Josh Jacobs Has Lost Weight

Oakland Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (groin, illness), on top of the groin injury he's dealing with, said he's been sick and has lost 10 pounds. Jacobs could still play in Week 3 against the Vikings in a tough matchup, but he may not be close to 100 percent and could lose valuable touches to […]

The Stream Team - Week 3 Priority Free Agents

Knowing who to stream and when to stream them could be the ultimate difference-maker in a weekly matchup, and making the right streaming decisions throughout the season could easily […]

Derek Carr Off The Starting QB Radar

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr failed to capitalize in a juicy Week 2 matchup, making him difficult to trust with a grimmer task ahead in Week 3. The team will travel to take on a stout Vikings Defense who finished third-best in 2018 giving up 196 passing YPG. Carr has looked more comfortable overall in […]

Raiders Acquire Returner Trevor Davis

The Oakland Raiders acquired wide receiver/kick returner Trevor Davis from the Packers on Wednesday, according to a source. The speed demon is one of the league's better punt and kick returners and should compete for a spot on the receiver depth chart in Oakland. The 26-year-old had just one catch for 28 yards in two […]

Darren Waller A Low-End TE1 In Week 3

Oakland Raiders tight end Darren Waller has displayed a positive chemistry between himself and quarterback Derek Carr, and it should only grow stronger throughout the season. He currently leads the team with 13 catches and 15 targets through two games while showing a slick pair of hands and a dynamic athletic ability. With the Raiders […]

J.J. Nelson Still Limited At Practice

Oakland Raiders wide receiver J.J. Nelson got in a limited session at Wednesday's practice as he still recovers from an ankle injury. His ailment dates back to Week 2 of the preseason, which limited him to eight snaps in Week 1 and him not even dressing up for last week's game. Nelson has a shot […]

Josh Jacobs Limited Wednesday

Oakland Raiders running back Josh Jacobs got in a limited practice Wednesday after dealing with a groin issue following Sunday's loss to the Chiefs. The fact that the rookie participated early in the week is a good sign, and owners should be confident that he suits up for Week 3 barring any setbacks. Jacobs has […]

Time to Pounce on David Montgomery

Heading into the 2019 season, there were a few rookie names that fantasy owners were interested in. After what was viewed as a fairly underwhelming draft class by many, we've seen a handful of random rookies look good. Josh Jacobs of the Oakland Raiders was viewed by many (including myself) as the top running back […]

Welcome to another edition of "The Tape Tells All," where I break down some film of an NFL's player performance and try to draw some fantasy football conclusions from that film. This week, I'm looking at Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Demarcus Robinson, who had a huge game in Week 2 against the Raiders. Robinson […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 3

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis.

Waiver Wire Express - Week 3 Lightning Round

Week 2 solidified some waiver-wire adds as more than flashes in the pan, while other Week 1 studs followed that up with a flop. Whether you're coasting towards an easy 2-0 start, in the thick of it at 1-1 or up against it with an 0-2 team, you never stop improving. Stay tuned as injury updates […]

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 3

Week 2 of the NFL season is (mostly) over. A lot of the best wide receiver performances from the weekend were from players who most folks already own, which makes it a bit tougher to navigate the waiver wire this week. This wasn't like Week 1, where guys like John Ross exploded and were no-doubt […]

Demarcus Robinson (WR, KC) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leagues OWNED IN: 5% of leagues ANALYSIS: Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Demarcus Robinson had himself a game in Week 2, catching all six of his targets for 172 yards and a pair of touchdowns. The Raiders Defense just seemed unable to contain Patrick Mahomes' deep ball, and that […]

Tyrell Williams, Josh Jacobs Dinged Up

Oakland Raiders head coach Jon Gruden said that wide receiver Tyrell Williams (hip) is dealing with a hip pointer and rookie running back Josh Jacobs (groin) has a groin issue. It remains to be seen if either player is in danger of missing Week 3 at the Vikings, but their practices statuses this week will […]

Hunter Renfrow Leads Team In Targets

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow saw a team-high eight targets versus the Chiefs in Week 2 as he continues to build more chemistry with quarterback Derek Carr. He was only able to haul in four of these balls for 30 scoreless yards, but his growing involvement in the passing game is encouraging. Renfrow is […]

Derek Carr Inconsistent In Week 2

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr got his team off to a hot start against the Chiefs Sunday, but failed to do much after the team’s first two drives of the game. He marched the team down the field for a field goal and a touchdown pass to Tyrell Williams to open the contest, but went […]

Darren Waller Has Another Strong Game Versus Chiefs

Oakland Raiders tight end Darren Waller had another excellent showing in Week 2 versus the Chiefs. He caught 6-of-7 targets for 63 yards once again showing terrific athletic ability for his position. The former college receiver has yet to find the end zone through two games, but it’s only a matter of time before he […]

Josh Jacobs Impresses In Week 2

Oakland Raiders running back Josh Jacobs had another terrific outing in the team’s 28-10 loss to Kansas City Sunday. He gained 99 yards on only 12 carries aided by an outstanding 51-yard run. Game script hurt the rookie's ability to get more touches, but he certainly fared well with the opportunities he did get with […]

Tyrell Williams Catches TD In Loss

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Tyrell Williams caught five of seven targets and a touchdown in Sunday’s loss to the Chiefs. The veteran picked up 46 yards in the contest, once again proving to be the clear-cut WR1 in the offense. Williams got one other red-zone look that got intercepted, as the offense as a whole […]

Patrick Mahomes Carves Up Raiders Defense

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is off to an incredible start to the regular season. He threw for three touchdowns in Week 1, but still somehow managed to top that in Week 2. Mahomes completed 30 of his 44 attempts for 443 yards and four touchdowns with zero interceptions in the victory over the […]
