Anquan Boldin

With Boldin not at 100 % , would anyone consider starting Bryant Johnson, or even Leonard Pope TE instead? Both could benefit from a missing or less than 100% Boldin.

pope had done well the past couple games...vs a good match up you can consider him if you are looking at WW tight ends.

bryant johnson i wouldn't bother.

from the injury forum...

Even though he's no longer listed on the injury report, Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt told the Arizona Republic that Anquan Boldin's hip is bothering him. Boldin admitted recently that the hip injury he suffered earlier this season is expected to linger on through the rest of the season, and that's why some of his explosiveness is missing. "It really bothers him when he picks his leg up, and that's when you drive in and out of your routes," Whisenhunt said of Boldin's hip. "Until he gets back 100 percent, he's not going to be as good as maybe you would expect for him to be."

From CBS sports... Looks like he could be a bit gimpy for the rest of the year... Yikes.

in that link it says "until he gets back to 100% he wont be as good as you would expect him to be"


My question is does anyone here know if he is going to get worse as the season goes on, or will he get better as the weeks go on, where maybe by playoff time he is close to being healthy and can produce at a higher level then recently...i wish i could watch a game and see how he looks but i just have 2 go off reports, i have no choice but to keep him, but if he doesnt do something relevant in terms of yardage vs Cincy and SF these next two weeks he is going to have to sit the bench until further notice

I own Boldin and watched the Lions/Cards game. The missed passes to him seemed to all be batted down by defenders in mostly single coverage. Seemed to me that it was a combination of Warner not leading Boldin well enough, and Boldin not getting enough separation. I'm very interested in what happens this week vs. the Bengals. If Boldin can't get at least 70 yards against these guys, I fear all may be lost for him this season...

I think we can all take a collective sigh and welcome the old Boldin back...I know its only Cincy but its nice to see him dominating again...Heres 2 hoping his injury is behind him

well he won't be 100% again this season but he's still good enough to start and finish off his games. He will still get a lot of looks and throws in the pass happy offense and especially in the red zone. Arizona has a pretty easy schedule down the road so I wouldn't bench him unless you have some great studs on your roster
