Frankly, I expected the Steelers to have trouble moving the ball against the Titans, but I also thought the Titans could keep the Steelers on the ground. It seems Holmes might have at last replaced Hines Ward this season as Big Ben's clutch target, but we'll have to see if the Steelers passing game stays potent in Week 2.

The problem is that you were probably going to have to start Chris Johnson no matter what since you got him in the first two rounds. People picked up Holmes later and thus had other options they could've considered. You did hit the Chris Johnson prediction, but missed on Santonio Holmes.
