Arizona Cardinals Community Projections: Anquan Boldin

I guess we'll stick to the Boldin-theme today and make him our second player in ROTB's community projections. If you missed out on giving your estimates for Larry Fitzgerald, it's not to late to put in your two cents. Boldin3_medium

As for the Q, he's been around long enough for us to know the bullet points of his resume. He's certainly been an outstanding player since his very first game in this league, and much like his counterpart, Larry Fitzgerald, injuries are just about the only thing that slows him down. He's missed twelve games over the past four seasons but when he's on the field he's a leader by example and a force to be reckoned with. He's been slowed during camp by a hamstring injury but he's at a prime age (27) to have a career year. Here's a look at his career numbers up until now:

Games Receptions Yards Yds/Rec TD
2007 12 71 853 12.0 9
2006 16 83 1,203 14.5 4
2005 14 102 1,402 13.7 7
2004 10 56 623 11.1 1
2003 16 101 1,377 13.6 8
Totals 68 413 5,458 13.2 29

Q may have some extracurricular activities going on this year but I still trust him to turn it on when he's on the field. His ultimate contributions don't always show up in a box score but he's still got some great stats and 2008 should be no different. He shouldn't have any problems bettering his career averages of 82 receptions for 1,091 yards and just over 7 touchdowns if he can stay healthy. As we did with Fitz, please put your projections in the subject line and any description or explanation in the body of the comment. Here's mine:

14 Games, 91 Rec, 1,165 yards (12.8 yards per), 7 TDs

I think Cardinals win one or two games this year in playoffs. Either a trade or staying with the Cards he’s going to be on a playoff caliber team. He’ll miss 4-5 regular season games this year and his numbers will fall off if he stays with the Cards (too many other threats).

12 Games, 58 Rec, 780 yards (13.4 yrds/catch), 8 TDs

I’m down on Anquan right now, go figure. This is the first year since he came into the league he isn’t on my fantasy football team. He will come up lame on multiple fronts, all of which will keep him out of games where he will be missed but he’ll perk up near the end of the year to make his playoff run and statement towards a new contract.

We all leave footprints in the sands of time, just watch out for the discarded fish hooks!
