Raiders Want Derek Carr To Scramble More Often

Oakland Raiders head coach Jon Gruden and quarterback Derek Carr are working on more QB scrambles this preseason.

Why You Should Wait on Tight End This Year

I like to stay flexible in my fantasy football draft preparations. I have a Plan A, of course, but there are always contingencies for when things inevitably take an unexpected turn on draft day. The one element of my planning process that I tend to stick to no matter what, however, is my preference to […]

Tyrell Williams Out To Prove He’s More Than A Deep Threat

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Tyrell Williams is known as one of the league’s top deep threats in football.

Williams finished last season 11th in yards […]

Derek Carr Getting More Comfortable With Offense

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr is progressing more comfortably in his second season under head coach Jon Gruden.

Josh Jacobs Needs To “Earn” Starting Role

Jalen Richard Could Prosper With Better Talent Around Him

With the onslaught of new talent brought in by the Oakland Raiders this offseason, running back Jalen Richard could find more success despite being further down the list of the team’s top offensive weapons.

Dynasty ADP Arbitrage - Josh Jacobs vs Kerryon Johnson

Dynasty is a young man’s game. Not for the age of the participant, but the age of the players you want on your team. Especially at the running back position, it is imperative to find the young stud. Frank Gore notwithstanding, the typical RB hits a wall at age 30. The shelf life for a running […]

Buying James Conner as a First-Rounder

Last season, the biggest debate in fantasy football heading into drafts was whether or not running back Le'Veon Bell was worthy of the first overall pick, let alone a first-round draft pick.
