The Facts:
Following up on a
previous item, Santonio Holmes had an MRI on Monday morning, however Jets coach Rex Ryan said the team didn't have the results because they were "shipped to different places." He confirmed that x-rays taken Sunday on Holmes' foot were negative. The doctors ruled out an Achilles tendon injury, however it's unclear whether Holmes has muscle or ligament damage. Speculation is that the team is staying mum on his condition while Holmes gets a second opinion. Ryan also said he expects Holmes to be sidelined indefinitely, regardless of the diagnosis.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The Jets appear to be imploding before our eyes, and we suggest fantasy owners expand their search for Holmes' replacement beyond his teammates. Players that immediately come to mind include: Brian Hartline (Dolphins), Andre Roberts (Cardinals), James Jones (Green Bay Packers), Randall Cobb (Packers), Andrew Hawkins (Bengals), Donnie Avery (Colts) and Jerome Simpson (Vikings). Digging deeper, take a look at Donald Jones (Bills), Alshon Jeffery (Bears), Leonard Hankerson (Redskins), Davone Bess (Dolphins), Kendall Wright (Titans), Titus Young (Lions) and Nate Burleson (Lions).
