Value = fantasy points per game, Win% = each game the player is active is counted as a fantasy win, loss or tie.
Data includes all active rushing, receiving, and passing plays.
Analysis: When Vermeil took over as head coach for the 2001 season he brought with him a system that had already catapulted Marshall Faulk to top fantasy running back. In short order, Holmes has taken over that mantle, and in the last two seasons has become a simply lethal red zone runner. At over 2.2 fantasy points accrued for every red zone active play for two consecutive years, Holmes stands apart as the fantasy football stud. Moreover, with a 90%+ success rate on a game by game basis, he's the prime head-to-head league player as well.

PSR = "Play Success Rate"...every play is graded as either a success or failure,
Big = the percentage of carries that went for 10+ yards.
Analysis: Holmes displayed his outstanding ability in Baltimore, posting 50%+ Play Success Rate numbers inside and outside, but the Ravens didn't believe he could flourish as a workhorse back...a big mistake. You have to give credit to Vermeil's system of course, but the big change over time has been the dramatic improvement in outside running, leading to last year's incredible 17 TD effort outside. Holmes is now truly an every-direction threat, which explains in part why no team can expect to shut him down completely.
