Darren Waller Has Strong Performance Against Chiefs

Nelson Agholor Goes For 88 Yards

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Nelson Agholor had a very good game against the Chiefs, catching six passes on a team-high nine targets for 88 yards and a touchdown.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs had 17 carries for 55 yards and a touchdown in a loss against the Chiefs. The Chiefs Defense held Jacobs to just 3.2 yards per carry, which was his lowest since Week 7. While yards came a bit difficult, Jacobs was able to find the end zone for […]

Week 10 was a mixed bag, starting with the surprising Giants' upset of the Eagles.

Raiders Defense Unlikely To Duplicate Last Week's Performance

The Raiders defense had a great performance against the Broncos last week, but that will almost certainly not happen this week against the Chiefs offense. They have to take on Patrick Mahomes this week, who has an insane stat-line on the year with 25 touchdown passes and just one interception. They held Mahomes to one […]

Darren Waller Still Considered A Must-Start Option

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller had a down week last week against the Broncos but will likely bounce back this week against the Chiefs.

Hunter Renfrow Not A Flex Option Against Chiefs

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow has caught a pass in every game this season but has not posted too many solid fantasy performances to be considered a reliable flex option in deeper leagues. He played in just 34 percent of the team's offensive snaps in Week 5 against the Chiefs where he caught […]

Henry Ruggs III Can't Be Trusted In Week 11

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs III is probably best suited on the bench in Week 11 against the Chiefs. He had over 100 yards and a touchdown against the Chiefs in Week 5 but managed to catch just two passes. In seven games this season, Ruggs has just 13 catches on 25 targets. […]

There is optimism that Las Vegas Raiders offensive tackle Trent Brown could be cleared to resume working out as early as next week, according to a source.

Raiders Defense Hit Hard By COVID-19

Nearly the entire Las Vegas Raiders starting defense is going on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday because of high-risk close contacts with defensive end Clelin Ferrell, who tested positive for coronavirus. However, because they are just close contacts, they will be eligible to play against the division-rival Chiefs on Sunday night in Week 11 if […]

Clelin Ferrell Likely Out For Raiders Defense

Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Clelin Ferrell tested positive for COVID-19 and is likely to miss the Week 11 game against the division-rival Chiefs.

Clelin Ferrell, Lamarcus Joyner Going On COVID-19 List

The Las Vegas Raiders placed defensive end Clelin Ferrell and defensive back Lamarcus Joyner on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday. If both Ferrell and Joyner were deemed high-risk close contacts of someone that tested positive for the virus, they'll have a chance to play in Week 12 against the division-rival Chiefs. But if both players […]

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow saw just two targets during Sunday's win over the Broncos, tying a season low. While Renfrow hauled in both passes for receptions (upping his catch percentage to 74.4 on the year), he has now seen three or fewer targets in half of his appearances this season. With the […]

Raiders Defense Grabs Four Interceptions

The Las Vegas Raiders defense had a dominant performance against the Broncos, allowing just 12 points and intercepting Drew Lock four times. They also recovered a fumble and notched two sacks. While it was a dominant performance, fantasy owners should not be too optimistic about this defense. The Broncos offense has been poor for most […]

Nelson Agholor Catches One Pass

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Nelson Agholor caught just one pass for eight yards in a Sunday win against the Broncos. Agholor was seen as a potential flex option coming into the week, but he showed why he is a volatile choice. He dropped a couple passes, which is something he has struggled with throughout […]

Henry Ruggs III Goes For 31 Yards Against Broncos

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs III caught three passes for 31 yards in a Sunday win against the Broncos. Ruggs has been a disappointment so far this season, but his four targets were tied for the second most he has seen all season. Hopefully this is a bit of a sign that the […]

Darren Waller Catches Three Passes

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller had a disappointing day against the Broncos, catching just three passes on five targets for 37 yards. While it was a disappointing day, fantasy owners should not be concerned. It was a day where the Raiders rushing attack and defense mostly dominated the game, so it did not […]

Josh Jacobs Dominates Against Broncos

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs had another good performance against the Broncos, rushing 21 times for 112 yards and two touchdowns in a win.

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr had another lackluster performance, completing 16 of 25 passes for 154 yards and zero touchdowns. This marks three straight performances where Carr has thrown less than 30 pass attempts and fewer than 200 yards. Today's poor fantasy performance was in large part due to the Raiders' success in running […]

GPP DFS Value Plays for FanDuel, DraftKings (Week 10) - Daily Fantasy Football Advice

I am feeling quite aggressive with my Week 10 GPP Value plays. I think part of it is that my spider senses are tingling big time about this week. Something in my gut is gnawing at me. Or perhaps that is last night's make-your-own-pizza refusing to go quietly. But something just feels wrong about this […]

Impossible To Trust Raiders Defense In Week 10

The Raiders defense has been bad all season, allowing at least 20 points in all but one game this season. They rank 23rd in total defense and 24th in scoring defense. They are also not good at getting to the quarterback with just nine sacks all year. The Broncos offense has not been great, but […]
