The Oakland Raiders released their first depth chart of training camp. There aren't too many surprises, but the wide receiver position is getting some clarity, with Andre Holmes listed as one of the starters alongside Rod Streater.
Andre Holmes listed as starter on Raiders depth chart; gaining fantasy relevance
Andre Holmes has been a slow riser through the offseason and is now listed as a starter in Oakland’s first depth chart. We break down the fantasy implications.

In 2013, entering his third NFL season, Holmes had a minor coming-out party. Over the last five games of the season, he caught 22 passes for 366 yards and a touchdown, averaging 16.6 yards per catch. The Raiders signed James Jones in the offseason, but he's listed on the second team behind Holmes and Streater.
Fantasy impact: Holmes was a neat waiver-wire find down the stretch last year, and earning a starting job would be a boost to his fantasy prospects even with Oakland’s uncertain quarterback position. He’s worth a late-round flier with WR3 upside if the Raiders find a pulse on offense.
On the other end of the spectrum, Denarius Moore has fallen down to the fourth team on the depth chart and could be fighting for a roster spot in preseason. He can be left on the waiver wire.
