Andre Holmes (WR, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper PPR & Standard Leagues / Monitor in All Leagues

Owned in 5% of Fleaflicker leagues

ANALYSIS: I stand corrected on Andre Holmes. Two weeks ago, I had him as a player to avoid, but I can now say that I am buying into him. Derek Carr is a legitimate pass-thrower, and Holmes will benefit from Carr’s gun-slinging ways. James Jones is still technically the WR1 on the depth chart, but we’ve seen the best we’ll see from him in his career. Holmes has a very high ceiling, and with the Raiders having almost no shot at the playoffs, I think they’d benefit from seeing what they have in Holmes. I wouldn’t consider him a weekly fantasy starter just yet, but if you need a bye fill-in or injury replacement, Holmes could be a very nice FLEX option to grab off the Week 7 waiver wire.
