Torry Holt's value (1 Viewer)

[Max Power]

Sjax could miss a month and Bulger isnt 100%.

How does this alter Holt's value? More targets?

If Bulger does go down, does Holt's value drop like a rock?

Finally, what is the latest on his Knee? any problems since the season started?

I think everyone on St. Louis drops like a stone. Holt may hold his current points if he is lucky even if his targets go up which is likely.

I asked the same question in the Bulger thread. I'm thinking that Bulger may go out with one bad hit. If that's the case, then I would think Holt's value will decrease.

Banged up QB

Banged up RB

Patchwork OL

And add in the fact that Holt isn't 100% himself, I'm pretty worried about this guy. I'm thinking sell him now before his value goes any lower.

Holt will still finish as a top10 WR. I don't think you can ever safely bench him. The guy has had 8, 5, and 5 catches this year. He's scored in 2 out of 3 games. He's on pace for a 95/1100/11 season right now. Despite everything going on in St. Louis, Torry Holt remains constant.

The guy produced with Ryan freaking Fitzpatrick one year.

I cant say I am sold on a top 10 finish. The STL O hasnt looked this bad since the late 90's.

I know it is still early, but I just dont see a lot to hang my hat on at this point.

EDIT:

Thanks for posting those projections, ok so maybe a top 10 finish is reasonable.

When I heard about the most recent OL injury on Sunday I started contemplating dealing him. when I heard that bulger had cracked ribs Monday morning I started actively shopping him.

I love Torry, and I think if he personally remains healthy he'll do okay the rest of the way...but I didn't draft him for just "okay" and that team is falling apart around him. Rather deal him a week or two early than a week or two too late.

The problem is that it's only getting worse in STL. So far Holt has done decent, but due to the teams problems he could very likely start doing worse which would put him outside of the top 10 by years end.Also If Bulger misses time he's pretty much screwed.He's still a sure start every week as long as Bulger is throwing the ball, but i wouldn't want to count on him as my #1 receiver (which is what most expected out of him)

Only good news is that the Rams play DAL this week, so IF,IF Bulger can get the pass away, Holt can have a huge game

This is what I'm thinking today.Holt is a consistent player, but the rest of the team is showing a lot more inconsistency. I'm just not feeling too comfortable with the offense given the fact Bulger and SJax is hurting, and Pace is out for the season.

 

[avoiding injuries]

You don't think the people you're trying to deal him to are seeing the same thing in STL?

Holt has been the most consistent WR the past few years and I noticed him on the roster of a lot of league champions I play with. I had him on multiple teams over the past two years and did very well with him. I stayed away this year because of the uncertain knee rumors that were flying arond during draft time and feel fortunate for doing so.

Stud OL goes down, stud RB goes out, QB is hurt and we don't even know how Holt's knee is feeling because injury concerns are being concentrated on everyone else. Now there was another injury to the OL this past weekend? I have to say Holt is probably worth more to his owners at this point than what they can get in return for him.

I'm quietly shopping him now and hoping for a big game this week against Dallas so I can loudly shop him next week. I'm not going to give him away, but I don't think the trouble in St Louis will help his production. It's not a matter of thinking he's going to bust, but I'd rather take the value he has now and get a more stable player situation in return.

 

[KellysHeroes]

Been shopping him since the season started.... there is just so much hate for StL right now. The only good thing coming out of all this is that there will be more passing attempts and Targets for Mr Holt.

 

[gheemony]

I'm trying to deal him too, but can't find any takers. EVERYONE is worried about STL. Have to hope for a big game against DAL and peddle the "see, with SJAX out, Holt is THE offense, so buy now".

 

[Ron_Mexico]

I'm insane enough to consider starting Wes Welker over him this week.

No one in this thread is mentioning the fact that he's getting older, plays on turf, and has a consistently cranky knee. I love Torry, but I ain't touching him with a 10 foot pole. When I trade, I do it with weeks 14, 15 and 16 in mind and I just don't see him lasting with his knee.

This is a tough one, because you have to love that sched.. but it might not matter.

so after he has his big game your going to shop him?

Seriously... I keep hearing this Knee sh@t from this board... but it never seems to bother his performance and I never hear about it on any updates. Do you guys know something that no one else does.He seems like a nice Buy low guy in the leagues that I don't have him in.

The knee will be more of an issue AFTER he is done with football than it is now. He'll do like Sterling Sharpe used to do, take a shot before the game and a shot at halftime to manage the pain. That'll keep him on the lield enough to produce. The question becomes whether or not this offense will produce...

My concern with Holt and his knee will be in later in the season when the Rams are eliminated from playoff consideration. At that point I would be concerned that Holt would shut it down if his knee is giving him any problems. In the meantime, as long as Bulger is standing, I expect Holts numbers to jump up. They tried the short passing/running game this week and put up 3 points and admitted they erred in the game plan. With Jackson out they have no choice but pass and I think they will.
