Andre Holmes close to staying with Oakland Raiders

Andre Holmes was the Oakland Raiders leading receiver in 2014, but in 2015 he had to adjust to returning to a depth role with the team. The additions of Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree pushing Holmes down the depth chart, but not out of the picture in Oakland as Holmes fought hard to keep himself relevant in the Raiders passing attack.

Despite a drastic decrease in targets, Holmes managed to match his touchdowns from the year before last season. Proving himself in his true role as a red zone specialist with four touchdowns, even if he went from 99 targets in 2014 to just 33 in 2015.
