Henry Ruggs III Lands On COVID-19 List

Las Vegas Raiders rookie wide receiver Henry Ruggs III has been placed on the COVID-19 list as of Tuesday, meaning that he will miss Thursday's game versus the Chargers. Players do not have to test positive in order to be placed on the list. Ruggs has held down a modest role in the Raiders passing game, […]

Raiders Defense Sees Three Key Cogs Miss Tuesday’s Practice

The Las Vegas Raiders defense is undergoing changes aplenty heading into Week 15 as Rod Marinelli is set to take over as defensive coordinator for Thursday's game against the Chargers. Now, the trio of defensive end Clelin Ferrell (shoulder), cornerback Damon Arnette (concussion/neck), and safety Johnathan Abram (concussion/knee) are all in doubt for taking the […]

Raiders Fire Defensive Coordinator Paul Guenther

The Las Vegas Raiders fired defensive coordinator Paul Guenther after their Week 14 loss to the Colts on Sunday. Rod Marinelli will take over as the interim defensive coordinator. Las Vegas lost to Indianapolis 44-27, the second time they allowed 40-plus points in the last three weeks. The 49-year-old Guenther was in his third season […]

Hunter Renfrow Catches Five Passes, Loses Fumble

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow had a performance he has become accustomed to with five catches on seven targets for 38 yards. However, Renfrow lost a fumble, which was his first one all season. He has at least six targets in each of his last three games and six such games all season. […]

Darren Waller Catches Seven Passes In Loss

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller had a solid day against the Colts, catching seven passes on 10 targets for 75 yards. It was not the performance he posted last week, but it was still a solid outing against a defense that ranked first against opposing tight ends coming into the week. Waller now […]

Nelson Agholor Goes For 100 Yards

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Nelson Agholor had a good game against the Colts, catching five passes on nine targets for 100 yards and a touchdown. This marks the second time this season where Agholor has eclipsed the 100-yard mark. He is having a consistent four-game stretch with at least four catches in each game. […]

Josh Jacobs Struggles In Return From Injury

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs had a tough day against the Colts in his return from injury, picking up just 49 rushing yards on 13 carries and catching three passes for 25 yards. His struggles can be attributed to injury that sidelined him last week and the Colts having a solid run defense. […]

Derek Carr Records Three Total Touchdowns

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr did not have his best performance against the Colts but still managed to throw for two touchdowns and rush for one. Carr had 316 yards on 45 attempts and threw two interceptions. His one interception was a bit unlucky as it deflected off Jalen Richard's hands, but this now […]

Josh Jacobs Looking Good For Week 14

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (ankle) is trending in the right direction after being listed as questionable and should play against the Colts in Week 14. Jacobs was able to practice in a limited fashion, unlike last week when he was ruled out, which is why there's optimism about his status. His return […]

Raiders Defense Should Be Left On Bench

The Raiders defense had a decent game last week due to forcing turnovers and tallying sacks, but they still allowed 28 points to an awful Jets offense. The Colts offense has limitations, but they still rank 10th in the league in scoring and are averaging over 28 points per game over their last three contests. […]

Darren Waller A TE1 Against Colts

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller had a dominant performance against the Jets last week but will definitely have a tougher matchup against the Colts Defense. The Colts defense ranks first against opposing tight ends, so receptions will not come easy. However, Waller is simply too good to be put on the bench. He […]

Hunter Renfrow Consistent But Has Low Ceiling

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow has been consistent throughout the year, but fantasy owners should not expect big performances from him. He has just two touchdowns all season and has not gone for over 100 yards in any game. With that being said, he has 15 targets and 11 receptions over the last […]

Henry Ruggs III Remains A Volatile Option

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs III is still a volatile fantasy option heading into this week against the Colts. He had three catches for 84 yards and a touchdown last week against the Jets, but his performance was saved by a game-winning, deep-ball touchdown. He does not have more than three catches in […]

Nelson Agholor Still A Potential Flex Option

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Nelson Agholor carries flex value in deeper leagues this week against the Colts. He has not been as inconsistent as he has been for most of the season with at least four catches in each of his last three games. He has also seen 26 total targets over the last […]

Devontae Booker Value Uncertain Heading Into Week 14

Las Vegas Raiders running back Devontae Booker has uncertain value heading into a Week 14 matchup with the Colts. Josh Jacobs (ankle) is currently questionable after being a limited participant in Friday's practice. If Jacobs is unable to go, Booker would get the bulk of the carries after getting 16 last week in Jacobs' absence. […]

