Jordy Nelson's Touchdown Streak Snapped

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Jordy Nelson had his three-game touchdown streak ended in Sunday's loss versus the Seahawks.

Martavis Bryant Quiet In Loss

Bryant ended with only two catches for 18 yards and is still searching for […]

Jalen Richard Leads Team in Receiving

Oakland Raiders Running back Jalen Richard might've been the only bright spot for the team in Sunday's loss to the Seahawks. Richard ended the day with seven receptions for 48 yards, both of which were team highs. The offense was highly ineffective for the whole game, but he was able to provide enough for his […]

Doug Martin Useless In Loss

Oakland Raiders running back Doug Martin failed to make an impact yet again in this Sunday's loss to the Seahawks. The trip across the pond didn't turn out to be a good one for the Raiders and Martin couldn't do much. He finished with only one catch for eight yards and no touchdowns. Martin has […]

Derek Carr And Raiders Offense Asleep Versus Seattle

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr posted his worst game of the season in Sunday's loss against the Seahawks.

Raiders Open To Trading Amari Cooper, Karl Joseph

The Oakland Raiders have been in talks to trade former first-round wide receiver Amari Cooper and safety Karl Joseph. Cooper has been a disappointment for the Raiders and fantasy owners.

Martavis Bryant Will Play Against Seahawks

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Martavis Bryant (illness) is active for Week 6 in London against the Seahawks.

Week 6 Busts - Overvalued Players to Avoid In Fantasy Football

It's Week 6 in the NFL and the Cleveland Browns have now won two games! Everything we once knew has been radically changed...except that the Browns won partially because Joe Flacco couldn't beat them, and Joe Flacco failing to beat a team isn't a new development.

In an effort to expand my horizons, I've gotten involved with a bit of a... strange club at work. It came up organically, one co-worker to another, over a quick in-office chat. How familiar was I with card games? Oh yeah, I knew where this was going. "Pretty good," I said, "and even when I'm […]

RB Touches and Efficiency Breakdown - Week 6 Preview

It’s frustrating. I don’t claim to be smarter than NFL executives or general managers. While that would be a dream job, I’m content right here at my computer giving my opinion. With that being said, I would love to be in the coach’s room while they try to justify leaving running backs on the bench […]

Martavis Bryant Dealing With Flu

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Martavis Bryant (flu) is dealing with the flu but is cautiously optimistic about playing in London against the Seahawks.

Jordy Nelson In A Spot To Extend Touchdown Streak

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Jordy Nelson is looking to add another touchdown this week, which would make it four straight games. Nelson had a slow start to the season but has 15 receptions, 264 yards and three touchdowns in his last three weeks. The match is very favorable as he is up against the Seahawks […]

Amari Cooper's Roller-Coaster Ride Set To Continue This Week
