Wide Receiver Rank: #27 Overall: #80
Holmes had a very disappointing second season with the Jets. He did score eight touchdowns, which tied a career high, but had career lows in yards, yards per reception and had the second fewest receptions. He didn't have a single 100-yard game and had just 654 yards. The entire Jets' offense had their struggles passing the ball, though, which didn't help Holmes. In two seasons with the Jets, Holmes averages 52 receptions for 700 yards and seven touchdowns per season. His numbers aren't likely to go up with Tim Tebow getting work at quarterback and the Jets going with a more run-heavy approach this season. Holmes remains the No. 1 option in the passing game, though. Holmes is a great athlete with top speed. He is a top deep threat capable of making the remarkable catch. His route running and pass-catching is better than earlier in his career, but he will still suffer from the occasional big drop.

Holmes is proving to be nothing more than a No. 3 for fantasy teams, especially this season. The one thing that saves him some is his touchdown totals, which should continue to be respectable. You can expect seven to eight scores from him but he won't get you many reception or yards, finishing with around 50 catches for 700 yards. |
