Fantasy Impact: It appears likely that Holmes will play on Sunday after missing the team’s last five games.
Although Kerley did a bang up job filling in for Holmes in the first two or three games he missed, the team went out and signed David Nelson over that stretch.
Holmes is the closest thing the Jets have to a number one receiver on their roster and although rookie quarterback Geno Smith is certainly earning his stripes this year, Holmes is more of a complimentary fantasy receiver without a superstar throwing him the ball.
To add to that, Coach Rex Ryan runs a conservative offense and Holmes has been hurt somewhat regularly over the last two seasons, which also contributes to his lowered value That said, He’s is still worth adding to fantasy rosters in deeper leagues.
Kerley on the other hand is going to be out multiple weeks and will probably find himself behind Holmes and Nelson by the time he returns to the lineup for the Jets.
