Pros: Holmes finally broke out last year with 79 receptions for 1,248 yards and five scores. The talented wideout has 18 touchdown receptions over the last three years.

Cons: He's joining a run-first offense that features Braylon Edwards, Jerricho Cotchery, Dustin Keller, LaDainian Tomlinson and Shonn Greene - each of those players has more experience in this system. Add to that, Holmes will miss the first four games because of suspension, and he probably will be behind the eight ball when it comes to chemistry with quarterback Mark Sanchez and his role in this offense.

Fantasy tip: We aren't dogging Holmes' considerable physical talents - he could easily repeat his '09 stats given a better situation. However, his four-game suspension to open the season will set him back, and he is far from a lock to catch on quickly when he returns. He'll also miss another game with their Week 7 bye, so you get 11 games from him if he stays healthy since few leagues play into Week 17. He's valuable as a No. 4 or No. 5 wideout in all setups, but don't reach for him. He is being grossly overvalued with his current ninth-round ADP.
