Wine- Why would you start Holmes over Ocho? I want to agree with you but Ocho has Brady throwing to him on Monday night? When is the last time Brady didnt look inhuman on mnf?
Because of Aaron Hernandez and Rob Gronkowski. I'll be quite surprised if Ocho gets a TD, or really more than maybe five targets. Gronkowski is 6'6" and is an ideal red zone target, and with Moeaki out, Hernandez is now one of the more athletic tight end options in the game. Brady is an absolute animal week in and week out, but with exception to Moss, has never had a truly elite fantasy WR to go with him. I think you'll see Ochocinco get a few targets, but not significantly.
Santonio Holmes is quickly becoming the only consistent receiving option Sanchez has, and will soon prove himself as a high quality fantasy WR. I saw some jaw dropping stats based on his targets and yards since his trade from Pittsburgh, let me go find them.

I am interested in those stats though... In both of my leagues I have Vick, Holmes, gore, and Joe Flacco. Since my second league was autodraft I was surprised I ended up similar teams.

okay... im being convinced. Although I really dont think it will matter this week as I have the better player at every position.
Frankly, I don't see a situation where you lose many games even if you do start Ochocinco, that is an insane roster. I'm on the prowl now for those stats.

He has welker and branch as pretty good targets to throw to as well

In my first league that I actually drafted live, I was about to draft Ocho and the guy before me took him. Next on my list to get was Welker, so I snagged him. Preseason I am thinking Welker is a safer bet, but was thinking Ocho had a higher risk/reward payout.
Holmes is a much better option. Have you seen him play when Rothlesburger was throwing to him? Dude is just insane and can make incredible catches. He missed couple weeks when he signed with the Jets, then when he returned he pretty much out played Edwards and Keller. Holmes is dominate man so put him over Ocho every time.
I just got wayyy into my Madden and spent over 2 hours in my draft making sure I got the best trades possible and getting everyone I wanted. Lol I managed to boost up to 17 picks. Couple Michigan players in here as well as Ohio State and Notre Dame players. They should really make it harder to trade picks in this game haha. And yeah I might have OD'd on WR's and CB's, but I wanted to change my team.
1. Jamell Flemming - CB 2. DeVier Posey - WR 2. Keith Tandy - CB 2. Vinny Curry - LE 3. Dayne Crist - QB 3. Marquis Maze- WR 4. Justin Blackmon - WR 4. Andrew McDonald - LT 4. Gary Gray - CB 4. Jordan Kovacs - SS 4. Miles Burris - ROLB 5. Garrick Williams - MLB 5. Mychal Kendricks - LOLB 6. Kevin Koger - TE 6. Adewale Ojomo - LE 6. Danny Baker - C 7. David Spurlock - RG
While the names are all real, the draft rankings weren't exactly spot on. Not only was Andrew Luck not taken in the first 3 picks, he wasn't even the first QB
