The Oakland Raiders' season couldn't have gotten off to a worse start, and they parted ways with head coach Dennis Allen after just four games. Interim coach Tony Sparano is now in charge as the Raiders come out of their Week 5 bye and face the San Diego Chargers.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 6: Andre Holmes
The wideout has been one of the few bright spots on the Raiders’ offense this season.

Despite the Raiders' offensive struggles, there has been one small bright spot in wide receiver Andre Holmes. The 6'4, 210-pound receiver took advantage of garbage time in London, recording five catches for 74 yards and a touchdown against the Miami Dolphins in Week 4. Holmes has an 11-148-1 line through four games.
Fantasy impact: Quarterback Derek Carr suffered an ankle sprain in London, but he practiced this week and is expected to play. Holmes is one of the few Raiders players worth holding in 12-team fantasy leagues, although his weekly value is so dependent on matchups and game state that it's hard to trust him in your starting lineup.
The Chargers are allowing just 194.8 passing yards per game, second in the league. They could run away with this game early, giving Holmes some potential garbage time targets, but he’s still a risky WR4 with big downside.
