Andre Holmes the favorite for #3 WR job

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones hinted that Andre Holmes has emerged as the favorite to win the team’s #3 WR job.  Jones said Holmes "really stood out" with a 3-catch, 40-yard performance in the preseason opener Monday night.  Signed as an undrafted free-agent last year, Holmes spent his rookie season on the practice squad.  But he’s made strides this offseason and has come on in practice of late.  Holmes offers a 6’4, 223-pound frame and 4.5 speed.  If he wins the #3 job, he’ll at least be worth late-round consideration in fantasy drafts.  But he’d need an injury to Miles Austin or Dez Bryant to be a starting option.
