Why You Should Target Andre Holmes This Year in Fantasy Football
Andre Holmes is an explosive vertical threat for the Oakland Raiders who isn't even being drafted in fantasy. Let's change that.

PlayerProfiler.com has Holmes in the 95th percentile for his array of athletic attributes, and has Nick Mensio of Rotoworld documented every snap of Holmes 2013 season, and indicated that Holmes received seven red zone targets last year, and was tackled at the one-yard line twice. Holmes was already a major red zone threat last season, and with a quarterback like Schaub who is ultra efficient inside the 20s, his touchdown numbers have the potential to spike.

Where Should He Be Drafted?

Andre Holmes has been tearing it up at Raiders practice, and has already grabbed Schaub's attention.

In a receiving group lacking explosive playmaking, Holmes has the chance to shine. Schaub was one of the most efficient quarterbacks in the league prior to last year, and if he can regain even some of his previous form, Holmes’ numbers will also increase.

With a little improvement in efficiency and consistent targets, Holmes has the potential to finish with nice fantasy numbers this year. He's not even being drafted in fake football leagues right now, yet his numbers indicate that he will have a legitimate case to be a WR3 in fantasy football. Take a chance on Holmes late in your draft this year, and he could return tremendous value.
