Anybody worried about Holts numbers with Martz gone?

I definitely don't see him as the #1 overall ranked WR that some places are claiming he will be.

 

[whhwalker]

No, still a top 4 WR.

The presence of a running game should only help Holt as every team in the league was strongly over playing the pass in past seasons... I don't see this hurting his numbers at all in fact I expect him to be able to get behind coverage more often and score a few long touchdowns with the presence of play action.....

I am of the very strong opinion that if healthy this will be his best year yet!!

I think the TDs will be there, but I can see a slight dropoff in receptions due to a more balanced offense. Of course, if the Rams DEF is porous, then it's still bombs away.

I almost wet myself when he made it to me at 2.12 in one of my drafts.

Martz will improve Detroit's passing game a ton just by sheer numbers. His offenses throw the ball (yes I know, duh). I see the Rams throwing much less than with Martz, but with just as much success when they DO throw it. Linehan knows what he's doing. Holt will still get his, though I have him at the bottom of my top tier because of the rib thing.

The injury was to his sternum, not his ribs, and it has turned out to be a only a bruise. Holt's a gamer, and he'll be fine. I'm not believing the whole lets run SJAX 25 times a game. Their defense will not allow that to happen. Holt will be strong this year. Especially in PPR leagues.

I was until I saw the effect Linehan has had on his receivers. Take Holt and run. It's not the downgrade people are making it out to be.

No. Recent post on this:

Last season:St. Louis was 4th in the league with 598 passing attempts. Holt had 163 targets.Miami was 10th in the league with 557 passing attempts. Chambers had 166 targets.Holt has averaged 158.5 targets over the past 4 seasons, and just look at the numbers he has produced. Heck, in 2004 he had 94/1372/10 on just 129 targets.The fact that Linehan got Chambers 166 targets last season in Miami shows that there is no reason to suspect a decline in Holt's numbers.

I have Holt as my top-ranked WR.
