Yikes - downgrade Torry Holt if you're drafting this weekend
Sounds like Holt's knee could be a major source of frustration for his fantasy owners this season:
"It's just one of those deals where I'm not recovering as quick as I used to," Holt said. "It feels good some days and some days it doesn't feel so good."
"I'm getting somewhat used to that, and I'm getting to the point where I can manage it pretty well."
That's just about the last thing you wanted to hear if you used a high draft pick on Holt (which, if he's on your team, you did). He seems to be acknowledging that he'll no longer be as dominant, and that's... OK with him. Come on Torry, where's the fire? Where are the pushups in the driveway in front of a few dozen TV cameras? We better see you riding an exercise bike in a Lance Armstrong costume on the sidelines for the rest of the preseason.
We're bumping Holt down a few notches on our WR cheat sheet based on this news, and you should do the same.

Keep in mind that Torry Holt had knee issues last season and still was able to compile almost 1200 yards and 10 TD's. It sounds like the kind of injury that won't keep him from starting from week-to-week, but one that will force him to sit out a few extra plays a game. Drew Bennett should reap the rewards when Holt is not on the field.

True, but that was before he had surgery. I'm a little more worried now that he's gone under the knife and is still in pain heading into the season.

How does this fare on the value of Brandon's fav: Bulger?
#4. Matt, 8 months ago
Not too well considering that the #2 receiver is the Brucasaurus.
#5. Brandon, 8 months ago
I think it's a little too early to rule on Bulger. They do have McMichael now, who should prove to be a nice target at WR. If Bennett and McMichael develop a good chemistry with Bulger, and Steven Jackson continues catching loads of passes out of the backfield, Bulger will be just fine...especially if Holt plays regularly.

Yeah overall I like Bulger this season. I just like to bust on Oldy McOlderson.
