Andre Holmes

Andre Holmes expected to start for Bills in place of Jordan Matthews (thumb)

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Andre Holmes will likely replace Jordan Matthews as a starter opposite Zay Jones in Week 5 against the Cincinnati Bengals, writes ESPN's Mike Rodak.

What It Means:

Matthews is undergoing surgery for a thumb injury that will sideline him indefinitely, so Holmes will step in as the Bills' second receiver opposite Jones. He's turned 8 targets into 6 catches for 35 yards and 2 touchdowns this season. Charles Clay should also see a few more targets in Week 5 with Matthews on the shelf.

numberFire's models project Holmes to score 5.4 FanDuel points at a cost of $4,600 in Week 5. He's pegged for 4.5 targets, 2.6 receptions, 31.9 yards, and 0.15 touchdowns versus the Bengals, making him the WR58 in our weekly fantasy rankings.
