Alec Ingold Plans To Play Through Fractured Ribs

Las Vegas Raiders fullback Alec Ingold (ribs) suffered two fractured ribs in the Week 9 win over the Chargers, but he is planning to play through the injuries in Week 10 against the division-rival Broncos, according to a source.

Coaching Matters: Offenses That Will Improve From Week 9

This series continues into its ninth 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 9, we saw performances such as the Minnesota Vikings wide receivers combining for five receptions, Josh Allen throwing for 415 yards, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers […]

Josh Jacobs Active For Week 9

As expected, Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (knee, illness) will play against the Chargers in Week 9. Appearing on the injury list late in the week, it looked like Jacobs's status could be in doubt, but he should be good to go. The Chargers Defense has struggled against opposing running backs, making Jacobs […]

Booms and Busts - Starts and Sits for Week 9 Lineups

In what has been a consistent weekly thing, Week 8 in fantasy brought us numerous unknowns providing sparks in terms of production. Seeing players like Drew Lock, DeeJay Dallas, and Corey Davis high in their positional rankings is not where we thought we would be at this point in the NFL season. But as injuries […]

Trent Brown To Miss At Least A Month

Las Vegas Raiders offensive tackle Trent Brown is out at least a month after suffering complications from COVID-19. Brown also had a pre-game issue with an IV that left him in the hospital before the Week 8 game, which is something that the NFL is investigating. Let's hope that Brown makes a full recovery. Las […]

Josh Jacobs Expected To Play

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (knee, illness) is expected to suit up on Sunday against the Chargers. Jacobs had a DNP on Thursday after practicing fully on Wednesday, which was an ominous sign for Sunday. However, he turned things around with a limited session on Friday and will be on the field against […]

Darren Waller Likely To Bounce Back Against Chargers

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller had a difficult Week 8 game against the Browns, but that was in large part due to the inclement weather and the Raiders struggling to throw the ball. Waller still managed to catch five passes but had just 27 yards. While it was a disappointing fantasy day, Waller […]

Henry Ruggs III A Risky Option In Week 9

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs III had just two catches for eight yards last week against the Browns and remains a risky option going forward. He has just one game this season where he has caught at least three passes. This is also not an easy matchup considering the Chargers rank ninth against […]

Derek Carr Looks To Rebound Against Chargers

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr had a tough game last week against the Browns where the weather was a massive factor. He will have a good opportunity to bounce back this week against a Chargers Defense that ranks 31st against opposing quarterbacks so far this season. Carr is averaging two touchdowns per game and […]

Josh Jacobs Questionable Against Chargers

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (knee, illness) is listed as questionable for the divisional matchup in Week 9 against the Chargers. Jacobs got in a full practice on Wednesday and was limited on Friday, so he should be good to go for this one and should remain in the RB1 ranks this weekend. […]

Raiders Lose Draft Pick For COVID-19 Protocol Violations

The NFL fined the Las Vegas Raiders $500,000 more, head coach Jon Gruden another $150,000 and took away the team's 2021 sixth-round pick for repeated COVID-19 protocol violations, according to Yahoo's Charles Robinson. The protocol violations were related to right tackle Trent Brown's positive COVID-19 test in late October. They become the first team in […]

Johnathan Abram Misses Another Practice

Las Vegas Raiders safety Johnathan Abram (illness) missed his second straight practice on Thursday with an illness. Abram has not tested positive for COVID-19 or been placed on the COVID-19 list, so he still has a shot at playing in Week 9 against the division-rival Chargers, but he'll need to get in at least a […]

Trent Brown Goes Back On COVID-19 List

Las Vegas Raiders right tackle Trent Brown was put back on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday, the second time he's been on the list after testing positive for the virus two weeks ago. Brown is still suffering from complications related to the illness. He was scheduled to start in Week 8 against the Browns, but […]

Josh Jacobs Held Out Of Practice Thursday

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (knee, illness) was sidelined for Thursday's practice as he deals with both an illness and a lingering knee ailment. The move is somewhat concerning in light of having been a full practice participant Wednesday, in addition to the signing of veteran running back Theo Riddick to the active roster. […]

Coaching Matters: Offenses That Will Improve From Week 8

This series continues into its eighth 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.

Trent Brown Released From Hospital

Las Vegas Raiders right tackle Trent Brown has been released from a Cleveland hospital and is headed back to Las Vegas, according to a source.

Raiders Defense Loses Tanner Muse For Rest Of Season

Las Vegas Raiders rookie linebacker Tanner Muse (toe) underwent surgery on his toe on Monday and will miss the rest of the season, according to a source.

Trent Brown Remains In Hospital

Las Vegas Raiders right tackle Trent Brown is still in a Cleveland hospital on Monday, a day after he had an episode while taking a pre-game IV in the team's locker room, according to a source. Air reportedly entered Brown's bloodstream, causing him to require medical attention. He had just come off the COVID-19 list […]

Trent Brown, Bryan Edwards Inactive For Week 8

Las Vegas Raiders right tackle Trent Brown has been activated off of the COVID list, but it appears the team wants to wait another week before getting him back on the field. This will make things tougher for the Raiders in this contest, as Brown's a key part of their offensive line. Wide receiver Bryan […]

Bryan Edwards Questionable Against Browns

Las Vegas Raiders rookie wide receiver Bryan Edwards (ankle, foot) is listed as questionable for Week 8 against the Browns. Edwards was limited in practice all week, so he definitely has a chance to return for the first time since Week 3. The third-rounder has caught five of his six targets for 99 yards in […]

Darren Waller Has Favorable Week 8 Matchup

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller is having another solid season and will have a great opportunity to continue that this week against the Browns. Waller is currently third in fantasy points per game among tight ends, and the Browns rank 28th against opposing tight ends this season. He is leading the Raiders in […]

Henry Ruggs III's Value Rests With The Big Play

Las Vegas Raiders rookie wide receiver Henry Ruggs III is likely not a volume receiver in Week 8 against the Browns, but he certainly has big-play potential. He showed why he was so dangerous in Week 5 against the Chiefs, getting loose in the secondary for a 72-yard touchdown. However, it seems as if that […]

Josh Jacobs Looks For Bounce-Back Performance

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs had his worst performance of the year in Week 7, rushing for just 17 yards on 10 carries. He will have an opportunity to rebound this week, but rushing yards still will not come easy. Jacobs is averaging just 3.4 yards per carry on the season, and the […]

Derek Carr A Potential QB1 In Week 8

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr is having a career year so far, and he will have a good chance to build on that against the Browns. He has multiple passing touchdowns in every game this season other than Week 1 and currently ranks 12th in fantasy points per game among quarterbacks. He has a […]

Darren Waller Continues To Produce

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller had another solid outing, catching six passes on nine targets for 50 yards and a touchdown against the Buccaneers. He has seen the most targets in almost every game this season, and today was another example of that. The Buccaneers are one of the best defenses in the […]

Henry Ruggs III Catches Two Passes

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs III caught just two passes on three targets for 35 yards in a Sunday loss against the Buccaneers. We have seen that Ruggs' value lies with the big play, and he was not able to get loose in this stingy Buccaneers secondary. Ruggs is averaging just two receptions […]
