BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues
OWNED IN: 61% owned on Fleaflicker
ANALYSIS: Michael Crabtree deserves to be one of the hottest names on the waiver wire, but unfortunately, 61 percent of people may have beaten you to the punch. The Oakland Raiders have no problem airing it out quite a bit, and rookie Amari Cooper and Crabtree will be the two players to benefit the most. As FOX Sports reported, the Raiders actually want to continue to get Crabtree the ball more moving forward.
Well, to this point in 2015, Crabtree has hauled in 33 balls for 381 yards and two touchdowns. His most recent game against the San Diego Chargers featured six catches for 63 yards and a score. Don't be surprised to see Crabtree remain as a go-to option for Derek Carr as the 2015 season rolls on. The Raiders have two solid matchups in the Pittsburgh Steelers and Detroit Lions scheduled over the next four weeks. Both teams rank in the bottom 14 of the NFL against opposing wide receivers, which should set up beautifully for Crabtree.
