Holmes agreed to a two-year, $25.9 million contract with the Wizards in the offseason, and the veteran big man should add frontcourt depth to a rebuilding team. However, Holmes' best path at regular minutes will be to operate as Jonas Valanciunas' backup, meaning his playing time could settle around the 20-minute range. That would be an increase compared to the last two seasons, when he averaged 8.3 and 13.9 minutes per game, respectively, while playing for Sacramento, Dallas and Washington. Still, playing as a backup center on a rebuilding team, and especially considering the team's top prospect -- Alex Sarr -- is also a frontcourt option, Holmes might not see enough minutes or get enough touches to be a valuable fantasy contributor. Holmes might have some appeal in deep formats and as a streaming option due to the lack of depth the Wizards have in the frontcourt, but even in that scenario, his floor and upside are relatively low. There's no reason to draft Holmes in most formats.
