DoubleDown11 Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 He seems to be popping up in the milk carton thread on a weekly basis, so I thought his own post was warranted, given that most of us depend on him as our #2 WR at worst (and now may have to choose between he and Chris Ivory as a week 13 flex play)! 2, 5, 3, and 3 catches since the week 8 bye. His targets have been on a steady decline as well. In the bits and pieces of Ravens games that I've seen, Boldin hardly sees the field in the first half while doing the majority of his (minor) damage in the 2nd. As a Rice owner earlier in the year, I had trouble understanding Harbaugh's rotation with a far inferior back like McGahee and as a current Boldin owner, I can't fathom why guys like T.J. Housh are getting more looks than him. Any insight from Baltimore homers, Boldin owners, or anyone who could help a confused fella out would be greatly appreciated!

CaptainHook Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I'd love to hear a reason for his crappy performances the last few weeks as well. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lkirc Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 I am a Boldin owner and am frustrated with him as well. I am assuming he is drawing extra coverage and Flacco is throwing to the open man. He still gets looks in the red zone. I don't think you can bench him at this point. He will go off for a huge week soon. I like to think he is waiting for the fantasy playoffs to start..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now Rice seems to be back on track. Are defenses just taking away Boldin making Flacco throw shorter passes, or target Housh or Mason? Haven't watched many Raven games, so not sure.

SheikYerbuti Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 I agonized between Bowe and Boldin on draft day. Went with Boldin. . .felt like a supergenius the first 6 weeks. . .not so much since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRUISER Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 I finally sat him this week after being frustrated the last few weeks. Put in Crabtree. So far, so good... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUMbotron Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Defenses taking him out of the game with bracket coverage, he's not fast enough to find openings. Mason and Heap making plays accordingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bltkmt Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 I am benching him this week, so look for his production to spike dramatically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duchess Jack Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Flacco is going to be a really good QB in this league for a long time. Its seems to me that the better of a QB that you are - the more quickly you go through your reads and find an open guy. This will ultimately spead the balls around a bit. Perhaps we're just seeing him mature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menudo Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 I'm a glutton for punishment. I have Boldin in over Crabtree and Sims-Walker at this point for this week. I do have Collie & M. Williams (SEA), but, both are questionable. I just know that when I bench him, he will have a 2 TD performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
