Wide Receiver Rank: #21 Overall: #63
Holmes was suspended the first four games of last season, but still had a pretty good season. He had nearly 750-receiving yards and scored six touchdowns. Holmes averaged 62 yards per game, which would have given him 995-receiving yards if he had played a full season. Holmes had two 100-yard games last year and scored touchdowns in two of the three Jets' playoff games. He is the top receiver in the Jets' passing attack. The Jets have a run-first offense, but showed last season they aren't afraid to air it out if needed. Holmes has just one 1,000-yard season for his career, but has averaged 916-receiving yards per season for his career. Holmes is a great athlete with top speed. He is a top deep threat capable of making the remarkable catch. He continues to improve his route running and pass-catching ability, but will suffer from the occasional big drop.

Holmes isn't an elite option, but a top No. 2 for fantasy teams. He is capable of big things. His career-high in touchdowns is eight, which hurts his value, but expect a 1,000-yard season and 70 or so receptions. |

| The New York Jets are locked into WR Santonio Holmes for $15.25 million in guarantees. A $7.5 million guarantee (most of his 2013 salary) was triggered by his being on the roster after the second day of the waiver period, which was Tuesday, Feb. 7. Holmes already was guaranteed his 2012 salary, $7.75 million, the second year of the five-year, $45 million contract he signed last summer. |

That means the Jets owe the wide receiver $15.25 million of guaranteed money, a number that means he won't be going anywhere. |
