Bills' Andre Holmes: Lining up across from Watkins
Holmes has been getting most of the first-team snaps opposite Sammy Watkins at training camp, Sal Capaccio of WGR 550 reports.Zay Jones, the team's second-round pick, has been serving as the third receiver in three-wide sets. Holmes has the early advantage, but there's still plenty of time for Jones, Philly Brown or a darkhorse candidate to push the former Raider for the No. 2 job. The role probably will entail fewer targets than on other teams, as the Buffalo offense revolves around the legs of LeSean McCoy and Tyrod Taylor, with Watkins accounting for a big chunk of the targets if he's healthy.
