With the start of the 2014 NFL season less than two months away, fans want to know which players are going to be leading the league this season. I am here to tell you which quarterback to wide receiver/tight end tandems will be in the top ten in 2014.

#10. Comeback Candidates: Andrew Luck to Reggie Wayne

Andrew Luck: His numbers fell during the 2013, maybe due to the lack of his number one target Reggie Wayne. We should see an increase in productivity with Wayne back in the lineup, and even better numbers from Luck.

Reggie Wayne: In 2013 only had 503 yards receiving due to a torn ACL in week 7. Over the course of his career, Wayne has averaged 1,043 yards a year with 6 touchdowns. It is hard to beat those numbers.

#9. Act two: Ben Roethlisberger to Antonio Brown

Ben Roethlisberger: Big Ben threw the ball more than ever last season, and Antonio Brown was the lucky receiver who caught 29% of them. Look for Big Ben to continue to air it out in Brown’s direction.

Antonio Brown: In 2013, Brown improved immensely during his fourth season with the Steelers. He became the number target for Big Ben, finished with a career high in almost every category and finished only behind Josh Gordon in total yards with 1,499. I expect big things from Brown this year.

#8. The return: Tom Brady to Rob Gronkowski

Tom Brady: With no real receiving threats last year, Brady still finished the year with a 12-4 record, a trip to the AFC Championship game and another successful year of training the next level of future Patriots. With Gronkowski back, look for him to be the main red zone target for Brady.

Rob Gronkowski: This guy just could not get healthy in 2013, maybe because of his partying habits, but that is something else entirely. Over his first three seasons with the Pats, Gronk averaged 12 touchdowns a year. Brady’s numbers went down in 2013, but expect that to go right back up now that his favorite target is back on the field.

#7. New kid on the block: Robert Griffin III to DeSean Jackson

Robert Griffin III: After being benched for the last three games of last season and a rushed recovery from injury, RGIII is in a prime position to be successful this season. With the newly acquired DeSean Jackson as his top target, look for RGIII to have his best season yet.

DeSean Jackson: With the ugly departure still looming in his mind, I expect Jackson to have a big year. After a top-10 receiving yards performance in 2013, Jackson will look to use his speed to be a big threat as RGIII’s go to guy.

#6. Last Chance: Tony Romo to Dez Bryant

Tony Romo: He is coming off a 2013 that ended a week early with back surgery. Romo looks take advantage of what may be his last shot as the Cowboys starter. Romo will have to stop the on-again off-again relationship with Dez Bryant and use the Cowboys biggest threat more effectively. I think 2014 will be a big year for Romo and Bryant, and that is not just a Texas joke.

Dez Bryant: Though his receiving yards total went down, Bryant finished the season tied for third in touchdowns with 13. He has the ability to be the elite player that could be a part of the next great quarterback and receiver tandems, he just needs to quit complaining first. I expect Bryant to shape up and have a big year.

#5. Redemption: Matt Ryan to Julio Jones

Matt Ryan: He became a throwing machine at the end of last season due to the inability of his team to win games. Ryan will probably continue to throw the ball, and with his number one deep threat back, Ryan and the Falcons will improve tremendously this year.

Julio Jones: He played only five games in 2013, and looks to return better than ever. Look for Ryan and Jones to be making a case for themselves to be the number one duo by the end of the year.

#4. Is he really a tight end? Drew Brees to Jimmy Graham

Drew Brees: After finding out he is no longer tied for shortest quarterback to win the Super Bowl, Brees enters the 2014 season with his favorite target, Jimmy Graham, ready to prove that he is more than just a tight end. Look for the Saints to be contenders in the NFC this year.

Jimmy Graham: The now accurately defined as a tight end Jimmy Graham looks to start where he left of last season. Graham, who led the league in receiving touchdowns with 16, looks to once again take a 17.

#3. Big money duo: Jay Cutler to Alshon Jeffery

Jay Cutler: After recently signing a 7-year contract worth $126,700,000 with the Bears, Cutler has a lot to live up to this year. Cutler has not played a full season since 2009. He has two of the best receivers in the game, Alshon Jeffery and Brandon Marshall and his side. Look for Cutler to compete at a “highest paid quarterback in the league” level this year.

Alshon Jeffery: He came out of no where last season and blew our minds with Sports Center Top-10 catches week after week. I see Jeffery getting even better this year, and with Brandon Marshall getting most of the coverage, look for Jeffery to get more looks and more highlight reel plays.

#2. Ready to pounce: Andy Dalton to A.J. Green

Andy Dalton: His number improved dramatically last season, and with a weapon like A.J. Green, there is no reason to believe that he will not continue to improve. Dalton is not even close to being considered the best quarterback in the league, but if he can avoid all the little mistakes that he likes to make, people may start to talk about he and the Bengals being an elite team in the AFC.

A.J. Green: He has been nothing but consistent over his three years in Cincy, and Green is ready to take that next step to becoming the best receiver in the league. I expect to see him at the top of the board at the end of the year in receiving yards and touchdowns.

#1. Megatron: Matthew Stafford to Calvin Johnson

Matthew Stafford: I don’t think that he is the best quarterback in the league, but with an offensive machine on your side like Calvin Johnson, it is hard to not look good. I hope to see Stafford step up his game this year, and I expect to see he and Megatron in the playoffs this year.

Calvin Johnson: Over his career, he has averaged 81 catches, 1,332 yards and 9 touchdowns. Calvin Johnson is the best offensive threat in the NFL, and as long as he is playing, he will be one of the top 5 receivers in the game.
