This is the fourth week he is projected to have a nice game. The one decent game he had was in a hurricane and that wasnt exactly what I was looking for out of a high pick. Now coming off a game where 8 sacks looked more like 20, the Squellers are playing another pressure D and the QB, RB are injured. What are some of the thoughts about this guy from here on out?

Drop him? :wacko:

 

Game 1... the offense didn't really even need him. They barely even needed to pass.

Game 2... he had an outstanding game given the conditions.

Game 3... :D

 

It's a sputtering start by the entire Steeler team. I don't think all this has anything to do with Holmes.

problem with Holmes is that he's not always going to be "needed" in the passing game especially when Ben only throws less than 20 times, he's not the possession/red zone primary guy (Hines still takes that IMO), so he's basically Bernard Berrian for fantasy purposes- some big games when they hit on a deep ball- otherwise it's 3-33

 

I hate inconsistent WR's on my fantasy teams-give me a Welker who will always produce something over the boom or bust guys anyday

Have patience. His first three games were not good games, but those were not his fault. First one he was not needed much as they ran the ball quite effectively after getting a good lead, his second game, no one would have put up good stats in that weather, and his last game, no one did good against a defense the Steelers as a team were not prepared for. His schedule the rest of the year is as tough as it gets. Pittsburgh will be throwing alot.

Have patience. You will regret dropping/trading him.

One of the biggest mistakes that I see fantasy players make is giving up on a solid player way too early. Yes, it has been three weeks, and that is enough to warrant anger if a perceived stud is not performing. However, it still is ONLY three weeks, so, it isn't time to give up on him yet.

 

It's a great time for the sharks to be choosing who is off to a slow start and trying to acquire those players.

Stud? Must be a homer

I'm really disappointed that he still clearly seems like (at least) the #2 option after Hines - and that guy is looking ageless. But Holmes will be riding my bench, no way would I cut him.

 

I agree now would be a good time to pursue him, but as far as buying low goes, I would rather go after a guy like Braylon Edwards or even Marques Colston if I could afford to wait.

Yea, I have a guy in one of my leagues that is "kind of" offering Holmes straight up for Moss. Don't know if I'd be the shark or the guppy in that one for sure. I'm tempted to push him on the details and make it happen though.

No stud but he's the perfect WR2... young, increasing production each year, capable of WR1 numbers on any given week.

 

Anyone who drafted Holmes thinking he was anything other than a nice WR2 with upside is delusional.

 

He's perfect to pair with a steady WR1... yeah capable of a few 3-33's but just as likely to get you 120 and 2 TDs (although even a steady WR1 has been elusive these first 3 weeks).

I drafted him as my 2 after Wayne. But after watching Eddie Royal get two TDs in 2 straight (while on the bench), I couldn't stand it anymore.

Well that's different. The entire WR position has been a crapshoot these first 3 weeks.

 

Top WRs have been putting up a few clunkers while some completely undrafted guys have produced.

 

In very few cases, if any, would it be advisable to pin your hopes on about half of the current top 25 WRs through week 3.

Well you can certainly tell which huddlers also frequent the FG boards. My biggest pet peeve is stating the 'shark move' or who is the 'guppy'. The shark move is not declaring the shark move and realizing anything is possible. Yeah I'm talking to you Attivo :D:wacko:

 

 

And Menudo wept.

 

:D

This probably could be a topic all on its own but...

 

For a year that was supposed to be the year to go WR early and often, the first 3 weeks haven't been too good.

 

In my main money league, I have Brandon Marshall, Greg Jennings, & Hines Ward, so, I can't complain :wacko:
