Seth Roberts Set To Be Raiders Top Receiver
Oakland Raiders wide receiver Seth Roberts is in a spot for an increased role in the offense but has a tough matchup. He is going up against a very tough Cardinals secondary who are 5th (Defense-adjusted Value Over Average) against the pass. Despite this tougher matchup, Roberts is set to be a popular option in […]
Tom Vecchio 6 years agoBrandon LaFell In Line For More Targets This Week
Oakland Raiders wide receiver Brandon LaFell is set for an increased workload in Sunday's game versus the Cardinals. With both Jordy Nelson and Martavis Bryant both being ruled out for this game, LaFell should be one of the receivers to get the start. Over the past three weeks, LaFell has seen a total of 13 […]

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Martavis Bryant has been ruled out for this Sunday's game against the Cardinals. Bryant sustained the injury last week and according to reports will miss a few weeks.

Tom Vecchio 6 years agoJordy Nelson Out Against The Cardinals
Oakland Raiders wide receiver Jordy Nelson has been ruled out for this Sunday's game against the Cardinals. Nelson left last week's game briefly with a quad issue but eventually returned.

Tom Vecchio 6 years agoJalen Richard Has Some Upside Against Cardinals This Week
Oakland Raiders running back Jalen Richard could be one of the only Raiders with fantasy value this week against the Cardinals. The Raiders are set to be trailing this game by nearly one full score, which would put Richard in a spot to see some volume in the passing game. Richard has five or more […]
Tom Vecchio 6 years agoDoug Martin In A Tough Spot Against The Cardinals
Oakland Raiders running back Doug Martin is facing off against the Cardinals this week, which makes him a fringe fantasy option. The matchup itself is fine for Martin as the Cardinals are 13th DVOA (Defense-adjusted Value Over Average) against the rush, but with the Raiders projected to be trailing in this game, Martin's role in […]
Tom Vecchio 6 years agoDerek Carr A Risky Play As Always This Week
Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr is a risky play against the Cardinals and should be considered an option to sit. In his last four games, Carr has three games where he hasn't recorded a touchdown, which is showing how limited his fantasy value truly is. The Raiders have an implied team total set at 17.5 […]

Tom Vecchio 6 years agoOakland Raiders Defense Struggles Yet Again
The Oakland Raiders defense was hit hard again this week and shouldn't be considered a fantasy option moving forward. They have now allowed 20 points or more in every single game this season. They are struggling to stop teams from moving the ball along with the fact they cannot get pressure on the quarterback, as […]

Oakland Raiders tight end Jared Cook had a strong game against the Chargers, despite not coming away with the win. Cook finished with four catches for 52 yards, which was a big improvement from last Thursday's game against the 49ers where he finished with only two catches. Cook is one of very few Raiders who […]

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Martavis Bryant had little impact on the offense in Sunday's loss to the Chargers and left with an injury.

Tom Vecchio 6 years agoJalen Richard Leads Team In Receptions Against Chargers
Oakland Raiders running back Jalen Richard posts another solid stat line, showing why he might be the only member of the Raiders offense who has fantasy value left this season. Richard ended with five catches for 52 yards on six targets but didn't find the end zone. With the game script set to have the […]
Tom Vecchio 6 years agoDoug Martin Plays Well, Not Enough To Help Offense
Oakland Raiders running back Doug Martin posted a solid stat line in Sunday's loss to the Chargers. Martin ended with 15 carries for 61 yards, which is good for 4.1 yards per carry. This now makes three straight games where Martin is averaging over four yards per carry, showing he is replacing the injured Marshawn […]
Tom Vecchio 6 years agoDerek Carr And The Offense Comes Up Short Again
Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr struggled to do anything significant in Sunday's loss to the Chargers. Carr finished with just 243 yards, no touchdowns, and no interceptions, all while exuding inconsistency with the offense. This now makes three times in the last four games where he has not recorded a touchdown. At this point in […]

Tom Vecchio 6 years agoJared Cook Can Only Go Up After Dud Last Week
Oakland Raiders tight end Jared Cook needs a big performance this week against the Chargers. Last week Cook finished with only two catches for 20 yards on two targets, which would make it his second worst game of the season.

Tom Vecchio 6 years agoOakland Raiders Defense A No Go This Week

Tom Vecchio 6 years agoSeth Roberts Could Be A Sneaky Option This Week
Oakland Raiders wide receiver Seth Roberts is a risky but interesting option this week against the Chargers. Roberts saw only two targets last week, but the offense was lackluster overall, so take it with a grain of salt. In the two weeks prior, he had a total of 10 targets, seven receptions, and one touchdown. […]
Tom Vecchio 6 years agoMartavis Bryant Brings Limited Fantasy Value This Week
Oakland Raiders wide receiver Martavis Bryant is a fringe fantasy option at best this week against the Chargers. Bryant has yet to have a game where he shows any fantasy value and with the inconsistency by Derek Carr, his potential is limited. Bryant is known for his big-play ability, but with the Raiders unable to […]
Tom Vecchio 6 years agoJordy Nelson Fantasy Value Limited Versus Chargers
Oakland Raiders wide receiver Jordy Nelson has a tough matchup this Sunday against the Chargers and makes a risky fantasy option. Nelson has only seen 10 targets over the past three games combined, which is his lowest of any three-game stretch this season. He was set to see an increased role in the offense with […]
Tom Vecchio 6 years agoJalen Richard In A Great PPR Spot Against The Chargers
Oakland Raiders running back Jalen Richard has plenty of upside in Sunday's game versus the Chargers. Richard has always been the pass-catching back for the Raiders and now with them coming in as 10-point home underdogs, he should see plenty of usage in the offense. Richard has four or more targets in seven of his […]
Tom Vecchio 6 years agoDoug Martin In A Bad Spot For Production This Week
Oakland Raiders running back Doug Martin will have a tough time reaching fantasy value this week against the Chargers. This game has the Chargers as 10-point favorites, which would mean the Raiders have to pass the ball in order to catch up. This would push Martin out of the offense since he has a very […]
Tom Vecchio 6 years agoDerek Carr Tough To Trust Versus Chargers
Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr is in a tougher spot this week against the Chargers and with his inconsistency, he makes a very risky option. Carr was pulled in last week's loss to the 49ers on Thursday night after throwing for under 200 yards and no touchdowns. His production has been a roller coaster all […]
