T.J. Hockenson: Your New Dynasty TE1

It certainly didn’t take long for rookie first-round pick T.J. Hockenson to make his presence known in Detroit. Selected eighth overall in the 2019 NFL Draft, Hockenson was one of the catalysts to Detroit’s offense in Week 1, catching six passes for 131 yards and a touchdown. He led the team in receiving yards and […]

Daniel Carlson Nails All Four Kicks In Win

Oakland Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson got off on the right foot in Monday's matchup versus the Broncos.

Hunter Renfrow A Non-Factor In Debut

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow didn't see much action in the team's 24-16 defeat over the Denver Broncos Monday. He caught 2-of-3 targets for 13 yards in his sporadic time on the field, but he did look sharp when he did catch the ball. Until Renfrow earns more playing time, he's solely a dynasty […]

Darren Waller Sees Team-High Eight Targets Monday

Oakland Raiders tight end Darren Waller lived up to his preseason hype in Monday night's win over the Broncos. He hauled in seven of his team-high eight targets, picking up 70 yards as a reliable pass-catcher for quarterback Derek Carr.

Derek Carr Efficient In Week 1 Victory

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr got his team off to a terrific start to the 2019 season, defeating the Broncos 24-16 in their Monday night showdown.

Tyrell Williams Has Big Night In Raiders Debut

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Tyrell Williams shined as the team's WR1 in Monday night's victory over the Denver Broncos.

Williams made […]

Josh Jacobs Notches Two Touchdowns In NFL Debut

Oakland Raiders running back Josh Jacobs had an impressive NFL debut Monday versus a tough Broncos Defense, finishing the night with 85 rushing yards on 23 carries. He recorded his first career touchdown on a two-yard run late in the second quarter and followed that up with a powerful four-yard TD in the fourth. The […]

Keelan Doss Inactive Monday Night

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Keelan Doss is unsurprisingly inactive for Monday night's game versus the Broncos. Recently reacquired from the Jaguars practice squad yesterday, there was never a chance for the undrafted rookie to play in this game with no practice reps all week. There's a possibility Doss suits up in the team's Week 2 […]

Antonio Brown Is Gone, What Now for the Raiders?

Antonio Brown’s tenure with Oakland was frequently high in drama but exceedingly low in contributions during his abbreviated time with the Raiders. Brown confined his offseason performances to stages that were located away from the field, and his erratic words and actions also deviated from the type of impact that Jon Gruden and the Raider […]

Keelan Doss Heading Back To Raiders

The Oakland Raiders have brought back wide receiver Keelan Doss after upping their contract offer in the wake of the Antonio Brown release. Doss signed on with the Jaguars for a league-minimum $495,000 salary earlier this week, but the Raiders showed desperation by tacking on an additional $300,000 signing bonus to the deal. The hometown […]

Quarterbacks typically struggle against pressure. You're going to have some that find ways to excel, but the majority prefer a clean pocket to throw from.

Oakland Raiders wide receiver J.J. Nelson will now step into a starting role with the recent loss of Antonio Brown.

Nelson has […]

Hunter Renfrow Destined For Higher Target Share

With Antonio Brown's high volume of targets now up for grabs, Oakland Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow should see an uptick in opportunities in lieu of this recent vacancy. The fifth-round rookie has perhaps the most reliable hands on the squad as well as quick agility to get open on shallower routes, making him a […]

Darren Waller Looks To Profit With One Less Mouth To Feed

In the wake of the Antonio Brown release, the Oakland Raiders will look to feed the ball more often to their new starting tight end, Darren Waller. His large 6-foot-6 stature, combined with his tremendous athletic ability, pegged him as a sleeper prior to this development, but now he may become a more featured option, […]

Tyrell Williams Now Raiders De Facto WR1

With the loss of Antonio Brown to the Oakland Raiders offense, wide receiver Tyrell Williams will now step into the vacant WR1 role. He profiles better as a complementary player, but he is now the team's top option at wideout with J.J. Nelson moving up the depth chart to the WR2 role. Williams' value takes […]
