Analysis: Holmes is also nursing a rib-cartilage injury and has been ruled out for the Jets' second preseason game against the New York Giants on Saturday. The expectation is that the wide receiver will be ready to go for the start of the regular season, but whether he gets any reps beforehand remains to be seen. As of now, Holmes is in definite Flex territory as a fantasy prospect. His quarterback situation certainly doesn't inspire much confidence, nor does a disappointing 2011 season marred by injuries.
