It wasn't long ago that all three of these players were major parts of fantasy championships. In fact, we only have to look back to last season to see Holt being a Top 10 WR in many PPR leagues and Taylor being a strong flex option. Heap at one time was one of the few elite fantasy TEs in the game.
But now? They're done.
They're not only worthless from a fantasy perspective but they're worthless from an NFL perspective too.
Heap has been absolutely miserable this season. When your QB looks better catching the ball than you do, it's time to go. I realize the Ravens' passing game isn't exactly the Mike Martz-led Rams, but Heap isn't even doing that great of a job of blocking. He just looks finished.
Taylor did a good job the past few years of eluding Father Time. The timeshare with Maurice Jones-Drew appeared to give him an extra year or two of energy. But he looks old, worn out and pathetic running the ball. The Jags have had issues on the ground this season. That's definitely true. But Taylor doesn't appear to have any burst at all in most of his runs. He just plows into the pile and falls down. He reminds me of Eddie George in his final couple of seasons.
Holt has been discussed ad nauseum in this forum. He's finished as a bigtime WR and is a distant second in terms of the top WRs on his own team. When Dante Hall is outproducing you on more than one occasion during the season (which has now happened twice), the signs are pretty strong your best days are in the past.
Holt and Taylor are very likely future Hall of Famers. All three of these players have been great fantasy producers for many seasons of their careers. But it's not only sad seeing how pathetic they're doing in fantasy, it's sad to see how bad they've become as NFL players.