Derek Carr Has Difficult Week 14 Matchup

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr played well against the Jets last week, but things will be more difficult in Week 14 against a stout Colts Defense. Despite ranking just 16th against opposing quarterbacks, the Colts defense has only allowed 15 passing touchdowns all season, which ranks third-least in the NFL. They have also forced […]

Josh Jacobs, Johnathan Abram Questionable

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (ankle) and safety Johnathan Abram (knee) are both questionable for Week 14 against the Colts. Cornerback Damon Arnette (concussion, neck) and safety Jeff Heath (concussion) have been ruled out. Jacobs was limited in practice on Thursday and Friday and is trending toward returning to action after sitting out […]

Josh Jacobs Returns To Practice Field Thursday

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (ankle) was able to return to the field for practice Thursday, just a day after sitting out as he continues to nurse his ankle injury. Earlier in the week, head coach Jon Gruden had expressed pessimism at having his top back on the field Sunday against Indianapolis, but […]

Raiders Defense Picks Up Daryl Worley

The Las Vegas Raiders signed free-agent cornerback Daryl Worley on Wednesday. The veteran played in seven games for the Cowboys and one for the Bills this year and has 14 tackles and one pass defensed in four starts. The 25-year-old was a third-round pick of the Panthers in 2016. He spent two years there before […]

Coaching Matters: Offenses That Will Improve From Week 13

This series continues into its thirteenth week of where I dive into offensive areas that will improve or decline based on coaching in order to glean insight as to fantasy football value. In Week 13, we saw performances such as the Philadelphia Eagles running backs combining for 59 rushing yards, Matthew Stafford throwing for 402 passing yards, and the Atlanta […]

Raiders Visiting With Spencer Ware

The Las Vegas Raiders are bringing in veteran running back Spencer Ware for a visit. The Raiders are expecting Josh Jacobs (knee), who missed the Week 13 win over the Jets, to miss another game, so it's no surprise that they are looking for reinforcements at the position behind Devontae Booker, Jalen Richard and Theo […]

Trent Brown Activated From COVID-19 List

The Las Vegas Raiders are activating offensive tackle Trent Brown from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday, according to a source. In a corresponding move, the team is releasing defensive tackle Daniel Ross, with plans to put Ross on the practice squad in order to have him active on game day. Brown has missed the last […]

Raiders Defense Has Solid Performance

The Raiders defense allowed 28 points against the Jets in a Week 13 win but had a solid performance otherwise. They were able to tally three sacks, force one interception, and recover two fumbles. However, the Jets offense is one of the worst in the league so allowing 28 points is nothing to brag about. […]

Nelson Agholor Has Mediocre Performance

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Nelson Agholor had four catches for 37 yards in a win against the Jets. While Agholor had a mediocre performance, it was not for a lack of targets. He had 11 targets, which was his most all season and second-most in the game behind Darren Waller. Agholor now has at […]

Hunter Renfrow Catches Four Passes

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow caught four passes for 47 yards in a 31-28 win against the Jets. This basically what Renfrow averages per game for the season, so this is what fantasy owners can expect. He has caught at least four passes in half of his games and has gone for at […]

Henry Ruggs III Catches Game-Winning Touchdown

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs III caught the game-winning touchdown against the Jets in Week 13. Ruggs struggled with a drop that led to an interception and a fumble but made up for it with the 46-yard touchdown that sealed the victory for the Raiders. Ruggs was able to take advantage of the […]

Darren Waller Goes For 200 Yards And Two Touchdowns

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller exploded in a Week 13 victory against the Jets with 13 catches on 17 targets for 200 yards and two touchdowns. It was reasonable to expect Waller to rebound after last week's lackluster performance, but fantasy owners have to be thrilled with this type of outing. This was […]

Devontae Booker Rushes For 50 Yards

Las Vegas Raiders running back Devontae Booker was unimpressive in a Week 13 win against the Jets. He carried the ball 16 times for 50 yards and did not offer much in the passing game. Other than Booker's longest run of 14 yards, he had just 15 carries for 36 yards, which is not even […]

Derek Carr Tallies Four Total Touchdowns

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr had an impressive stat-line in a Week 13 win against the Jets. He threw for 381 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception. He also picked up a rushing touchdown. This was a nice bounce-back performance for Carr after struggling against the Falcons last week. His 47 pass attempts was […]

Raiders Defense Worthy Of Starting Consideration In Week 13

The Raiders defense has been one of the worst in the league all season, but they may be worthy of starting consideration against a terrible Jets offense. The Jets have scored over 20 points in only three games all season. They have just nine passing touchdowns all season, a total passer rating of 70.3, and […]
