Oakland Raiders Defense Roasted Against The Chiefs
The Oakland Raiders as a defense were pushed around in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs, as they gave up 40 points. The Raiders have no given up 20 points or more in every single game this season and continue to be a team you want to be targeting players against. They were able to recover... Read More

Read More
Seth Roberts Posts Modest Stat Line In Loss
Oakland Raiders wide receiver Seth Roberts posted a very average stat line in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs. Roberts ended with just three receptions for 25 yards and no touchdowns.

Nelson ended with 10 catches for 97 yards and no touchdowns, all on 11 targets, which was a team-high.

Raiders Defense Not An Option This Week
The Oakland Raiders defense is not an option this week against the Chiefs and should be benched. The Chiefs come in with an implied team total set at 35 points, which is highest of any team on the slate. With how bad the Raiders defense has been all season, giving up 20 points or more... Read More
Jared Cook Should Post Solid Numbers Against The Chiefs
Oakland Raiders tight end Jared Cook should be a safe option this week against the Chiefs. Cook has posted touchdowns in three of his past five games, which we should be able to continue this week, as the Chiefs have the 25th (Defense-adjusted Value Over Average) against tight ends this season. With the Raiders almost certainly... Read More
Marcell Ateman A High-Risk, High-Reward Option
Oakland Raiders rookie wide receiver Marcell Ateman stands to benefit this Sunday against the Chiefs, especially if he can replicate last week's numbers. Ateman came away with 10 targets last week against the Ravens but was only able to turn that into three catches for 16 yards. The volume is fantastic to see, but what... Read More

Jordy Nelson Can Only Go Up From Last Week
Oakland Raiders wide receiver Jordy Nelson is set for a better game this week since he posted zeros across the board last week against the Ravens. The Raiders are still very injured at the wide receiver spot, which should allow Nelson to see plenty of volume in a decent matchup against the Chiefs who have... Read More
Jalen Richard Set For Large Role In The Offense This Week
Oakland Raiders running back Jalen Richard brings strong PPR value in this Sunday's game against the Chiefs. We should be seeing the Raiders playing from behind, as they are 15-point home underdogs, which would put Richard in a spot to continue his pass-catching role in the offense. Richard has posted four or more receptions in... Read More
Doug Martin Has Favorable Opponent, Bad Game Script
Oakland Raiders running back Doug Martin is coming off a week where he scored his first touchdown of the season, but likely won't be in a spot for massive production this weekend. He is up against the Chiefs who are 32nd (Defense-adjusted Value Over Average) versus the rush, which sets him up, in theory, for... Read More
Derek Carr Makes A Viable But Risky Fantasy Option
Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr is in play this week for fantasy owners, only due to his favorable matchup. This week, he is up against the Chiefs, who come in with the 25th (Defense-adjusted Value Over Average) overall and the 13 DVOA versus the pass. This game has the Raiders set to be trailing by...
