Philip Rivers (QB, LAC) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~120 Overall Current ADP: ~130 For the wait-on-quarterback crowd, Philip Rivers is the embodiment of why it's perfectly fine to be one of the last people in your league to draft a QB. I continue to be amazed by how undervalued he is from year to year. His "worst" season in […]

Derek Carr Poised For Return To Fantasy Relevance In 2019

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr is possibly in the best situation of his career heading into the 2019 regular season. With an improved offensive line, a brand new pass-catching corps which includes Antonio Brown, and a first-round rookie running back to hand the ball off to, Carr has the recipe to break out this season. […]

Hunter Renfrow Adding New Element To Offense

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow is poised for an impactful rookie season with the Silver and Black in 2019.

The Clemson product was renowned […]

Josh Jacobs Having A Quiet Preseason

Oakland Raiders running back Josh Jacobs hasn't stolen many headlines this preseason, but he's proving he belongs on an NFL field. The first-round rookie had a flashy showing on one Week 2 drive, showing great vision and explosion through the line as he picked up 21 yards on four carries. The Raiders drafted Jacobs in […]

Darren Waller Stealing The Spotlight This Preseason

Oakland Raiders tight end Darren Waller hasn't stopped receiving praise from the coaching staff since organized team activities in June as he continues to impress in the preseason.

Tyrell Williams Emerging As A Sleeper Candidate

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Tyrell Williams is flying under the radar not only on fantasy draft boards, but on his own team. Among the new players on the offense this season, Williams hasn't received as much praise from the coaching staff as other route-runners (i.e. Hunter Renfrow, Darren Waller), which is excellent news for his […]

Deeper Dynasty Sleepers to Stash (Premium Content)

Sleepers come in all shapes and sizes in fantasy football. It could be the undrafted free agent that teams passed over on draft day. It could be a third-string RB that suddenly ascends to relevance. It could be a veteran receiver that finally finds a chance to shine. Or it could be that player from […]

Around the NFL Pop Quiz: AFC South

There are some sleepers that I personally won't recommend. I refer to it as the "friends at work" rule. If you're reading this, you play fantasy football. If you play fantasy football, you're likely to talk about it with someone else. If you talk about it with someone else, it's very likely that at the […]

Daniel Carlson Wins Game In Winnipeg

Oakland Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson lifted his team past the Green Bay Packers in Thursday’s Week 3 preseason contest.

His other two […]

Marcell Ateman Has Another Quiet Game

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Marcell Ateman caught one of his four targets for 19 yards in Thursday’s preseason game versus the Packers.

Kirk Cousins - Still Underrated?

In 2018, Kirk Cousins finished as the fantasy QB13, which is just at the edge of the QB1 tier. So why did Fantasy Football Twitter collectively decide that Cousins was a complete bust last season? Well, Cousins had gotten a lot of hype behind him when he went to Minnesota. He'd finished as a top-10 fantasy quarterback […]

J.J. Nelson Nursing Ankle Injury

Oakland Raiders wide receiver J.J. Nelson was absent from the team's practice Tuesday after spraining his ankle in Thursday's preseason game.

Antonio Brown Returns To Practice With New Helmet

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Antonio Brown has rejoined the team Tuesday, getting in his first practice in nearly three weeks. He was on the field in a brand new helmet, and head coach Jon Gruden said “he’s all in. Ready to go.” Brown filed a second grievance with the league yesterday, which will likely fall […]

Foster Moreau Not Likely To Make Major Impact In 2019

Oakland Raiders tight end Foster Moreau is having a strong preseason, but likely won't find much success in the passing game this year. Rookie tight ends are notorious for starting slow offensively, and Moreau will likely follow this trend. With standout Darren Waller thriving as a pass-catcher so far in camp, the Raiders can afford […]

Doss is competing for one […]

Doug Martin Ready For Backup Role

Oakland Raiders running back Doug Martin is slated for a backup role with the Silver and Black this season after leading the team in rushing in 2018.
