three. He will be the primary target for whoever is playing quarterback for the Miami Dolphins, and offensive coordinator Mike Sherman is wise enough to design schemes that play to Johnson's strengths. Johnson might need to run more intermediate routes, but he's good in that role. He also doesn't have to face the gauntlet of strong cornerbacks awaiting Moss and Owens in the NFC West.

- [h=4]No one will thrive, but Johnson will top the others[/h] I don't see any of these receivers putting up big numbers this year, though I think Chad Johnson will have the best season of the three. Randy Moss will be fighting a few factors in San Francisco that will probably limit his output. First, I don't think the 49ers will get away from their run-first philosophy. The Niners also have tight end Vernon Davis and receiver Mario Manningham, two pass-catchers who are better than Moss and should see more targets than him. As for Terrell Owens, I am more concerned about his ability to stay healthy this year than I am about the other two receivers. He could end up having a good year, though, because fellow Seahawks receiver Sidney Rice has been prone to injury and whoever is quarterbacking in Seattle will need somebody to throw to. Johnson will have the best campaign, however, for a few reasons. I think the Dolphins will throw the ball the most frequently out of all three teams. I also believe Johnson has the best chance of the three to stay healthy. Based on what I've heard out of Dolphins training camp and what I saw last season, he can still get open and catch the ball.
