Jets have 'progression' plan for WR Holmes

Oct 11, 2010

Tonight, for the first time this season, Santonio Holmes will take the field with the Jets. During the 26-year-old’s four-game suspension for violating the league’s substance-abuse policy, the Jets had been one of the league’s top five scoring offenses, averaging 26.5 points.

Incorporating the speedy playmaker will be a work in progress, with his role intended to expand and become more diverse over the next few weeks — starting tonight against the Vikings, who have a displaced receiver of their own in Randy Moss.

“We have a plan,” Jets offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer said. “We have a progression. There will be certain groups where he’s in there, groups where he’s not. But you’ll see him mixed in there with different people.”

Fantasy Impact:

Sounds like you may want to wait a week or two before plugging in Holmes. But these plans can often changed based on the Jets falling behind by a couple of TDs, for example. For now that, Holmes seems like he'll be getting up to speed.

Cowboys Beat: TE Jake Ferguson not expected to play Thursday

Nick Harris on X

1 hour ago

Long list here, but this is what I’ve gathered:

Guys I expect to play: Brandin Cooks, CeeDee Lamb, Tyler Smith, Cooper Rush

Guys I don’t expect to play: Jake Ferguson, Caelen Carson (possible IR), Zack Martin, Asim Richards

Gonna be close: Trevon Diggs, Eric Kendricks, Marshawn Kneeland

Related players: Luke Schoonmaker

Fantasy Impact:

Ferguson didn't practice Tuesday and remains in protocol, while Rush and Lamb both logged limited sessions. Cooks was also limited. Harris expects Rush, Lamb and Cooks to all play on Thanksgiving against the Giants. If Ferguson is out, Schoonmaker makes for a nice option as a replacement TE in fantasy lineups.

A high-ranking league official told me they have the impression QB Daniel Jones has zeroed on a "leading" choice. While another high-ranking league source told me their understanding is Jones "is telling teams tomorrow."

Fantasy Impact:

Jones seems headed for a backup job and the Ravens, Vikings and Bucs seem like teams that could be in the market. There is a report that says Jones has eliminated the Raiders from contention. As the report said, a decision could come Wednesday from Jones.

Saints say WR Chris Olave (concussion) in a good place

Darren Rizzi said that Chris Olave is in a good place.

Fantasy Impact:

The post went on to say Olave was at the Saints practice on Tuesday and that Olave has seen several specialists and has another appointment coming up soon. On IR, the earliest Olave could be back is Week 15, but there seems to be a ways to go before we get to that point. Other reports say Olave may not return this season.
