Percy Harvin in my opinion. He is an amazing wide receiver, and the Seahawks were very weak in the passing game last year, so I expect Harvin to get a ton of targets and have a huge impact. He also returns kicks.
Some might say Welker here, but I think Manning already has two pro-bowl wide receivers, so it's not like Welker will be able to put up outstanding numbers. He will do great with the Broncos, but he won't have as big an impact because Manning has other players he loves to throw to already.

I decided to go with Wes Welker over Percy Harvin because we are not sure how Percy will come back from the season-ending injury he had back in early December, and then he missed a few games in November, before he was actually played on the injured reserve. There is no guarantee that he will come back at 100% after battling an ankle injury for the last couple months of the regular season.
Wes Welker, on the other hand, seems to have huge upside. He has a pretty good history, and his productions numbers have been amazing these past couple seasons. He has really been at the top of his game, and even with the possibility of him being the #2 receiver in Denver, I still expect him to put up really good numbers before Peyton Manning retires. Even if he ends up being behind Demaryius Thomas (which I kind of doubt), I expect him to be in front of Eric Decker and Brandon Stokley. Also, in Denver, there is no Rob Gronkowski or Aaron Hernandez.

Welker is going to play the slot. So Thomas and Decker will stay on the outside. Welker won't put up the same numbers as he did in New England.

Probably not, but I still think he will do well. He might not get over 100 receptions, but he will still be good. I think his reception totals will be a little more realistic now.
