You know the drill, looking for feedback on my keeper situation. Keeping six, standard flea-eligible league scoring/settings. Choices are:

Roethlisberger

Shonn Greene

Cedric Benson

Willis McGahee

Tony Gonzalez

Denarius Moore

Brandon Marshall

Dwayne Bowe

Jeremy Maclin

Michael Crabtree

Owen Daniels

Pretty messy group, lot of interchangeable risk/reward ratios. Bowe looks like a lock, and Marshall is close to it, although he is certainly a strong contender for 'The Biggest Ticking Time Bomb' in the League'. Crabtree finished strong, but I'm skeptical the additions of Manningham and Moss will help at all in an offense that throws so little, Maclin will continue to be the #1A receiver in Philly, Denarius flashed big potential, Greene (very) quietly racked up 1200 total yards and the Jets could be going back to a run-heavy philosophy, McGahee is 'the guy' for now in Denver, Roethlisberger topped 4K yards (even though he only threw for 3 or more TDs in a game twice all season), and the ageless Gonzo somehow finished as the No. 4 fantasy TE in his age 36 campaign. So, what do I do?

I would definitely keep Maclin or Moore over Holmes.

Why? Just about everything that could have gone wrong on Holmes last year short of injury did, his QB rated as the most ineffective 16-game starter in the league, and he still scored eight times. Guy is a jerk-off and his offense is iffy, but he can play, and since they're stuck with him because of his contract, they'll try to keep him happy.

And when Tebow is at QB?

Heh, Eric Decker still got in the endzone with fair regularity once Tebow took over, and Demaryius Thomas was the #1 receiver in fantasy to close out the season with Tebow throwing him the ball. I won't pretend that the looming possibility of Tebow doesn't give me some pause over potentially owning Santonio, but I believe his talent is enough to keep him fantasy relevant. Besides, if Tebow supplants Sanchez, there's a good chance Santonio will have been both vocal and instrumental in the change, which could result in him (gasp) actually playing hard for his new QB. I know, that's a lot of tea leaf reading, but I think ya gotta give a guy who could have elite talent the benefit of the doubt.
