Derek Carr A Low-End Week 10 Streamer

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr has put together three straight productive games, but his task will get a bit tougher on Thursday versus the Chargers.

Arden Key Expected To Miss Rest Of Season

Oakland Raiders defensive end Arden Key (foot) broke his foot in Week 9 against the Lions and is expected to miss the rest of the season. He will get a second opinion from Dr. Robert Anderson. Key was second on the team with two sacks this year. Although Key wasn't on the radar in IDP […]

Fleaflicker's Most Added and Dropped: Week 9

Sometimes two statements can be both totally contradictory and totally true. Technically the Miami Dolphins are trying their hardest to win every game. Also technically, when you let Ryan Fitzpatrick throw the ball 34 times, you aren't really trying to win that game.
