Agree with the rest.

Steve Smith is a very good receiver, but I don't think he's as good as Coles (in terms of toughness and class and he's speedy but not as speedy as Coles).
Horn's better, but he'll be 33 next season, cost the Saints over $5 million this season, and last season produced less than 1,000 yards. So, I'd take Coles.
Mason is good, but he's got durability issues, is 30 years old, in 8 seasons has produced only one 80+ reception season and three 1,000 yard seasons, and he carries a cap figure of almost $6 million.
Chambers and Booker are very solid starters, but I don't think I'd rather have either one of them over Coles.
Booker will be 29 next season, has produced only 2 seasons in his career of over 1,000 yards and only 2 seasons of 65+ receptions, averages just 11 ypc, and last season produced just 52 receptions for 715 yards.
Chambers has yet to produce a 1,000 yard season and has never caught more than 64 balls in a season. He's got potential, but that potential has not yet been realized.
Since becoming a full-time starter, Coles has produced 59 catches for 868 yards, 89 catches for 1,264 yards, 82 catches for 1,204 yards (while injured in an offense guided by Rob Johnson, Patrick Ramsey, and Tim Hasselbeck), and is on pace for 94 yards and 1,010 yards in an offense that has stunk this season and with a dislocated finger (against the Cowturds) and severe turf toe.
As for fumbles, his chances of fumbling on each catch is lower than any of the other WRs you said are better. His chances of losing a fumble are only 1 in 328.
*(1/328)=1 for every 328 receptions
Coles - 1 lost (1/328), 3 total (1/109)
Booker - 2 lost (1/178), 5 total (1/71)
Mason - 6 lost (1/72), 12 total (1/36)
Chambers - 1 lost (1/223), 4 total (1/55)
Horn - 3 lost (1/159), 7 total (1/68)
The guy plays with heart and fights for each and every yard; he NEVER gives up. I have so much respect for the guy.
