Anyone benching Torry Holt? (1 Viewer)

Not only am I starting Holt, but I'm starting him and Benson and the Bears defense! No reason that all of them can't do well. If I read this game correctly, the Bears will run the ball down the Rams' throat, get a big lead, and Jones and Benson will see HUGE running lanes all night. On the other side of the ball, Bulger will be in "throw it every down" mode from the 2nd quarter on. This will lead to plenty of sacks and turnovers by my Chicago defense, but Holt will also catch his share of balls. Everyone's happy. :)

Bottom line... if you sit Holt and it costs you a playoff game, you deserve to lose.
Biff ?
 
I have Smith, Holt and Boldin.I am going with Smith/Boldin this week.
What a WR corp. I must ask, are you playing against 5 yr olds? :)As for benching holt... I don't think it's a good idea... The game is monday night and in the dome. Not many people have better options than holt, including me.
Nope, just a good squad and I barely made the playoffs with Palmer/LT/Rudi and these wrs... :loco:
:shock: Ok first of all, how did you get this team? LT and Rudi are both 1st round picks, Holt and Smith are both 2nd round picks and Palmer and Boldin are probably both 3rd round picks? Did you have 6 picks in the first 3 rounds? 2nd, how the hell did you "barely" make the playoffs with that team? No offense but a monkey would be able to manage that team to a championship pretty easily.....
All sorts of variables can play into it...1) It can be a dynasty league, like my main league is, and he could have drafted/traded for each of them over the years2) A team may look great on paper, but you never know until they play. Last season I had McNabb, Portis, LT, Owens, C Johnson, R Moss, and Holt, and a pretty deep bench. This particular league is a dynasty league, so I traded/drafted each over the last 9 years that this league has been going. When all was said and done last year, due to injuries, conduct-unbecoming, etc. I was like 5-7 and facing elimination. I made some drastic trades and was able to eek my way into the playoffs at 7-7 (and got bounced in the second round).3) Along with #2, your opponents have their players too. Some bad luck could come into play where you just face the wrong team on the wrong week, and lose games, despite throwing tons of points up. One owner in a league I'm in, has the second most points scored, yet just lost again and will finish the season at 4-10. Who really knows?
Exactly.It's akeeper league I am in and built the team a few years ago by trading vets and 1st round picks..For example I got LT this past off-season for Portis/McGahee and a 1st round pick....
I was just messing with you. I kind of figured it had to be a keeper league and I agree with you that sometimes it's more difficult to manage a team full of studs than a team full of duds.
But you're right, my mom could run the team at the moment... :yes:

WHO DA MAN?!?!?!Now if I could just get people to stop asking if they should start Randy Moss...

 
This thread makes me think of steve smith ripping the bears a new one in the playoffs last year.
Unlike SSmith last year, Holt isn't playing like the #1 WR in football...
No, he's only playing like the #3 WR in football...at least in my league. :rolleyes: I was a little nervous when Boldin was up against the Bears D in week six and he went off for 12/136 TD.You just can't bench your studs unless you have so many that you are benching them for another stud.
 
holt is back on track just in time for the FF playoffs

he is the #3 WR in my league(no PPR, CJ 163 PTs, Wayne 158 PTs, Holt 155 PTs) and he only scored 25 FF points from week 8 to week 12
